    I wonder if Tillman would consider it if we lose this series. With all the seeming data that the refs are vasty favoring the Warriors even to the point thats they're rumors its coming from Silver himself. You think Tillman should pull a Brady and sue the NBA for collusion? I kinda wish it would be put out there as a possibility.

    I have yet to hear of Tilman saying a word. If he did, I missed it. I wouldn’t expect anything like that to happen. It would be nice, however, for our owner to speak out and defend his own team. Don’t hold your breath.

    This is Daryl's arena. The time for the owner will come later but for now he needs not to make any public statements until Bob Myers GM and the Warriors owner start talking publicly.

    People who profit from gambling are not going to make themselves enemies of Adam Silver.

    I think that why fans are starting to sue more. I remember after the NO/MIN fix a few Fans of the Saints sued the NFL...honestly think we could all chip in and find representation. File the suit under 'clutchfans on behalf of the Integrity of the NBA......I'm willing to pitch in a $100 or 2 if this is serious and other member are committed and a pot is set up. Silver looks evil, I bet he's a real foul person behind closed doors.

    All the Rockets fans from China should boycott the NBA. It should be more efficient.

    Why would Tillman sue himself? He's one of the 30 major shareholders of the NBA.

    This is too far. Bad refs are a part of sports. We get calls all the time. The league is not cheating us.

    What is a person missing from their life that they'd sue because their favorite sports team lost a game or a series? What does that person lose? Happiness isn't guaranteed, especially in sports. Did that suck for the Saints and their fans? HELL YES! Do their fans have legal standing because of it? No.

    This is the type of **** we get when the players, coach and gm make excuses for a team that plays flat out brain dead at times. Take better shots and shoot the ball with the intention of making the shot instead of drawing contact. Sue the league? Smh

    It's like people forget Tilman owns casinos and is deep in that world.

    Forget suing the NBA. We should just have one of our bench warmers go out there and break Steph/Klay's ankles intentionally. Hell we play no more than a 8 man rotation anyway, no need for those guys. Any fines should be paid by Tillman under the table.

    Ask New Orleans Saints fans how well that worked out for them.

    Well actually yes......there's one thing you're missing that's actually very intrical. People probably loss alot of scratch last year (and depending on the spread you got) in game 1 and apparently we all know why.....This seems like this is on a worser level then Tim Daughty - at least he would look away- and if you think about it for a sec....there's 100k+ ppl on clutchfans on any given day, how many of those probably lost out (rather big or small) on some nice scratch? And yes it does effect my happiness not because my life sucks, on the contray, (I have a good life.....atleast I think so) but its because of the wasted time and effort That Harden, Paul, and everybody else put in the bring a championship to Houston....a championship they worked hard to earn, and one we deserve to enjoy and talk about. And of course Harden, Paul, Tillman, or Morey wouldn't suggest that, but thats where we can come in...they couldn't get punished but I bet they would support it in secret...and I honestly feel we need to attempt to be heard on a wider scale....I bet the Saints make it to the Super Bowl next year
