Here comes HD6 making sense again
Come on. Surely you know that lebron and curry were part of the staff meeting to plan these last two games. No way this is real. All pre-planned.
You know lebron and curry are definitely more concerned with the networks and NBA making more advertising money than they are about winning championships**

It's been a defensive thing of beauty...
that was hard to catch if you didn't watch but wanted to pretend it's still cool go on message boards to say the NBA is rigged because all you watch is horrendous college basketball a few times a year.
The Grizz could have pulled it off if Tony got two points if he hit the rim and Beno could guard a toddler.

Good stuff, and I've gotta admit. It's kinda satisfying watching an eerily similar defensive strategy to what Kerr used against Memphis completely break his own team apart.
Going into this series, I was pretty indifferent in terms of which team won the championship, but Golden State continues to inch closer and closer to that annoying team category for me. Here's something that's funny... If you were to take the Warriors' 4 best players (Curry, Thompson, Green, and Barnes) and add up their salaries for this season, the combined total would would only be about $2M more than what they're paying David Lee. Hell, none of the 4 guys that I just mentioned are even in their Top 3 salaries. It's crazy and while you've gotta give a ton of credit to their GM, they're on borrowed time just like OKC was a few years back. They're always going to be good as long as they have Curry and Thompson, but the wealth of currently cheap talent on their roster is mind boggling.

They cant make it too obvious...........
I love how the NBA purist are so blind to the fact that not everything is all roses. It shouldnt be too hard to believe that there is some form of corruption in every professional sport. Any competitive advantage will be applied at all cost. Anything the NBA can do to generate more traffic to them they will do. Even if it means "scenarios" being played out for drama.

hey dumbass...Is it possible that I watched it at one time and then discovered that it was corrupt and after that I could see right through it and stopped watching it?
Really? When people are good at cheating they don't always let the most obvious scenarios play out.
AGAIN....Cant make it too obvious!! Seriously people. Have you ever cheating in anything?! In high school if one cheats on a test, do they cheat to make 100 or to make a 85 or 90? Which would draw more question from the teacher?
No, it isn't
You're trying to justify a stupid point. The logic is the same as birthers and truthers, and just as bad. You have ancient aliens equivalent facts to back your claims.

The officials do have some measure of control over what happens on the floor, but it's rare when you see a game called blatantly one sided.
You see a lot of horribly officiated games, and you see stuff like home teams being 0-12 this playoffs when Scott Foster is on the floor, but it would be really hard for the NBA to "fix" games.
I do know that they favor their superstars, and superstars will generally get more calls, but they can't just pick a winner. If they could, the 2004 Pistons never would've had a shot, but they rolled the Lakers in the Finals that year, a Laker roster with a LOT more star power.
When I say weird things, I am not talking about being a realist. I am talking about taking extra money to bring more attention to the empire. I bet the NFL bounty hunter deal blew you guys minds didn't it. What about coaches stealing signs from other coaches? NO that would never happen in a sport where players just play for the "love of the game"
This coming from a fan of one of the biggest cheaters around. I will just look past your responses.
is it not obvious that OM cheats on the recruiting trail? Just because someone figures it out, dont mean that it's not happening.
Seeing as how you've yet to speak in anything but vague generalizations about the so-called corruption, I could see how you "discovered" such a thing, yes. If you had truly seen through it you could make it at least apparent to us (seeing as how it is "transparent" to you). But instead you continue a RebelBruiser-esque level of abstraction where you don't actually posit anything of substance but continue to act as if what you've said is self-evident.

He has if they guarantee him X amount of championships over a course of so many years. I would guarantee my top guy all the incentives he wanted too if he "played the game". They have to cater to what drives these guys too. Not just money.
When did I say I had it all figured out? Using the old straw man technique I see. I am merely saying that the possibility of corruption in a mega business such as the NBA should at least be considered.
So if all pro sports are corrupts I'm guessing you don't watch MLB or NFL either
And you have still not answered my question as to wherher you think Curry is missing shots on purpose to help make the NBA money

The post has been edited and the point remains: you speak of corruption in the abstract and say nothing of substance. And the notions you've been floating are incredible at best. You're talking about dozens of people with competing interests making multi-year collisions.
Oh Good Lord
So now Lebron and Curry are at the negotiating table discussing how many titles they will be given down the road if they stretch this one on and do what the NBA says? Do you not realize how damn stupid you sound?
