>Disgraced NBA referee alleges 2002 playoff conspiracy

>Haraz N. Ghanbari / Associated Press

>Tim Donaghy claims in a letter filed by his lawyer that "it was in the NBA's interest to add another game" to the 2002 playoff series between the Lakers and Kings.
Tim Donaghy, in court filing ahead of his sentencing hearing on betting scandal, says officials favored Lakers over Kings in Game 6 to assure a Game 7 in the Western Conference finals.

In my defense, what would get better TV ratings in the Finals, Kobe and Shaq, or some farm team with no fans outside Northern California?

All time low in ratings if Excramento won. Who were the Eastern Conf. Champs? 76ers? Nothing about that series would be interesting, other than "talking about PRACTICE?"

Donaghy's in a tight spot right now, and he's going to start making shit up. Like Jose Canseco, or Scheherezade.

The thing is the stuff he's making up makes perfect sense.

And Canseco was right about some things too, but a lot of it was pure slander.

he has lawyers that know what they are doing, they probably sat in a room and said "hmm well remember when everyone was mad at me for calling all thoses fouls on the kings, or what about when van gundy got fined can we use that?"

no one will do a jose conseco and just make baseless stuff up like he did with a-rod

And does every body forget when the refs made the wrong call in that same series and gave the kings the ball when they knocked it out of bounds? that led to a bibby 3 that won the game. no one seems to remember that

I remember an illegal screen was set on fisher that freed bibby up for that shot.

this could have all been avoided if the kings would have taken vladi out and put in gerald wallace

he would have blocked horry's sho and would be the only bobcat with a ring (until next year)

It isn't the first time a game has been questionable, but it wasn't like it was SO OBVIOUSLY FIX'D OMFG! They couldn't hit their shots that would have kept them in it, that's not the fault of the refs.

why does every one think stern would go out of his way to help phil jackson? a man he hates only less than mark cuban?

and fans are always looking for conspircies. no one believs paul pierce is actually hurt but we beleived a convicted felon trying to find anything to black mail the nba with?

Please tell me we are more reasonable people than this. im a celtsfag and was wishing for the kings to beat the lakers but this conspiracy stuff is ridiculous

Didn't they also talk about how a 2005 playoff series was fixed?

>>152723
they were talking about when van gundy said the referees were treating yao unfairly. cuban started complaing about yao's moving screens and the refs started calling them

no conpiracy

It's not about helping Phil Jackson, it's about the TV ratings and the money from ticket sales and such.

Its true. Any non-Laker fan that watched that game has known for 6 years.

It's pretty obvious those games were fixed. So it comes down to Donaghy either admitting to being involved with illegal gambling or putting the blame on stern.

Seeing as Donaghy's not likely to admit the former, it's not surprising. Especially considering the guy FUCKING FIXED GAMES.
>> Anonymous
Hmmm. Im guessing Stern ordered the Kings to tank their free throws and go like 2-20 shooting 3's too.
