Do you think the NBA fixes close playoff games with late game officiating?

Now, now let us give Mini-Ditka a chance a here. I'm sure he means to ask "Does the NBA tell the ref's to call the game in one teams favor in said playoffs."

Is this really a question?

I don't think things are fixed, I think they are steered.

but is this really news Mini Ditka? This is how the NBA has done it for years and years.

I suppose it's like that Timberwolves guy who said the NBA Lottery was fixed and he got fined.

If the NBA fixed playoff games, there would never be sweeps. 7 game series = maximum profit.

Thats the genius of it.

If every series went 7, you'd KNOW they're fixing it

too hard to keep multiple people quiet forever...i think certain refs are known for getting wrapped up in the crowd and the league puts the refs in series with an idea what will happen...but i do not think any orders are given from the top.

Do you think the Bad Boy Pistons would have won anything with today's officials?

You know what I mean as far as flagrants, hand checking, etc. Some of the officials will call a foul for LeBron James if someone breathes on him.

Yes. They would still win. They didn't win just because they were dirty. That helped, but those were still some great basketball teams even without the roughouse stuff.
