If your reading the news feeds about this scandal, reports are coming in from all around the league about Donaghy officiating games with controversial calls. As people video review these games we might see some real tampering going on...
There no way I can watch that video, I remember watching that video soon after '05 season was over and I was ready to break my monitor... I can't afford to break this monitor!
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=250502006 http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=250502006 Refs were Bennett Salvatore (convicted of airline fraud) , Joe Derosa (no longer in league), Tony Brothers (no longer in league) I bet this game haunts JVG's dreams, if we had won this one, we would have won the next and gone to the second round.
It is a bit curious that McGrady sat out only that one game, playing the one before it and the one after. Maybe he's got mob connections too. Also, there were hardly many fouls called in that game, something like 25 between both teams.
What I don't like about the story is there is a pic of him & TMac: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/nba/07/20/bc.bkn.bettingprobe.ap/index.html Cheating Refs Make Baby TMac Cry
I knew this would come up in the GARM eventually. The answer is no. I don't really see a reason to start suggesting otherwise. Other than to start rumors and doubt.
Please, please just leave this alone, we aren't Suns fans who b**** about every damn call. Look, he may have added issues to games, but ultimately he was in a point shaving scheme, that means the winner of the game probably would have won anyways. He didn't pick the winners, he only picked how much they would win by. As it is, whatever happened, it's not worth discussing. I move that this thread should be locked. Plus, it's all moot now anywho. Don't be that guy, don't be that guy.
yeah, f..kin Dallas cheated that series.. Rockets would beat them if they win that game.. Totally BS.. I hate Dallas Mav
