    The NBA was largely fixed between 2000-2010. David Stern needed to fill the void left by the Jordan Bulls dynasty break up. The league went from 1st to 3rd in popularity with the lockout. Gift wrapping championships to the Shaq/Kobe Lakers was a good business and marketing transition. (2002 was obvious). And then it just carried on from there. 2007 Spurs comes to mind. Adam Silver cleaned it up, but there is still plenty of lousy officiating.

      @@goodfella2400 I agree with the fixing in spurts theory, and that the 00's were fixed and the 10's were not. But how do you think the 20's have been increasingly fixed? Even from a completely unbiased view, Lakers and Heat steamrolled a bunch of teams that had no will to fight back in the bubble, highly unlikely it was fixed and if it was it'd be to get Giannis Vs LeBron I'd think. Those series in 2020 were all just basketball, minimal ref fuckery. In 2021 injuries were the main issue, and I wouldn't believe the league wanted a Suns vs Bucks matchup, but it's just how it progressed. There's a lot of potential for them to have fixed series over the past 2 years, and letting the Mavs/Grizzlies/Philly/Celtics keep getting bounced is good evidence to me it's not fixed. Way more positive matchups for ratings have been ruined by teams getting bounced in the 1st/2nd round, and you end up with Clippers V Suns WCF in 2021 for example. 00's was blatantly rigged though lmao (same with the 80's even if no one admits it)

      @@IblewuponyourfaceIII I disagree. I think you have sour grapes. Clearly, something changed after the ‘98 lockout. And on the heels of Jordan’s retirement, Stern needed to create a new dynasty. Shaq and Kobe were the best option and then it just continued from there. Adam Silver cleaned it up somewhat. Due to all the replay rules, games cannot be fixed the same way as 2000, 2002, 2006-07, etc.

      Ya need to be aware of the Terminology being used. Rigged and fixed means you know the out come. No they are much slicker. I can see refs assisting or shifting the momentum of a game by no calls or bad calls to favor a team or player. Doesn't mean the team favored will win but it increases their chances. It doesn't have to be every game just certain games.

Most plays when they don’t call foul you most find yourself saying that was foul. The issue is the calls are not consistent if luka step backs and someone jumps into his space he always jumps into them
      Thing is he did his against Giannas but it was a no call the refs just assumed Giannas is a lockdown defender so luka is flopping? Wtf when someone jumps into as a shooter that’s either a foul or not does not matter who is playing defense that’s the problem with the nba

    Years later we’re going to hear news about NBA refs and even Analyst trying to help Lebron. The refs by giving him the calls in game and analysts by hyping Lebron as the best player even though he is Not

      alec rivera wtf are you talking about? if you watch the game (which i bet you do because you want to see him lose), he is constantly getting fouled and nothing happens, people say “ohh he’s just a crybaby!” but let me grab your arm and push you while you are doing a layup and get a no call and see if that pisses you off

      Bryce Coulter lmao you are just so Wrong. Lately yes he isn’t getting the calls you use to get a few years earlier but he is still the poster boy of the NBA and trust me they’re tried there best to help him win during his Time in Miami

      @brycecoulter23 5 лет назад

      alec rivera so since you said he is the poster if the NBA (which i agree with you there) but if you really think he gets calls in favor for him then you’re high, a perfect example was last years game 1 finals when they called a blocking foul on durant and overturned it as a charge (1st time i can recall that happening in a finals game btw)

      Bryce Coulter you obviously didn’t read my entire Response. Of course he’s Not going to get every single call 😂 it would be to obvious to people watching, they need to call it objectively sometimes so they can fool people like you!! And I said during his Miami days, last time I remembered last Season he was in Cleveland

      It’s just like Brazil’s 02 World Cup win, they had an amazing team/run, but there were matches with other teams that were blatantly rigged. These refs just taint sports in general.
