Could Adam Silver go down as the great rig artist of all time?

[atljonesbro]

I've never seen anything like the 3rd quarter of last nights game. Top quality rigging. Could silver be the best?

[ImKobe]

prime Stern > current Silver

[Trollsmasher]

he is certainly having an all time great rookie season

ROY guaransheed?

[imdaman99]

Why weren't you crying wolf when the Pacers beat the Hawks?

[sd3035]

He has been the MVP of the Heat and Spurs thus far :cheers:

[ArbitraryWater]

Stern was horrible at hiding it.. silver's shit is still obvious, but very efficient

[ArbitraryWater]

:oldlol:

[Kiddlovesnets]

Nah, unless he manages to rig a series as hard as Kings-Lakers 2002.

[CeltsGarlic]

Stern based his career on this, and you claim this rook can take him just like that?

[atljonesbro]

Nah, unless he manages to rig a series as hard as Kings-Lakers 2002.
This series could be just that. He's really making his mark early in his career.

[Kiddlovesnets]

It wont, the Spurs are too good and the Thunder cant win 4 straight even if the series is rigged. The Kings-Lakers series was riggable since the two teams were obviously at the same level. The Kings had HCA, but with refs help it was totally possible for a team as good as the Lakers to overcome. Replace the Lakers by like, say, the Timberwolves, even the refs couldnt have made it.

[SpecialQue]

Yup. Crazy. Even rigging the Clippers to end up in Seattle. :lol

If you didn't watch the game last night, and didn't do anything but read ISH last night and today, you'd think game 3 was some unbelievable, game 6 2002 WCF rigjob. Like there was just a long stretch of terrible call after terrible call and the Spurs never got any sort of benefit of the whistle. That's what ISH has turned into.

Of course there's not some huge uproar about this from outside of ISH, but ISH is where unintelligent, moutbreathing rejects have decided set up camp and push ignorant agendas and repeat their shortsighted, uniformed opinions over and over and over and over.

2012 WCF G6 was worse IMO.

Give me time. I'm just getting started.

:cry: :cry:

Durant is one of my favorite players and I'm not this blind to what happened last night.

[BlkMambaGOAT]

As of now he definitely holds the rigged rookie GM of the year award with all the rigging he's done in the PO's (especially Thunder)

The future is uncertain, but I like his chances:cheers:

[StephHamann]

weak era

2002 was the shit

Please explain how a 22-0 freethrow advantage in one quarter happens without rigging.

Oh, and that Mills three that got waved off was just the icing on the cake. There's no justifying that game. And yes, I watched it.

[Lebronxrings]

this is boring now. Game 7 vs grizz was rigged, vs clips was rigged, but this wasn't. Being 100% real.

Six of the FTs were intentional fouls, so start there. They fouled Adams to avoid easy dunks and/or by applying the "Hack-a-Adams" method. I'm not saying the 15-0 FT disparity is justified, but if you and others actually watch that quarter, and look at the fouls that were being called on the Spurs that resulted in OKC FTs, there might be two calls that were iffy. The Spurs, for the most part that quarter, were shooting 3s and jumpers. I'd have to go back and rewatch the quarter and study their offensive possessions more closely, but I'm guessing there was probably only a couple or three times you might could've argued a Spurs possession could've/should've ended in FTs.

The Mills call was actually correct in theory. That is an offensive foul. The official just f***ed up by not counting the basket which should've counted since he waited to do it after Mills made the shot. I've said multiple times last night and today that I thought that was a bad call and the three points should've counted.

[JellyBean]

:oldlol: at the thought of people thinking the OKC/Spurs game 3 was rigged.

[qrich]

Easily is. People point to one game from 2002, but fail to notice that the Thunder have gotten preferential treatment every series thus far.

The Randolph suspension, no Ibaka suspension for a nut shot, the silver platter during games five and six in the second round, and now this.

Truly pathetic and unfathomable how any one attempts to defend it to no end.

[MC Gusto]

Weren't y'all bitching about the series being rigged for the Spurs at the beginning of the game last night? Now that OKC won a game, it's rigged for OKC again?:biggums:

lol at that shit being an offensive foul. I saw Westbrook do the same thing from the three point line in the Clippers series. He jumped forward from the three point line and created contact with CP3. And surprise, surprise, he goes to the line to shoot 3 free throws.
