What's the most rigged NBA game you have ever seen?

Game 6 from the Kings/Lakers series has to be the top pick. Sometimes I think the media acknowledges how shady that game was just make fans think that no other games had lopsided officiating. I hate when guys like Mike Greenburg and Ryen Russillo ridicule anyone who questions NBA officiating because it would be too obvious if every game was officiated like game 6 of the Lakers/Kings series.

Games 5 and 6 from the 2008 series between the Lakers and Jazz was lopsided in favor of the Lakers. Although the Lakers got calls in their favor throughout the entire series, the refs were obviously making constant calls and no calls favoring the Lakers in the 4th quarters when the games were close.

Game 7 from 2010 between the Lakers and Celtics. I have no issue with the Lakers shooting twice as many free throws. My issue was them shooting 21 free throws in the 4th quarter based on at least 12 lopsided calls. In the 4th quarter, as soon as a foul was called on Glen Davis in favor of Pau Gasol, I started thinking of past games when the Lakers would get so many calls while most fans and the media act oblivious to it. Honestly, that's the only time I looked up who would be officiating before the game started. I had a bad feeling as soon as I saw that Danny Crawford and Joey Crawford were calling this game.

Games 5 and 6 from the series between Dallas and Miami. Driving to the basket to get calls is just something typical to say, even when those same players get most calls on the perimeter. Going inside doesn't always mean it's an automatic foul. I don't think Jerry Stackhouse deserved to be suspended. The saddest thing about the officiating was that the media is so biased against the Mavericks that nobody was going to point out how unfair it was.

The entire series between Phoenix and San Antonio in 2007. One of the first 2 games of that series was funny to me because Phoenix won despite how physical San Antonio was. Game 3 is proof that a team doesn't have to be in a large market to get calls. I've always hated that argument because people use typical statements instead of referring to stuff from the games. That's why some people disagreed with Amare and Boris being suspended, not because they preferred to watch the Suns, it's because San Antonio got away with stuff throughout the entire series.

 

Why is everyone surprise... If you know in the NBA history in the playoffs team gets 90% of the calls that is why homecourt is so important.

 

I'm guessing you didn't check out the you tube video posted on the previous page of the Rockets-Jazz series.

 

That Kings/Lakers game was pretty bad

 

The worst in my opinion was the Kings/Lakers.
Also the Jazz/Rockets with the clock officiating was terrible. Not surprising though at all. Cheating is in the Jazz's blood.

 

No one is surprised and we all know for a fact that NBA games have been rigged in the past. If you doubt it do a google search on Tim Donaghy.

The question is simple, what is the most rigged game you've ever seen. No surprises since the rigged games have already happened. Some have been so blatant that they were easy to identify.

 

There were a huge number of very bad 4th quarter calls in that game, including one in which Nowitzki would have fouled out. The moving screen calls on Yao were also ridiculous. He was getting foul calls even when there was practically zero contact, and he got like 4 of those!

But I don't think the NBA was biased against the Rockets. Rather, they were biased in favor of extending series, which is worth a lot of $. The NBA also favors superstars (more fouls called for them, fewer calls fouled against them). This is also good for $. Favoring the big market teams is also good for $.
