    When Thunder went up 3-1 I was congratulating Silver for letting the players play. "Sort of Swear" is a very poor choice of words.

    Heh, people really think he's saying "sort of" because he doesn't want to fully swear on a lie? He's not hedging, he's just speaking casually. If a friend says, "I didn't mean to kill your mother, I can only sort of, you know, apologize," he doesn't mean he's only half-apologizing...he's acknowledging that that's not really sufficient. Similarly, Silver knows no one who believes conspiracy theories is going to be convinced by him swearing it's all legit.

    Try thinking of human speech as human speech and not a legal contract and it becomes a lot easier to understand what people are saying. Or, you know, sort of believe that it's all a big conspiracy.

    Then Green didn't get suspended because? How about all those illegal screens teams have been complaining about? Tell me again how there is so bias Silver.

    This.

    If you TRULY believe there's a conspiracy, then it only speaks to how foolish and idiotic you are to still be tuning in.

    I don't believe there is a conspiracy...but hypothetically speaking, if there was one this is exactly what you would say to deny it.

    In short, this assurance from the commissioner is ultimately meaningless.

    Yup. Silver changed the ref rotation cause Foster doesn't bow down to the warriors

    Zeke has secretly wired the apartment building with hidden cameras and he has been watching the lives of each tenant. Sliver.

    All this tells me is that Adam Silver is confident that gsw got this. Convenient timing all I have to say.

    Thankfully the Warriors went on to lose the game Draymond would have been suspended so it's irrelevant now. League is rigged no doubt.

    He looks like a WW2 era Nazi death squad officer straight up. The Glasses and evil grin.

    There might be no grand conspiracy, but you cannot tell me that Draymond is not officiating differently.
