Re: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers - ketchim - 06-09-2016
Just looking at that NBA Commissioner interview last night and you can tell :
Memories of that 35 year running : 50 Billion $$.... Bernie Madoff pyramid SCAM ! >
How old is the NBA ?
Re: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers - chairman - 06-09-2016
You cannot start Kevin Love. You have him come off the bench. You DO NOT disrupt this momentum.
Re: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers - Nargis - 06-09-2016
you see mapoui, when a game is fixed, not necessarily everyone is involved...those from above just have to get into the minds of the right person...that could be one person on the team and just say "dont play so hard...relax and let your teammates take some shots"
or
"dont win the game...keep it to yourself...this all for the sale of more tickets at home, youll get part of the profits..."
and thats it...thats all they have to do...and the higher ups bet on the teams and make their money.
match fix!
Re: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers - Nargis - 06-09-2016
kevin love is not the greatest player - he has a time and place.
but chairman is right ...
Re: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers - ketchim - 06-09-2016
Coach was asked and he pointedly said he was not gonna say IF Love will play.
and how he will be used ...
I dont care man ....last night was my farewell to a dumb arse sport !

How old is the NBA ?
Madoff ran that successfully for over 35 years : NBA is 65 years old
Discounting Infancy stages and listening to Adam Silver , it is evident
Re: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers - mapoui - 06-09-2016
yes Nargis the game was disgusting. there is no way in hell Cleveland can beat GSW that badly even if they played with one hand tied. something was deadly wrong.
but look ehere. if it is a fix I don't care you know. I have explained my perspective before. to me for the player the prize is and must be the biggest salary he can muster. given that the game is a business then the player business end of it is the money
winning a championship is extra and must not be a concern of the players..as in their goal. that is for the coaching staff, team management and ownership. winning championships is not the players business. their business is to play for their pay and that can go a long way towards winning a championship. if it does fine. if it does not so be it.
Re: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers - Smoking Joe - 06-09-2016
Lebron is the greatest NBA player right now in the league. His presence and leadership at Cleveland has taken the team's performance to another level.
The officials in any sport will make bad calls, just like any other human being.
Lets appreciate the talent if James and his team!

the best in the east meets the best from the west...the NBA showcase.
there can be only a few normal flows:
a competitive series almost even Steven..all games tight enough the results not know until late. or one team so superior from the other there is a sweep. that would result from the variances between the superior developmental stage of one division over the other that happens from time to time..once the east sweeps the west/next the west sweeps the east. most times it is more even.
but what do we have here..one clearly superior team..the western team.. yet we have had 3 one sided results in favor of the home teams. that is not logical. there is no perceived equality between the teams that can produce that kind of result, if they are both trying to win.
the Cavs home team can win by a superior effort but not by the margin of 20-30 points. there is no such difference in favor of Cleveland if GSW is actually trying to win.
no such margin has manifested itself at any point during the season between these 2 teams, in Cleveland's favor. it is totally out of whack and illogical for it to manifest itself at this time, in the showcase series of the NBA season that is supposed to wow the fan and keep him coming back for more next year...the least likely occasion and location for any thing of the sort to occur.
both teams are supposed to be fighting hard to win which should at all times produce results consistent with the relative strengths of the 2 teams.
it is clear that GSW is the superior team and by all that has gone before they should sweep Cleveland. it is the responsibility of the two teams to play 7 consistent games in these finals but that is not what is happening. the results in Oakland appear to be true. this result last night is clearly not true...an accurate representation of the relative strengths of the teams GSW did not play any competent basketball. and that can happen only if they did not try to win.
and so the result is disgusting even if the fix was not in for it is the finals and it was low level basketball that people pay tons of money to see. the teams held themselves to no responsibility to deliver to the fans a true example of what they are capable of.
the NBA and basketball loses for this rotten and suspect display, but the marketeers will get going to spin this giant failure into a positive to keep the fans coming.
but not this one..me. I will not look at this seriesagain. it is totally disgusting is what it is and I am done with it. it does not matter if there was a fix or not, the product stank to high heavens. and I will not be stunk out of the house with dem criminals who own and run the NBA
