    So again, why aren't the Knicks in the playoffs?

    Use your own argument to answer that question. LOL. The NBA can fix a game in the playoffs but can't in an 82 game season?

    Man, you're on ignore. Talking with a brick wall is not a good thing.

    That's why he's a bench player.

    Yeah, they deserve credit for hitting the FT's just about every time they missed a shot. If you thought this game was called straight then that's fine, after all, ignorance is bliss. Enjoy it.

    That bench player kept them in the game the first half.

    Good bench players can do that from time to time. Ever heard of Jamal Crawford? Ray Allen? JR Smith?

    NBA is rigged and has been rigged far before this post season. Houston Rockets fans should know. We've been ****ed by the refs in two series the past ten years.

    Not a good sign when they waste a good game by Ginobody like this. He's going to have some poor games too

    I think Ibaka's presence totally changed how the Spurs attacked. They weren't decisive in their drives, and bringing that weaksauce ain't going to cut it in the playoffs.

    If Ibaka and OKC can keep this up, it's a different series. Plus Durant hasn't had his signature game yet, which is very surprising.

    But the Spurs are too good offensively, so all they need to do is steal 1 in OKC.

    Why didn't Lakers/Celts get the #1 pick? Or top 3?

    I personally think that FT discrepancy wasnt much of a big deal...infact, I just felt they attacked the rim more efficiently. San Antonio resorted to a lot of jump shots in the 2nd. That however was a direct result of the impact Ibaka had on this game. Great game by Ibaka, and hoping that he is able to still play this effectively in game 4. That being said, Parker Duncan, Splitter and Kawhi had a really bad night shooting the rock. If it werent for Ginobli, this couldve been a 30 point beat down. Looking forward to game 4.

    Sacramento 2002. Cleveland #1 pick odds were less than 1%. Rockets 2005. Donaghy scandal. Heat 2006. Cleveland #1 pick when it was LeBron up for draft. Why doesn't the NBA make the lottery public? Why is verticality only called for some players and not others? Superstar calls. Yao Ming screwed by refs. Dwight screwed by refs. Jeremy Lin getting some superstar calls during Linsanity era.

    You can name examples. I can name examples. The NBA isn't the WWE. But it does happen from time to time.

    Wish there was a way to strip the refs of their power instead of letting them influence games so easily.

    Still bitter about how the Rockets season turned out.

    Then turn off your TV and watch hockey. Pretty simple.

    If you feel something isn't right and still watching it, that's dumb on your part.
