Was that Bob Delaney making the no call there? The man who took down the mafia now working as an nba ref. :think2: They probably got to him and threatened his life unless he fixes some games @):mad:

You people are using the worst evidence to support your claims.

You've posted 2 individual plays that were probably posted by people just as close-minded as you. 2 plays tells us nothing. Even the Donaghy scandal wasn't game fixing. He was calling both sides equal to influence over/unders. The nba has one of the best referee system in sports with the way they fine and suspend refs and make them watch games tapes of ALL their screw-ups.

Bullshit. How the hell gard is it to call when a player takes 4 steps. The players do it all the damn time. Why have it in the rules if they don't call it. I hate the star treatment. That makes the game a joke.

I hate to think games are fixed, but why do people find it hard to believe?

Corruption is found in every single industry, so why would sports and gambling, which go hand in hand be exempt.

Drugs have proven to a problem in sports, Steroids, Weed.

We have seen refs, players involved in point shaving/fixing. The NBA is a for profit organization who has created rules to make the game more entertaining, in order to garner higher ratings and greater ad revenue.

Why do you think teams are allowed to advance the ball from their own basket to the other 3 point line.

i just find it hard to believe. too many people would have to be in on it and makes no sense because the players are the highest paid in any sport. even the refs are making mid 6 figures. sure you have some crazies like donaghy, but they got caught, that didn't stay hidden. i just find it hard to believe. maybe in college sports there'd be a better argument for it.

say the lakers are up 10. no time left on the clock. kobe at the line. spread is 11. kobe makes one, its at 11. what does kobe gain from making or missing the free throw to win or lose the spread. no amount of money offered to him is going to touch what he makes, and if people found out somehow he intentionally missed it, then he knows it would come back on him. just see no reason imo.

Maybe he's got some friends who he knows are on the Lakers -11?

Or he got an anonymous call threatening his family?
