This game is fucking riged. Everything revolves around money, and the NBA finals goes under the category of everything. Stern wants fucking ratings for his Finals and the dumb fucking Viewers are going to give it to him. Even the dumb fucking commentators on ABC agree.

True, NBA is rigged.

Unfortunately that greedy Jew Stern can't hear our complaints while he rolls in his piles of cash.

True, the 99 championship was a knockout considering Duncan was an incredible young talent and Robinson was still half decent despite his age. Then 03 drew a lot of viewers too with it being Robinson's retiring season and the Spurs becoming pre-eminent.

Then the Detroit championship era is when the Spurs started getting boring, but ratings rebounded against the Cavs because everyone wanted to see Lebron. (lol sweep)

If the NBA was rigging in favor of big-name teams, they failed COMPLETELY in the decade before this season. Wasn't there one point where the Bulls, Lakers, Celts, and Knicks all missed the playoffs?
Besides, if you really wanted another Spurs/Pistons snoozefest, you are either a bitter spursfag or a bitter pistonfag.

Just because your team lost does not mean it's rigged.

So the entire Lakers and Celtics fanbases are under age 12? That Jack Nicholson must have some good makeup.

Stern is quietly ruining the NBA. Two franchise relocations in a decade (about to be 3, because he's basically saying "fuck you" to Seattle), the Donaghy scandal, the San Antonio Floppers and at least one rigged championship thanks to the forementioned Donaghy. Cultivating the "hip-hop" image that he's trying to now backtrack from, because gee, it turned out to be a bad idea when everyone associates your league with thugs. Hmm, what else?

Not to mention the "subtle" SURPRIZE LAKERS/CELTICS FINALS in an attempt at raising a few ratings quickly. How much you wanna bet it was planned this way?

And why isn't an of the owners trying to force him out yet?

So I suppose that the explanation isn't that the Lakers and Celtics played well enough to get there?

Yes, it's plausible that the NBA fixed things in favor of this matchup, and they should be canned if they did, but to assume that the whole thing was a rig is just self-righteous and annoying, not to mention self-fulfilling.
