I think your beef may be better directed at the owners of some of these clubs. Thats who i'm pissed at. A lot of them are putting together teams with no chance of winning but they keep under the cap and tell their fans they have a plan...Their eyes are on the dollars.

Look at Houston. They will never win with Ming. He plays 20 good minutes and 10 exhausted minutes every game. They did better without him and T-mac is wasted.

Why keep him?

Coz your selling a billion Ming jerseys in china.

Memphis too, they cut away Gasol for cookies coz they couldn't market him, and now play Gay and Mayo who you bet they can get people to watch. They will never win though.

Owners mate- their the ones fans should be dark at. Just look at the sonics debarcle.

the singlet presentation was held last night at the festival center for the lightning and sixers. it was a glam affair seemed that it was run by the new PR mob. Fairly tightly run apart from Dave Flannagan the comedian who went free range for about half an hour and had people laughing most of the time. sixers named their 10th man-Jason as predicted in media and named Hambour and Gower as 11/12. Good food, stylish venue and maybe close to 250 present. They did lose the remote for the sound for a while and couldn't find a knob to manually turn it down but apart from that everything went well. Willie spoke and looked and sounded enthusiastic.
hambour arguably had the best moves as the guys tried to outperform the sixers girls who were on stage welcoming them.

Dude its no good just saying "it was set up"

Miami one coz the mavs couldn't keep infront of D-wade. He got a ton o calls but watch the guy play, he heads straight for contact, doesn't budge an inch and gets hammered. Dallas had no D inside.

Lakers Celts wasn't set up. They earned their spots and its not cool to smear them.

Cleveland was a top defensive squad with a player who could get hot and win a game off his back. No set up there, did they set up the eventual sweep of their new superstar too? Too the boring spurs no less!!
So much for making heros of players.

Chicago or the knicks? Stern would of picked the Knicks not chicago. Draft ain't rigged dude.

Gasol and KG were moved from their teams for the same reasons, they didn't get it done so both teams looked to move on. Memphis just wanted stars to market hence the new Gay Mayo era, and wolves are collecting talent.

None of your set ups are actual set ups man. Remove your emotion and you will see it clear.

I'm just saying- basketball is a tough game to ref.

If the NBA is so rigged and influenced by a stern hand, then why are we still going on about this one game? Why aren't there a glut of games that show favouritism?

I'm just not totally convinced.

I know its an ESPN article but the fact remains it present a good arguement that perhaps the game wasn't rigged, just poorley ref'ed.
