Which rigged series changed the landscape of the NBA more? WCF'02 or NBA Finals'06?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

If it wasn't rigged and the outcome was reversed, which outcome would change the NBA landscape more? The Heat not winning in 2006 or the Lakers not three-peat?

Does Kobe get traded in 2003?
Does LeBron come to Miami in 2011?

2012 and 2013 rigged finals definitely changed tha NBA for tha worst.

1999 Finals was for the best. We haven't had to watch the Knicks in the Finals since

I thought 2013 was well officiated although I do think Ginobli got fouled in the final seconds of game 6 and should have gotten 2 free throws.

2012 was clearly rigged IMO. The free throw advantage was crazy...

Sad to think the Knicks actually made the finals twice 2 decades ago and none since :cry:

True. That god awful franchise should just be contracted.

2013 finals was more rigged since chris bosh had that "easy" rebound that led to an assist to ray allen in game 6. Yep remember he had that "easy" rebound cuz Duncan was on tha bench.

Knicks will make it back soon tho and tha haters are not going to like that shit at all:lol

[NBAplayoffs2001]

I do remember 2006 finals led to LOADS of Wade fans from my local middle school/ high school. Heck I remember back in like 2005, if you saw a sports jersey it usually was either Wade's Miami jersey or Michael Vick's Atlanta jersey.

Either way, I honestly thought that was a clean series from games 1-6. I remember only seeing parts of game 7, I think up until the middle of the 3rd. Can't say much about this one.

Even I had a wade jersey:oldlol: but that was in 05. 06 finals was horrible, dirk should have 2 rings.

[KingLeBronJames]

When the Warriors lose in the Finals this year, they will say the Finals was rigged cause the Cavs have home court advantage since the NBA changed this year's Finals format. :oldlol:

Game 6 at tha end wasn't rigged or a dumb move made by popovich?:lol

For me it was just a bad no-call by I believe Joey Crawford when Ginobli got hacked in the last 3-4 seconds of the game. They were down a point and up 3-2 in the series.

I actually think Joey Crawford has a weird habit of giving away bad no-calls or making some outrageous calls that shouldn't be fouls.

plus he hates the spurs

Funniest Joey Crawford moment is when he pushes wade and calls the foul on Billups. I remember seeing this on live TV and I nearly spat out my coke :lol.

He had pushed Damon Jones IIRC.

If that happens in a game are the Heat supposed to inbound the ball?

Lol I honestly have no idea what happened in that play.

Can we also get back on topic? I feel we fluctuated so much lol.

2006 was a travesty

2012 was a little funny as well

But 2013 was finely officiated.

Heat earned that one, with a little luck of course

[jzek]

02 paved the way for rigging 06

[rmt]

Nah, 2013 Finals was okay. That's Manu's stupidity when he's tired - he should have pulled up and ran clock.

2006 Finals was JUST payback for the 2006 Mavs vs Spurs - both were atrocious. Pity, cos Spurs would have definitely beaten 2006 Heat.

Exactly, I thought 2013 and 2014 were very well reffed. I hope for the same this year. :applause:

looking forward to the next decade :cheers:

2013 was well officiated apart from game 6 where refs were clearly favoring the Spurs.

136 FTA for Miami and 119 for OKC
In 2013, Spurs 158 FTA and Miami 118 FTA.

Funny how you didn't complain about the crazy ft advantage in 2013 finals.

obviously the laker vs sac series. that game was hideous, was all over the news and espn.

The interesting thing is as a series, the Kings got more free throws. It was a horribly reffed series period but Kings should have won no doubt.

Bibby getting called for a foul when Kobe literally plows through him with his elbow :roll:. And the Kings still could have wont if it wasn't for Peja's airball wide open corner 3 in game 7 overtime.

By far the craziest series of the 2000s IMO.

Here's an Essay on why 2006 wasn't rigged.

There are other factors outside of what's mentioned in there, if you bothered to read it.

[Rose'sACL]

2001 bucks vs sixers
2002 kings vs lakers
2006 heat vs mavs
2007 spurs vs suns
2012 okc vs spurs

Even after all these years, I am amazed of how bad the posting is on this forum.

A true cancer to all internet community

'06 wasn't rigged... it was just a great perimeter player taking advantage of how the game was being called on the perimeter/in the paint.

'02... Now that was some rigged shit. I really liked that Kings team too, really fun to watch. They got hosed.
