The RIGGED NBA finally has what they want.

[Ojb81]

I get the East is weak, but really? LeBron has been to the Finals for how many straight years now? I also get the GS Warriors are stacked, loaded with all-star talent, with that comes the big name players. But what fun is a sport when it becomes so predictable?

For 4 years now we have all known back in October that it was going to be Warriors/Cavs. Sports, like March Madness, College football, NFL, baseball is unpredictable, even the stacked teams don't win it all, all the time or even make it to the title game all the time. In the NBA it is quiet the coincidence that your biggest named player and the team with the biggest names are ALWAYS in the Finals together. It just becomes interesting because the series against other teams goes to 5-6-7 games now instead of these sweeps we used to see. but in the end, it's the same outcome.

Until the NBA shocks me with someone actually stepping up and knocking off LeBron's team in the East and the Warriors actually get eliminated prior to the Finals, I just find it too coincidental these two are always in the Finals.

Think of ratings and marketing for an injured Celtics team with a bunch of no name young players vs Rockets. That does not appeal to the casual fan.

you're a fucking idiot. how many years did the Warriors royally suck dog dicks before they became good? about 3 decades or so, maybe more? you act like the warriors are the lakers or some team of NBA royalty and it's a given that they'd be bestowed with the honor of making an NBA finals. let me clue you in, genius, the NBA has always had repetitive teams who make it to, or near, the championship round, when they have a championship-level core of players to get them there. how many finals did jerry west, bill russell, jordan, james, etc play in, again? look at the celtics of the 60's. the bulls of the 90's. the laker's of the 80's, etc etc etc. pro basketball has always been geared to be this way. so take your "waaaah! there's not enough variety in NBA finals participants and it makes my diaper wet!" bitching and shove it up your stupid ass. God I can't stand dumbasses like you, are you really this brainless??

but why do we watch it? Heck I still watch the WWE from time to time, you watch because you wait for the day they shock you and eliminate LeBron prior to the Finals.

Now I watch because I hope they don't have LeBron win a title. Granted, if they really want to put him on the GOAT status this would be the year to have him win it. Single handily carry his team to the championships over dynasty Warriors would be quiet the story to tell for decades to come.

 

[msgkings322]

I've been saying GS/Cavs all season long, probably dating back to last June.

I posted somewhere here that both WCF/ECF series would go to game 7's, GS and Cleveland would win and the series conference final series will be seen as ho-hum, lets move on to Part IV.

How is 7 game conference finals series 'ho hum'?

I know the Warriors used to suck. But now they have names of Curry, Thompson, Green and Kevin Durant. Once those names started growing on their roster along with their brand name of the last 5 years, they get to the finals.

Because in the end LeBron James goes to the Finals. In the end it'll be the Warriors again going to the finals. Once again giving us Warriors/Cavs. great we had some fun this post season with question of Warriors were going to lose to the Rockets or Cavs losing to Pacers or Celtics, but in the end it's the same outcome.

Also was the Cavs/Celtics series really that thrilling? Besides 1 game that series was a blow out. The Warriors/Rockets have only had one good game.

For many fans there's more to watch than just to see who wins. You can always just look in the paper the next day if that's all you care about. Some like to watch the game itself be played at the highest level bu some of the greatest players ever. But you do you.

There's more to enjoy watching NBA basketball than finding out who wins.

I don't care if Westbrook gets his 70th triple double but ends up losing. Its about who wins and loses. I don't walk away from a game and go "Wow that was some awesome offense, I loved that they threw in that box and one defense to throw LeBron off his game." Yet lose the game and series.

"how come roger federer always wins grand slams?? and rafael nadal?? and how come, back in his day, pete sampras always won grand slams?? and, and serena williams?? how was tiger woods always winning golf majors for over a decade?? and, and Jack Nicklaus, what was up with THAT guy??! No WAY are they good enough to dominate the field, HAS to be rigged, it HAS to be! because...because...b-because 'mafia', 'n stuff.... but they won't fool me, i can see the writing on the wall!

"once those names started growing on their roster"? what the fuck does that even mean? oh, because steph curry's father was dell curry, he was destined to be one of the great ones?? lmao, yeah, dell curry, what a legendary baller he was

 

[MikeMed]

Well talk about acting, look at how Harden draws fouls.....

This goes back to Stern's regime and has carried over to Silver. Much like Vince McMahon runs the WWE, Silver runs the NBA. It ain't hard to slightly tilt a game having refs getting teams in foul trouble early, getting one player in foul trouble early, calling fouls to halt momentum. Or we see on replay how ridiculous some of these acting jobs Harden does on 3 pointers, they call the fouls and Harden is at the line shooting 3 free shots, that's an easy 3 points.

So you are one of those guys who thinks the NBA/NFL is fake and the WWE is real.......Makes perfect sense then.

NBA has rigged stuff before.

If anyone can show me another 3 second violation with 20 seconds left on the shot-clock I'll send you $10.

So why watch at all? The scores are posted online after every game, just see who won.

How can anyone watch a video of an ex referee saying the game is rigged because he and others were rigging them and still rigging games and then you say it ain't so???

Do you believe we actually landed on the moon too??
