NBA embarassment
 

Yea, like he's got a lot of credibility.

Just the same, this kind of cr@p is what fans want to hear...the fix is in...the ref had it in for us. It'll be interesting to see if it goes any further.

This is horse bleep...true or not, it just feeds the public perception and THAT sucks!

I will say this though....David Stern repsonded on ESPN and some of his answers were choppy and seemed like he didn't really believe what he was saying. Could have been that he was sincere and answering off the cuff with out a prepaired statement but if if somebody is not guilty I would think their answers would have been a bit more precise....Makes me wonder if Tim Doneghy(sp) is not telling the truth at least in part.... :o

I have zero confidence in the convicted felon. A conspiracy by the NBA to ensure a game 7 would certainly have come out somewhere. The potential downside should it come out is so massive and devastating that no sane organization would take the risk. Not when the reward is one more game's revenue. Stern is nothing if not calculating, and if he was considering something this nefarious, he would have certainly thought of the colossal risk with a very high probability of coming to fruition.

Until more evidence comes out, I'm taking this for what it is. Desperate anomisity from a convicted felon attempting to lash out at the NBA and reduce his sentence.

This was the topic of discussion on local talk radio last night, as you might imagine, this being Jazz country and all. And, of course, they dragged out all the most cherished conspiracy theories about the NBA. The biggest being that the NBA always tries to ensure two big market teams make it to the finals, preferably Boston and L.A.

Except that Boston and L.A. haven't been to the finals in what...the past 23 years until now? Which makes that a pretty impotent conspiracy if it exists.

I'll buy that the league promotes and protects the stars. The NBA is a business and nobody pays for season tickets to watch Kobe sitting on the bench with 4 fouls or an injury. But there are just too many variables involved, too many players who are in it only for themselves, and too few consistently "predictable" outcomes for the league and its officials to be exercising the kind of control over the game that so many conspiracy theorists cry about.

I'm betting (no pun intended) that our friend has a book deal in the works and is laying ground work for an "expose" of some kind.

Whether we believe Timmy or not...the KINGS GOT SCREWED in game 6 of that series.

...ok...ok...I bleed purple & black. I just had to rant a bit. :)

1. who in the world would trade Kwame Brown for Pau Gasol? :confused:
2. KG and Allen to Boston?
3. Chicago Bulls with 1.5% chance of winning the lottery (3rd biggest market in the league)
4. Last yr NBA final rating is lowest all all time!!!!

That was my senior year of high school and there were quite a few angry Kings fans in school after that series was over. Most I'm sure believe that the game was fixed so this will probably just validate their "theory". :rolleyes:

If he's lying and if he makes these exact same claims under oath, he's committing perjury. Although he's a felon and has lost almost all credibility, I think he's being truthful.

For those that don't know, jimpiano only posts here when he can find something negative about officiating to stir the sh!tstorm. Just be aware.

Something does smell funny...

I also like the Crosby to Pittsburg story. I think the league had its mitts in that one.

Yabut :D, he does have the right to speak his mind because America is the greatest democracy. But the jig is up, and the truth is out there, we found out his modus operandi. :D

Actually my Canadian friend, no he doesn't.
