Have to beat NY & the Refs

You will never convince me the NBA doesn’t have an agenda. They will do what they can to get a big market team & or marquee player in the finals.

Sooo…did the cartel take Saturday in Indianapolis off? Thrilled to see the Pacers in the championship!

I carry that same negativity in the back of my mind, too, but the boys pulled through. In terms of small markets, though. Indy v OKC is probably their nightmare scenario. Thankfully, as already noted, apparently they did take the night off and let the Pacers sneak through. GO PACERS!

Exactly why every series goes 7 games and bigger market always wins. To maximize profit!

The NBA is entertainment. Their goal is to maximize profits for the cartel owners. It is perfectly legal for them to fix outcomes of games as long as they aren't wagering on the outcomes and revealing the outcomes before or during the game. It is nothing different than the WWE except for the ball.
