People should know that making dumb claims that games are rigged just detracts from efforts to fix real problems.

I don't think games are rigged, but the nba really fails at avoiding appearances of rigging. Joey Crawford referring an important San Antonio game? Really?

It's been the tale of two arenas for the Spurs.

And like Joey's antics or not, I believe he's one of the better refs in the league. Bennett Salvatore on the other hand... I like Ed Malloy, but he made some soft ass calls on Lebron last game.

2 more flopping fines for Indiana. Hibbert can't even flop right.

Also... OKCs 3 losses in SA by a combined 80 points. Wow.

What's really remarkable about the OKC vs SA series is that while both teams are clearly really good. They've alternated getting totally outclassed. Like how often does that happen? I wouldn't have been surprised by a close game, but I would've been stunned to have anyone predict that SA would build a solid lead and then just dumpster OKC by the end of the game. What's happening?!

It's not even a hate train. He isn't even a bad ref, usually. But how stupid do you have to be to have him do spurs games when he has a public feud with Duncan? That is like letting Bill Gates be the judge in an Apple v. Microsoft lawsuit.


P.s. Fining players and coaches who criticize refs doesn't help at all either. It just perpetuates the feeling.

I think Game 3 was pretty predictable. Pop was not going to change his strategy Ibaka or no Ibaka. You can also expect at least one Westbrook/Durant going crazy game. Pop figured out a few things for tonight and Ibaka may be wearing down. It's also possible Tony isn't at 100%.

Far from it, Supersonics are more dead than ever. Clippers won't move, and the Seattle group lost a powerful investor.

yep, staying in LA is far more profitable than going to seattle.

Just math really. Nba playoff structure favors the better team and the spurs are better than Okc. Bringing ibaka back closed the gap but not enough.

Well the sonics were not supposed to be moved from Seattle to OKC.

I could see the same thing happening down the line with a L.A. > Seattle move.

And I think Ballmer has enough cash to not worry that he is moving to a smaller, but still large market in Seattle.

The best you could hope for is the LA Supersonics.

It's extremely unlikely that the NBA would allow the team to move from LA even if the ownership group wanted them to. They'd be giving up so much money.

No, just odds in general. So lets say the spurs v okc is 55-45 in spurs favour at start of series. The more games they play the more likely it is the spurs win.

This is why the best teams win in the Nba and you rarely see a 'fairytale' team win it all.
