And the odds of Boston slipping to last in the lottery?

He only risks perjury if he actually goes to court to testify about it; and if his testimony is demonstrably false.

By making claims that amount to his word against someone else's, for which there is no documentation either way, he's not really risking perjury charges.

There is no reason to believe him; unless you really want to.

4. Last yr NBA final rating is lowest all all time!!!!

If the NBA was rigged, why would they have let SA play Cleveland in the finals last year? And only let it go four games?

If it was rigged, why did PORTLAND and MILWAUKEE (tiny markets) win the two lotteries before that?

People will see whatever they want to see. Bottom line is no way a huge organization like the NBA could keep something like a major fix secret, and they have too much to lose.

As you said, they learned from last year's mistake (low rating) of not wanting the fans to see SA and Cleveland play again. Cleveland and SA would would be fine because of Lebron and Eva Longoria.

As for Milwaukee, they can have three Andrew Boguts and still not make the playoffs!!!

I never said the NBA is rigged, but there sure are a lot of CONSPIRACIES out there that allow many to think so.

Probably what Roger Clemens thought, too.

How long would YOU let that series last?

They could have a dozen donuts, er, I mean Boguts, and still not make the playoffs.

Ya' know, even if the NBA rigged all the games to get higher ratings, I still wouldn't watch it, unless there was a halftime strip show featuring Eva Longoria Parker.

The better analogy is to Mcnamee. His credibility is limited. He's made accusations that are refuted by the accused, in what started out as mere "he said, he said."

The difference, though, is that there may in fact be evidence which supports his accusations. I think it's a stained dress or something.

If Donaghy is able to provide evidence, or gets lucky enough to have someone else find some, that supports his acertion; all bets are off.

Not to chase this rabbit trail, but McNamee's credibility is actually higher than Clemens' IMO.

For one thing, McNamee did not have to name Clemens. For another, he was given immunity ONLY IF he told the truth, so the penalty for McNamee to falsely accuse Clemens is much higher than a mere perjury charge.

And, third, Clemens has been caught in several lies already associated with his denials.

I'm not sure what to think about Donaghy or the NBA. I'm not a fan of the NBA and therefore don't follow it closely at all.
