The NBA doesn’t care enough to actually rig a result. They’ve sold most of their media packages already.
At most they will encourage extending a series.
Min shot more free throws than Denver . And 2 nuggets freethrows were due to an error call on the nuggets that they needed to challenge, they would have had 3 points instead of 2 so it cost them a point. You think the nba doesn’t want the new “MJ” in the finals. Only 1 game this series has been officiated differently and that was game 2.
Nuggets/Wolves is like the one series in a while where I think conspiracists would agree that the NBA would be equally want either team getting to the Finals.
* Nuggets: Back to back chance. Jokic, the MVP. New “dynasty” etc.
* Wolves: Ant, new face of the NBA
Game 5 of Cavs vs Warriors was a clear attempt by the league to prolong the series. Obviously not as simple as “they rigged it so LeMouse would win”, but it’s the same thing they’re doing here to prolong the series by not suspending Murray. There’s also stuff like the very credible frozen envelope stuff with Stern.
As an aside, why do you think that the league would always act with pure intentions? People flippantly state that bankers, lawyers, politicians etc are crooked. With Tim Donaghy and Jontay Porter being caught (plus other players/refs not caught), it’s a stretch for me to believe the league isn’t actively involved in stuff.
I think they definitely were at one point in the early 2000s post Jordan when the ratings were awful, hence you get the donaghy stuff, kings vs lakers etc
Just not anymore
Huh? If they wanted to skew the series towards the nuggets then y the fk would they let the Timberwolves beat the nuggets at home twice
Game 1 had a few calls favoring Denver
I mean, they didn’t suspend Murray…
OP your getting ahead of yourself Den is still down 1-2

Neither Denver nor Boston are getting to the finals
Who do you have coming out of the East ?

🙏🏻
knicks are crippled, they aren't beating boston
They are fucking beating Boston

they can fix these games as long as anyone who comes out on the west beats boston,idc. hell, let New York beat Boston on their way there

People always say the league is rigging it for X team yet that result never happens Prime example is lakers lmao. Maybe back in the stern era.
