    NBA are crooks starting with the hidden NBA Lottery. The Kyrie Irving flopping that got Dillon Brooks fouled out is one of the inhumane calls ever. Kyrie flopped like he got hit by a Mack truck. The Jabari Smith clearly inside the line called out of-bounds by a ref no more than 5 yards. Remember NBA has a rules about sitting players, Fat Luka (i want him to do well for other reasons) has been sitting out against inferior teams (Raptors, Pistons, Grizzlies w/o Morant). And where are the punishments for the Mavs, I guess Mark Cuban is no longer contributing to NBA banks. NBA needs a revolution.

    Can't take NBA serious everything is synthetic, fake, lifeless like it's pro wrestling. They don't let defenders to defend they are like kids playing trees in school plays. They are just decorations. They can't even contest a shot anymore because the smallest bump is called foul. Everything is designed for a few offensive players. European federations rest refs a year over egreggious mistakes even end their careers because it's real. NBA is nothing but a show.

    How can you fight a system that is setup for the superstars to win. Just like we can’t do **** about our government screwing us over time and time again. The league knows who sells tickets, who makes them money. This is a business and the league does not want small market teams to win. They loose if that happens. Period.

    The NBA is trying to force Lebron into the playoffs and it's disgusting. Lebron hasn't been the guy in the last 10 years but they're promoting him like he still is. Its more about Lebron than the Lakers

    Jaylen Brown in his 7th year in the NBA got his first ejection. Afterwards, he said 'if I knew I was going to get ejected, I would have gotten my money's worth."

    Last night, Rajaković got his money's worth.

    I didn't see the game, I have no idea who he is or who he's talking about, but I still know he's 100% correct. He should not be fined. He should be named the new commissioner of the NBA.

    It's out of control this year. Everyone needs to come out and back this coach.

    We’ve all known for years that the NBA is edited for your entertainment. And by your entertainment, I mean a global audience weighted heavily towards China.

    The NBA consistently called Rockets games vs Warrior in favor of Warriors. Morey even hired an independent 3rd party firm that verified that was correct. What did the NBA do? Just unleashed their Media hounds to ridicule Morey, about it’s just the way it is and he should stop crying and look over how many zeros his paycheck had. Wink wink, don’t kill the golden goose. After that even Harden got the message and he stopped complaining and even caring. It was proven that the NBA is a league of money and scripted series.

    This happened in game 7 of the 2010 finals too. Lakers had 24 ft on the 4th if i'm not misremembering and so many of them where BS calls.

    Btw cannot wait for the day a team actually decides to walk off the court and just "forfeit". That's what it takes for this to change, these rants while nice won't do a damn thing. Just take the actual step then, if you TRULY believe it's rigged - which I do - and it's happening right in front of your eyes like this, just take a stance. Refuse to play on. That will make the world notice, embarrass the league and might do something.
