    Not always, just sometimes. It's been that way for a LONG time.

    So why aren't the Lakers/Knicks in the playoffs?

    Because that's what the NBA wants.

    I can't stand how rigged the NBA is. Refs jobbed the Clippers. Jobbed the Rockets. Now they are trying to job the Spurs.

    **** this rigged ass league. It should be us in the conference finals.

    There's no talent on either of those two teams though. Also, like I said, it's not always rigged, just sometimes.....like tonight.

    Yeah they were rigging games left and right when the Lakers almost missed the post season two years ago.

    Chalk this up as a bad game overall for the Spurs...they had a ton of 1st half Turnovers and poor movement on rotations. And the Thunder have played great defense at the rim. The Thunder really havent let the Spurs get in a rhythm inside the paint. Whatever the case, a machine will learn and get better. Its why I expect the Spurs to learn from tonight and come back stronger in game 4. I expect the series to be tied, but I fully expect the Spurs to win in 6.

    Ibaka makes OKC a TOTALLY different team. No doubt this series would be different if he played first two games. Spurs are a great team, but they have had quit a bit of luck over the last couple of years with injuries to OKC. If OKC can even this series up, I can see them going ahead and winning this series.

    Really? The logic of some fans just baffles me.

    Game 1 between the Pacers v. Heat had this kind of FT discrepancy. Was that rigged?

    I watched the whole game. Some calls fell to OKC, but no way it decided the game. OKC is just better tonight. Simple.

    What is the record for most lopsided free throw parity in a game?

    I do like that Pop is the kind of coach that will pull his starters really early when he realizes the fix is in, there's no reason to keep them out there when the refs aren't letting them back in the game no matter what happens. Might as well get them some rest.

    What are you babbling about. If you can't see that OKC is just flat outplayin the Spurs tonight then you just don't have a very good basketball IQ

    So why didnt they rig for the Knicks to get in? They just needed 1-2 games. Pretty simple to rig 1-2 games in an 82 game season no?

    One team had a 22 FT advantage in a quarter? If so, then yes.
