    Mauer is a douche and an obnoxious POS.

    But I don't think he's particularly biased, at least not going into the game.

    Its crazy that we have a thread discussing who the refs are …. Like they are actually more important than who the Rockets are playing.

    I really cant believe the league has allowed this to happen …. but its fairly obvious that they are complicit.

    & its not just the NBA …. look at how the Aint's got robbed in the playoffs last season … and baseball has been questionable since … as long as I can remember and that's some 5 decades.


    I am to the point of turning the entirety of professional sports OFF.

    the refs are complicit, sometimes. I do believe the NBA has an interest in the outcome of each playoff series, but I don't believe they attempt to fix every game like "the bucks need to lose the first then win the next 4." I think they determine who they would prefer to win, then see what happens and if no "help" is needed they leave it. I think in our series they spotted the warriors a game (game 1) just because they knew we would've beat them if they didn't "help" last year. after game 1 I think they let the series play out thinking that was enough support for the warriors to pull it out.

    what worries me is if they call a fair game tonight, and we win, will they bring back foster/brothers for games 6/7? or will they get mauer to slant the game for the warriors in a pivotal game 5?

    I feel like it’s the best interest of the NBA to have the Rockets vs Bucks in the finals

    MVP candidates battle it out

    Tv ratings last year were down 3 million, no one wants to watch the Warriors anymore

    I can get behind that logic, but they definitely fixed game 1 for the warriors!

    I think they still want the warriors to advance. at least to the conference finals.

    but yes harden/giannis finals would be fire! not guaranteed that we'd win either.
