All of this win one then lose one by a blowout seems suspicious.

Starting to think that the finals are rigged
- Thread starter ilovejesus
- Start date
the team that loses one game is desperate in the most next game
officiating is still suspicious with some calls though, teams get calls they dont get in the next game from the same plays...of course different referees make different calls but... still....sometimes it seems like a bail out or an attempt to insure a win.
It was bad with the Pacers vs Heat series. I noticed the Pacers got a lot of suspect calls that looked like refs were trying to insure a Pacers win. Calling Bosh and Wade on travels they didnt get calls on in the recent game, felt like refs were over analyzing. Im a casual fan too but that shyt was obvious.

Agree with this. Close games jack up interest since fans can claim that this "one call or play" could have made the difference for their team winning or losing. If you're going to rig it, that'd be the way to go.

Yep, the NBA has been rigged since 2006 when David Stern took the Championship from Mark Cuban for running his mouth. DeFlop has Dirk's ring...

Players are actors. Refs are directors. A great actor can sometimes make up for bad directing but the director usually has the final say.
I think they do want the series to go 7. Just watching last night it seemed weird how the heat seemed to get all the calls/no calls to come storming back. But when they got to close they got calls against them or fouls that weren't called in favor of the spurs.
The nba has been rigged to me eversince I realized the general consensus was that star players get better treatment so they can stay in the game so the network could make more money. Why would anybody think it would stop right there? Of course games are influenced by refs
I believe every word Tim Donague said.

yes, the NBA rigged its most important series to be all blowouts because we know people love blowouts. Also they rigged it so the mighty ratings kings San antonio spurs made it.
yall nikkas calling rigged on every single thing now

I wouldn't say that the finals are rigged...in that case the spurs would never make it with them always being a bad draw...and the spurs would always lose...instead of being undefeated...
One reason that these games have been blowouts is because the refs are just letting them play...usually in an nba game when team 1 gets rolling all of a sudden the refs start calling fouls on them...which sends team 2 to the line...and team 1 has players get in foul trouble so they go to the bench...and bam team 2 is back in it since the flow and momentum has changed due to the calls
Ref's are not doing that this series...the only way to end a run is to play better defense or call a timeout and regroup...you can tell that the spurs are not worrying about calls and don't really expect to get any because miami goes on a little 6 or 8 point run and Pop calls timeout...meanwhile spo leaves his team out there to get gutted on a 14, 16, 19 point run because he is expecting the refs to start calling fouls because well...that is the way the nba works...
Now I find it suspicious that Joey Crawford reffed game 2...and I find it suspicious that the heat are lik 20 - 2 when whoever that guy that refs game 4 refs their game...

I wouldnt say its rigged, but looking at how cold the heat are going it impossible to say. Lebron and the rest missing easy 15 footers has nothing to do with officiating or stern. They gotta make those shots or gracefully bow out.

Some of the calls last night against the Heat were
BUt then if it was rigged, the refs wouldn't have called some of the calls they made last night against the Spurs too. These guys always get away with travel but they called two late against the Spurs.
These refs looked like they were making sure it stayed under in the over/under line
