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

Last years' game 6 ECF

Miami vs BOS

Boston was up series 3-2. In the game there were majorly favorable calls (fouls, freethrows, ball favor) for Miami to win.

 

Game 7 Lakers vs Celtics 2010

Lakers got a **** ton of free throws in the 4th quarter. Also, when they were up by 4 Pau Gasol jumped up and down but didn't get called for the turnover.

 

lolwut. The Spurs shot 28 free throws to 21 for the Heat. The Heat were called for 26 fouls vs 21 on the Spurs. I hope you're not talking about the 'foul' on Ginobli after he took about 14 steps and carried the ball like a running back thru the hole, or the Bosh clean block on the 3. Don't let the hate blind you, breh.

 

lololololololol not sure if serious. I will at least give it to you for being original. Never heard anyone question the refs in a 19 pt blowout. 22 ft's for Miami, 20 for Boston. 21 fouls called against Miami, 19 against Boston. If you want to blame someone, blame LeBron for murdering the entire city of Boston that night. FOH.

 

Rare time when there is a right answer. And the right answer is Kings - Lakers 2002.

 

The Finals: Miami vs. OKC and Miami vs. San Antonio.

 

I actually feel like San Antonio got more of the calls IMO

 

This. As soon as I read the title, without any thought this game came to mind. No other game I have ever watched was this poorly officiated. Even as a Houston fan, the 90's Rockets vs Supersonic series can't compare to this.

The most integrity the game has had recently was when the officials were on strike.

 

I'll add a vote to this one. I think it was game 6. Michael Finley straight up out of bounds. Rules for how to set a pick suddenly changed. That was pretty bad.


Kings/Lakers is also a great vote. Spurs debacle with Phoenix was crap too, but I mean Robert Horry getting their best player kicked out was bunk. Should have saved the penalties for the next round.

 

Game 6 or 7? I get confused.

 

Yup. Miami was getting screwed all game by calls and then won by the miracle. It could have been one of the worst officiated games, but the screwed got down and dirty and won.

Game 6 was the LeBron game in Boston where the Heat led by double digits pretty much the entire game. Game 7 was a tight game in Miami until the Heat pulled away in the 4th. Never heard anyone complain about officiating in either game so not sure what you are referring to.

 

The officiating was bad for both sides so there really can't be any complaints for that game.

 

I wish there was some transparency with the referees and how things are handled internally. As fans I feel we deserve that. Especially when we watch just terrible officiating an you question whether or not the fix was on.

 

I was going nuts during that play, I thought there was no way that refs missed it, turns out that series was rigged. Left a young Rockets fan scarred and my hatred for Dallas grew from then on.

I remember talking to a friend who denied the Game 6 Kings/Lakers was NOT rigged. Of course he was all "your just a hater" and "look at the boxscore" and I gave him videos to watch and up to now I still think he hasn't watch the entire game like I told him to. It truly amazed me that he could look me in the eye and say with a straight face that Game 6 Sac/L.A was not rigged. I almost turned into Stephen A. Smith at that point.

 

They called a lot of bogus fouls on Yao that series to keep him off the the court.

 

There is. Donaghy.
