The analogy I made is very clear to anyone with half a brain. Obviously, that doesn't include you.
I'm not the one who's in over his head. Leave mommy's computer alone before you get a spanking for reading big words on the screen.

Government<<<nba.. At least nba has to have some respect for their customers.
[QUOTE=poido123]So people who suspect the game is corrupt(proof of this)should just shutup and and ignore the game that they love?
I don't see what you expect me to do.[/QUOTE]
you are not suspecting at all. You are sure of it. Anyone can read your posts here and can clearly see that you are sure it is fixed. Watching something when you are sure that it is fixed is a pretty idiotic thing to do.
I don't watch WWE. If i bitched about WWE being fixed while watching it whenever it is aired then people would call me an idiot too.
Also, stop telling others that you post in other threads, pretty much every post i see from you is related to heat.
You're on the internet. The internet is filled with impressionable young people and idiots who live in fantasy land and are quick think everything is a conspiracy.
Just as an example... there was a thread a couple weeks back where the OP was saying Jeff Van Gundy isn't calling the game with Mike Breen... Hubie Brown was there instead.
Everybody in the thread was speculating that they fired Van Gundy and replaced him with Hubie. They were coming up with all these idiotic ideas about why he was "fired".
It wasn't until about page 3 when a guy finally chimed in and said "couldn't he just be missing one game for personal reasons like he's sick or something"?
It amazed me that not a single person's first thought was something simple like "maybe he's sick." Everybody automatically jumped to wild conclusions.
That thread is the internet in a nutshell.
[QUOTE=bmd]That thread is the internet in a nutshell.[/QUOTE]
Except that the JVG situation was just a one-time thing.
There are volumes of information that indicates biased officiating is a reality, and not just speculation.

If you're gonna call me out, at least read the posts in here that i wrote.
Miami and pacers are the only teams playing atm. There are no other games. What do you think most people are going to talk about right now? Exactly.
Now you are comparing WWE with professional basketball, and you expect me to see the comparison there? :lol:
First of all, WWE is organised entertainment, it is fake and everyone knows it(apart from naive kids). The NBA is a professional sport that is supposed to be called fairly, and I'm pointing out that it has changed since the Jordan era and is treated more like an entertainment(suppose the only comparison to WWE) for the viewer moreso than a professional sport. When you have superstars on teams, the league sees it in its best interest to look after these teams to rake in the money. This changed noticeably after the Jordan era because the NBA and Stern know that the big teams with the big players having success draws in big money. The thing about the Heat is, alot of people want to see them lose for various reasons, so on top of having superstars they have villains, perfect combination for making money.
if you dont want change then clearly you just dont love the game. You just love MIami.
Really only idiots wouldnt think the league is corrupt when instead of investigating the refs for donaghy exposure, they give them the power to tech and fine everyone. Stern instead protect the refs. LOL

stop writing shit. most people who complain about NBA being rigged talk about Jordan ERA being the start of it. At least be consistent. You are a bulls fan and it is clear that you are biased because if you say that it has been rigged since the time jordan started winning, his rings wouldn't mean much.
So many players used to complain that you can't breath on jordan without foul being called but ofcourse you just decided that after jordan completed his second 3peat, league started rigging the games because Poido123 on ISH will have tough time as he is a bulls fan and those are the only championships bulls have won.

Tim Donaghy was fixing the point spread for his own benefit. Of course he is looking to discredit the league. Its not that same thing as fixing a game specifically for the benefit of one team. Dont be so foolish, the Donaghy thing proves nothing other than the fact the Donaghy was a cheat.

Uh huh.... and no one else knew what Donaghy was up to, not even the refs that he was working with during games?
And Donaghy was the ONLY ref in the history of the game to try and "profit" by making bogus calls?
You have the nerve to call other people "foolish"? You better look in the mirror to find a fool.
It's all pretty shitty, but its been consistently bad every season. And I understand that they don't have an easy job, but obvious things get missed and then they stuff they made up to try and balance it out and its just silly.
Also, these refs let ego and showmanship get the better of their judgement far too often.

Again, you try to pass me off as a Jordan stan, when I have mentioned that Jordan's pushoff against the Jazz may of been fishy and the start of corrupt officiating. I also pointed out that I'm not entirely sure when the league turned wrong, but it certainly is there and I can see it.
The Jordan era IMO was the time that it did start. Did Jordan really need help? I dont think so, but Im sure he got help. When big business took over, the league had to protect the money and the superstars and i can see the relationship between the two.
The current refs consist of guys that Donaghy eluded to. Dan Crawford has an unbelievable record playing with the Heat :lol: But seriously, influencing games is happening in the league and something might come out when Stern has moved on...

Joey crawford has a real horrible record as far as heat is concerned during the playoffs. also, if rigging is happening, it is not because of stern and it will keep happening till nba exists. Stern has only done good for NBA and if rigging is happening then he can't stop it as it must be for a lot of money and it doesn't matter who is commissioner, it will keep happening. Lots of really bad people from outside must be involved for rigging to happen.
