    What a shame that Stern still deny what Donaghy said. Stern should be fined 1 million.

    Stern and his smug face can stick it in a toilet. BUT if you think we got screwed, take a good look at the 02' series and you will surely feel even more sorry for the Kings.
    05' I am pretty sure Rox could have beat Suns and give spurs a run. Stern needs to go.

    JVG is in a tough situation because he wants to coach again in the league. He has to watch what he says or the NBA will lock him out.

    JVG knows they cheated the Rockets in 2005 and the Kings back in 2002.

    This has been going on for years, its all about TV money IMO.

    Yeah i have no respect for Stern NBA cares... yeah about making the most profit they can make ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Lakers trade to get Gasol and how Boston got better through trades was all setup the way the whole playoffs went this year was business first and basketball second. Let the Most profitbale team oh I mean best team win!

    one of 2 things is happening:

    A) Stern is a either really dumb and thinks controversial issues like "influencing basketball games" doesn't go on in the NBA on a regular basis.

    B) He's a big shark and knows whats going on but plays Hitler of the NBA and tries to brain was everyone.

    Frankly, he's done a pretty good job of playing the B scenario. He knows whats going on, and instead of reprimanding his officials he fines players and coaches for speaking the truth. Look at R. Wallace, that series should have lasted longer.

    I have a lot of friends that gamble and they've been telling me for years that the NBA was rigged. They said not every game was, but 1/4 games probably was. I thought they were crazys, but over the past 2-3 years I am starting to agree with my friends.

    Look at the miami and dallas series. Even though nothing delights me more then to see Dallas lose, I still can't help but to feel sorry for them b/c they got robbed that series w/ all those phantom calls on D. Wade.

    I think this is why I can't stand watching the NBA anymore unless it's the rockets playing. I've been so discouraged to watch the nba of late. I only caught 1 game since the rockets have gone fishing.

    They should replay the series and the rest of the 2005 NBA playoffs.

    I have for years said this with my friends the game is fixed, ask yourself who can ultimately control the outcome of a game? The referies! There is so much money riding on these games. This year is so much has been put into the advertising of a Nostalgic Boston vs LA rematch rivalry. I hate the no calls at one end of the court for a blatin obvious foul and then the touch foul on the other end is called. I hate the way the NBA game is called, vets always get the calls and the rooks get nothing. The bigger the name the more calls you get and now with the flopping it just gets worse. Maybe this coming to the fore front may change things but I doubt it the. Fatboy is making to much money!

    Frankly, I've been having a hard time with re-upping season tickets to watch 80 fixed games that mean nothing leading to potentially 4 rounds of fixed playoff games.

    It's worse than pro wrestling, where the players and audience are in on the joke.
