Tim Donaghy Claims Corruption in NBA Finals

[Wizard Mentor]

The next contract has already been signed and it's good for nine years starting next October. That means negotiations for the next, next TV contract won't even start for over 8 years. Do you really think that anyone will remember 8 years from now whether this series went 5 or 6 games, and if they do, do you think it will matter?

BNM

absolutely, future contracts, whenever they are, are about reputation.

Does she think they were rigged last year, too? Funny how the most entitled fans are the quickest to complain when the tide turns.

I don't necessarily think the NBA cares who wins, but I think they want an exciting Finals.

They got A LOT of shit over those Nets/Spurs finals. They're selling a product and they want it to be exciting. I have a hard time believing the validity.

She was pissed about her husband fouling out on a BS call, essentially eliminating any chance of a GS comeback. (That didn't happen last year).

They can sell LBJ, they can also sell Curry. They've got their 7 games, I don't think they care, NOW.

The inability to stop CLE from scoring at will is what cost her husband's team any chance they had at a comeback. They gave up 35 points in the 4th quarter and that had nothing to do with the officiating. Giving up 35 points in a quarter when you start down by 9 isn't exactly the best recipe for a comeback victory - with, or without Steph Curry.

But, I hope that's what the Warriors are focused on - blaming the officials and not looking in the mirror and making the adjustments they'll need to make to win Game 7. For a defending champion that won 73 regular season games, GSW is surprisingly mentally weak. When things don't go their way they implode and start pouting like spoiled little brats. They certainly haven't carried themselves like champions in these playoffs.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen such an entitled team. There's just zero professionalism or workman-like attitude. The Bulls would just go out and beat teams. Business as usual. The Warriors want wins handed to them.

It was a BS call but the 10m he spent reaching before that he could have been called for his last foul on any of those. It really was just a matter of time the way Curry was playing before he fouled out.

Curry's wife just wants his fame. She is a tool.

The way Curry was playing, it was almost like he was daring the refs to call a 6th foul on him, and when they did his reaction was an over the top, you can't do that to me, I'm the motherfucking MVP goddammit!

And, his coach backed him up in his post game comments.

Exactly this. Everyone knows stars NEVER foul out. Just ask Kerr. So of course Curry thought he could do whatever he wanted, with impunity. And when he got called on it his tantrum demonstrated the petulant spoiled self-centered brat he is.

 

[BBert]

I just can't get over that players can now throw objects at fans at games and not be suspended. Mind blowing.

Or maybe that's just MVPs? Or does it apply to all Golden State players? Just Curry and Green? I'm so confused.

Situational officiating. The level of permitted offense is commensurate with league anointed player status.

MVP:
Assaulting fan = slap on the wrist, insignificant monetary fine, but no suspension.
Killing fan = 1 game suspension, to be deferred until after the finals.

Star on Anointed Team (aka: MVP's all star teammate):
Assaulting ref leading to bloodshed = no penalty.
Kicking opponent in the balls = slap on the wrist, insignificant monetary fine, but no suspension.

And so on...
