Yes or no.I've had this view for a while but it keeps on getting clearer and clearer. Now someone might say if it was rigged then they'd make a suns cavs finals. Stern would probably like that but it's not possible for stern for a 7 games series to blatently help one team. That'd make it too obvious.

I have got to agree. It has never been as bad as this season, but it's getting obvious. Good for Stern though because more games equals more money. The NBA needs a change. They need a commish who won't try to rig games. This is a great time for this league and it's really getting F*cked up because of terrible officiating and making it seem like the games are rigged. It's really pathetic.
Mavsfan and Waqas you guys really need to change your sig or something. I can never tell the difference in who posts. You both have the same sig and neither of you have an avatar.Im sorry back to topic. Shame on me :ban:
I can't believe you have actually sunk down to this level. Now always is your favorite team going to win, calls go both ways whether you like it or not. When your watching your favorite team play you don't notice or care if the other team doesn't get the calls there way. After this 1 game it seems all of you so-called "fans" are blaming the refs. The fact is calls will always go against your team, refs aren't robots and don't use replay or any other tool to make there calls. You have also resorted to blame David Stern, guess what he isn't the one making the calls in the game. I have never seen a series full of more stupid comments from the fans then this one, it's amazing how when a team loses the fingers automatically go to the referees.
i think that nba games are rigged to an extent,as in calls go in favor some teams the refs favor or players the refs favor lol but im serious also whenever games are nationally televised on like tnt or espn sometimes abc refs try to make the game close by calling more fouled on a team that might be leading by more than 6,ive sent e-mails to the nba with that theory and their response is that they say its not possible...yea ok...and in that last play in the mavs-heat game 5 i think avery johnson said they assumed that they wanted a timeout at that point...referees are getting worse and worse these days especially in this years playoffs,but it gets harder and harder to officiate when players complain on every foul they get...makes them want to call more fould on those players.Players that whine alot:Antoine Walker,Sasha Vujachic,sam cassell,ron artest, those names just stick out but there is a hell of a lot more whiners in the nba
I'm not blaming the refs for the Mavs loss. I think the Heat deserved it more but that's not the point. So many teams have been getting screwed. No Stern does not make the calls, he gives the refs their pay checks and also gives suspensions, some of which thatr have been really retarded.
Your comments mean absoultely nothing simply because your team won. I have been saying that there's some shifty things going on earlier on in the playoffs, particularly the suns/laker series. Game 4 highlights that.There is no way in hell refs can make so many stupid calls without being biased, they obviosly favoured the wade and the heat.
It's easy for most of you to sit in chairs and complain about how bad the refs are doing, easy to say because your not in there position. EVERY superstar has calls going his way and it's common sense that most calls will go in favor of the home team. I don't think the NBA is rigged and never will, it's a matter of what team plays harder and gives more heart every night.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Melo_061 @ Jun 19 2006, 03:52 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Your comments mean absoultely nothing simply because your team won.</div>I could care less, when the Heat loss there first two did you ever hear any of us say absolutely anything about the refs? Right now it just sounds like your mad because your favorite teams haven't been playing like you thought they would.
Go watch the end of Game 4 of the Suns-Lakers series. There were two refs right there and there were like 3 things they could have called against the Lakers and they called a jump ball. I know the refs have a tough job but that was the easiest call they could have made all year. The NBA IS rigged. Not in a really serious way were they can make any team they want advanced but some games are.Heatfan, why would you say anything about the refs when the Mavs won by 10 or more the first two games?

I really do hope Mavs win game 6 and 7, maybe some of you will sound less biased.
That was an EASY call though. Come on, I'm not saying the Heat didn't deserve this game. I actually like them more than the Mavs, but after watching the whole playoffs it's pretty obvious some games are being rigged.
You need to open your eyes, your team got every call pissible and the least you could do is give some props to the refs

Yeah, I thanked the refs after Round 2. They really favored the Suns. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (LakersFan247 @ Jun 19 2006, 01:02 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>ok i realize that you are a suns fan so ill say this nicely,that was the right call,i watch the replay about 5 times that day and the next day when people complained about it and you can see there was no foul,walton had all ball,im going to try to find a replay of it</div>Walton was stepping out of bounds too. They were saying they also could have caled that. There was something else too and then the possibility of a foul. Melo is a Lakers fan and he brought it up.

Once game 6 comes I bet there will be a bunch of calls going the Mavs way. I believe Joe Crawford was refereeing in this game also, don't the Mavs have a horrible record with him. Calls go both ways, stop having a heart attack because the refs called a bad game.
