I understand if you are betting on the NBA and following games, but I have no idea how anyone can watch this shit, if they aren't betting on it.

Nearly every call is based on who the player is. The whole league is a joke. I laugh when people actually spend money to go and see this shit.

Sounds like college football, the NFL, pitchers. If it's so easy, just figure out the conspiracy and bet on it

don't get me started on this laker officiating.

games like this really help out the round 2 home team dominance (17-1 or something)

very true....but the conspiracy people are always 2 steps ahead....once we figure it out, they flip it the other way....they don't care who wins the game, they just make sure they win the money.

Lakers vs Celtics for 7 games. Capitalism and Corruption. Humans are cowards by nature.

For entertainment only....college basketball is fun to watch. Crowd is into it, players hustle up and down the court, teams play defense. In the NBA, most crowds are dead, the PA announcer is from the street in a lot of venues, very few teams play defense, very few players hustle up and down the court. All college sports are the best to watch, followed by the NHL & NFL. I love baseball, but cant watch many games anymore.

And what makes you think MLB, NFL, & NHL officials dont do similar things?

Same type of shit goes on in ncaa basketball & football, but depends more on the coach and specific league/conference loyalties than individual players.

Did you not watch the pitt/wvu football game last year? Happens quite often, actually.

Anyone remember the Kings Lakers series a few years ago?

You have sports like soccer where you run up and down the field for an hour and a half to see a 1-1 tie, or basketball where you run into 2 bodies under the hoop and throw your arms up 30 times a game. Gets old quickly.

i watch the nba because i enjoy the league. in terms of the game its maybe 2nd behind football. hockey isnt a sport and baseball is to slow and a majority of the players are not athletes. if im real bored i'll watch baseball but thats it.

i agree with woofdaddy, you got bad calls that happen in every sport. the nfl has instant replay and they still get it wrong sometimes. i cant wait until you whiners start bitching about the pass interference or the refs favoring one team or the other when football starts. i hate it, but know it will happen. any sport where you have to make quick decisions is subject to human error.

Hockey isn't a sport?

Have you ever watched a game live???
faster than any sport
harder hitting than any sport
more skill at high speed than any sport
