    Read somewhere, that it is not illegal for the NBA to fix/rig THEIR league. So what do you think, is it?

    Don't think it's fixed. I definitely think it's incompetent at times.

    the league wants curry to win mvp

    harden is a threat to that, they robbed harden of all-star game mvp( if curry had harden's numbers in the all-star game... they would have given it to him over westbrook)

    harden has been able to beat the refs in games we were supposed to be screwed in... i think we are something like 13-3 in games decided by 5 points or less... yep something like that...


    the nba can not have harden and the rockets get the 2nd or 3rd seed... they need curry to win the mvp

    the league wants to promote a curry vs. lebron finals.. lebron used to watch curry play in the stands when curry was at davidson, i could see the nba and espn/abc running and marketing that

    ----------------------\


    did i get the jist off it

    It's less rigged since Silver took office. Give him credit for that. Refs still make deals under the table. It's been proven. Not a shocker. It's a business.

    Lebron will massacre Curry and the Warriors if that happens. How can that be exciting?

    I think the refs blatantly suck and are told to suck in certain cases.

    Is it rigged.... who can be sure?

    Certain games in history have definitely been fixed.

    Generally it's rare IMO.

    The refs are just terrible.

    Doesn't NBA do profit sharing; that means the owners really don't care who really wins, except for Cuban? Therefore a Lebron&Curry NBA Final is the best from revenue standpoint.
