Is the NBA rigged?

[M4YH3M1]

You can say refs change the outcomes of games with their fouls..

Perhaps they might, but REMEMBER! players have to get themselves into that compromising situation to be called for a foul!!

Exactly. If Curry hadn't tried to reach or steal the ball he wouldn't have put himself in that position. He should've been trying as hard as he could to stay away from the ball

It's not rigged but for the life of me I do not understand why Curry does not get the LeBron treatment from the refs. He seems to be in foul trouble early in every game.

Cavs attacked Curry on defense which is why he was in foul trouble, just like the Warriors attacked Love on defense and he had 2 fouls in less than 2 minutes.

And LeBron shoves people out of the way constantly on his drives. Those are fouls.

I'm just saying...if one superstar is getting called for tickey-tack stuff then the other superstar needs to be called as well.

It has been called at times, like the warriors moving screens to set up splash brother's 3's sometimes get called. Barely any offensive fouls have been called at all in the finals this year.

Difference is offensive and defensive fouls, barely any offensive fouls are ever called, Curry put's himself in terrible positions on defense, he actually had 7 fouls (1 was given to livingston which was a blatant hack by Curry). Don't remember see any team attack an opposing team's player like Warriors and Cavs have done in this finals when attacking Curry and Love.

Yeah, why doesn't anyone mention this? He charges and clears out constantly with his off-hand....those are FOULS....convenient of you guys to ignore that

It's actually a more rational position to believe that some or many things are conspiracies than to believe that nothing is a conspiracy.

Go watch Kings/Lakers series start to finish.

They aren't. Thats not what is being said.

No, that's exactly what a lot of people are saying. The title of the thread is "Is the NBA rigged?". You can find numerous example of people saying exactly that in the preceding 10 or so pages.

[airedwin]

Yes, absolutely.
Is the NBA rigged right now? Probably
Has the NBA been rigged in the past? Yes, it has been confirmed by multiple sources.

[airedwin]

No one remembers Tim Donaghy?
"Donaghy pleaded guilty last year to felony charges alleging he took cash payoffs from gamblers and bet on games himself. The 41-year-old ref faces up to 33 months in prison at sentencing on July 14."

If that's what you think, then that's really dense. When rigging is being discussed, no one believes that the players are IN on it and throwing games on purpose, nor is the league somehow able to manifest injuries to players by any magical will power, nor can the league magically make the players miss shots, or make them.

The higher ups of the league want a series to go on longer and the referees are their tools. It amazes me that people still think the league and teams, etc. have nothing to gain from this. It's even more amazing just how much those with blind faith refuse to see.

Influencing a game would involve something along the lines of having Stern march out there in a thong to try to get players to miss their free throws and layups from the pause caused by sheer disgust.

It's even better that those arguing against the clear existence of rigging are the ones bringing up secret societies.

So I guess I'll ask again, why doesn't it happen more often if there's so much to gain?

You know, just because you say something like "clear existence", that doesn't actually make it true.

You didn't understand what I said, read it again.

It doesn't happen more often because it would be so obvious that even the blind faithful would start seeing it, this year is a great Cinderella story.

I'm saying "clear existence" because there is clear existence of rigging as described in the post you quoted, which you also didn't comprehend.

What's next, you going to tell me that dinosaurs didn't build the pyramids?

Ok, you've completely lost me. And I'm not sure if it's because I'm dense.

I accept your acquiescence

[ToppsCollector1]

Adam Silver clearly paid off Stephen Curry to suck horribly and mentally guided Kyrie's shot into the basket. LeBron also got word in his earpiece to miss the 1st free throw to cause even more drama. Rigged as hell, man.

[jj2]

The refs made GSW go scoreless for over four minutes.

Either that or it was lasers.

It would be absurd to think that Silver paid off Curry and/or mentally guided Kyrie's shot into the basket and same goes for that missed free throw. I have never suggested such fantastic things.

You already forfeited. Thanks for playing, it was fun.
