The nba rules, like all professional sports leagues, are somewhat driven by entertainment as that is how they generate revenue and survive as a league. That may mean allowing an extra half step for a spectacular finish or some other rule that a basketball "purist" may not like. If you don't like, watch, or support the league then that's every individual's peragotive.
But to suggest that the league is fixing outcomes and that the documentation is all over the place is a very strong statement, and a foolish one imo. And in doing so you, whether you want to admit it or not, are also questioning the integrity of the officials which i find beyond distatsteful on an officiating message board. To me it is no different than the ignorant fan at any level of basketball who think that officials have some bias against their team or are the reason that they lose games.
