    Sure those scandals happened. Please point out the one the league actively participated in.

    We’re all going down a very slippery slope with this topic. Almost to the point where one could wonder what one is doing on sports site

    This is why we have a terrible fan base. If they don't get the finals you aren't going to watch anymore?

    I have pretty much been watching for the past 25+ years . Sometimes they are good sometimes they are bad, but I am still going to watch.

    I find it absolutely hilarious how RocketsTruth's rigged finals prediction numerology was completely wrong yet everyone here still came out of that WCF with the knowledge that the NBA is a rigged league, with championships doled out by jersey sales, not talent and performance.

    So...since the league is so scandalous and underhanded and cheats and is rigged, why do you bother watching?

    Classic Seinfeld

    Alba is a doll and she'll fill in nicely as she ages without losing leanness (presumably). The old saying goes, "marry them thin and they'll fill out nicely". Not that there's anything wrong with full figured women. I love that look too ;)

    Bc when I'm not watching Baseball, Football, or World Cup, I still want to watch sports. Golf is only one tournament a weekend during season, and UEFA Champions League is the only soccer non-World cup that interests me for the most part.

    I love the Rockets. I simply just hate the NBA. I hate David Stern. And I think Adam Silver is a greedy mofo and a genius, but in 25 years if we find out he takes handouts from Steve Wynn, Kirk Kerkorian, or Sheldon Adelson I won't be surprised. So that's why.

    I’ve been watching the Rockets for 40 years, since I was 8 years old, Malone, Reid, Lucas, Rudy T first memories I have and I think we can all agree we’ve had some unfortunate breaks/luck through the years BUT last year was hard to stomach.

    The non-calls in game 7 were so obvious that Weber was aghast, the Harden 4pt reversal, Gordon getting hacked over and over yet GS were still getting all the ticky-tack calls inside combined with hitting their shots BUT I still have a hard time saying it’s rigged but the NBA certainly didn’t help their reputation any.

    I would’ve much preferred to have lost that game 7 that was evenly called, back and forth, ya know like game 5 of the WS last year....

    I stand by my argument that if the Warriors WERE in fact good enough, why did they need the refs to help them??

    A lead official being sent to prison after being investigated by the FBI for fixing games hurt exactly 0% of the NBA.

    They swept that under the rug and got away with that without a blip.

    Do y'all believe corruption was completely wiped out from behind the NBA curtain when one ref went to prison?

    No, we didn't.

    You'd think Houston fans of all people would know that is just what the narrative was, and not what actually played out on the court.

    just face it, ever since that 73 win team added KD, they became unbeatable. Now to make things worse, they go and added Cousins on a min contract
