What a load of shit this thread was. Another conspiracy theory down the toilet. Of course, nobody's going to remember this dumb ass prediction 3 months from now, wheras had the cavs come back, he'd be gloating how right he was. I hate stupid zero-accountability shit like this.

[Tahoe]

Couldn't find the aks Kstat thread so who do you think wins between the Lakers and OMag.

I think its Lakers in 6, maybe 5.

So is gus looking for a second job by now?

[Pharaoh]

Gus will disappear for a while before returning like this never happened.

At least I have the balls to mention the Orlando thread every now and then.

One simply can't be right about everything.

Being right about everything else should be enough to please the masses

[Kstat]

my problem is when people come way out of left field with conspiracy bullshit like this.

Shit like this, you better be %100 right, or you're an asshole.

[Pharaoh]

Well, the NBA is fixed, if you consider that refs give superstar calls all game long.

Those added extra points certainly make a difference to the game and at times the foul call can swing the entire quarter.

The league doesn't acknowledge that the refs give superstar calls and while I wouldn't say the game is "rigged" certain teams do benefit more than others.

Until the league gets back to calling the game evenly for all players people are gonna bitch.

hey listen Kstat, i stand corrected. You can tell me what a fuckface I am but I will be the first to admit when I am wrong. My only defense is that the NBA let Orlando win because they were worried about everyone thinking the NBA was fixed and what better defense then letting the Magic win. So dont you go puttin me up on the chopping block because I am a realsit and I see things from all angles. And you know what, I do think the NBA had to save face and let orlando win so you take your cockyness and you go right back to were you came from you Men in Black monster. Talkin shit to me like I am coming out of left field, workin my ass up over this bullshit. You want dwight as a poster child, well now you have him you Loy Vaught look alike son of a bitch. Yeah you are much like that of Loy vaught, how does that make you feel tough guy. You just wait til kobe smashes Dwight. and I am real happy you got me worked up because I just calmed down looking at rachel nichols. I would bang that Strawberry Blonde whore. Giggity giggity guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee

The league doesn't acknowledge that the refs give superstar calls and while I wouldn't say the game is "rigged" certain teams do benefit more than others.

But it is widely known, and accepted, that superstars get calls that other players wont. For no reason other than their reputation.

[Pharaoh]

I and many others don't care that it's widely known and accepted.

Just because it's widely known and accepted doesn't make it right.

A foul is a foul regardless of the reputation of the dude committing said foul.

I understand that in a 50/50 situation 9 times out of 10 the superstar will get the call because the refs are using their judgement to decide what to do. That's fine with me. I understand it.

What ain't fine is the bullshit calls the refs make to bail superstars out. Many have been discussed but the Lebron v Mickael Pietrus call is not and never has been a 50-50 call. They bailed out Lebron because he's Lebron.

I vividly remember a game I saw a while back where the refs let 3 consecutive hacks go as "regular" players attempted to drive the lane. On the 4th trip down the floor a "star" player drove to the hoop out of control and was giving the call.

I was screaming at the TV. It's total bullshit and ruins the game IMO, especially when you have blatant crap calls in every game.

When you've got owners, coaches and players all asking for clarity or "transparency" you've got a problem.

Refs should be seen and not fucking noticed. Call it down the middle for all and go home. Ain't no one paying to see your no athletic-ability having ass.
