The refs can influence a game no doubt but I've heard ppl say the players are in on it too. One guy on here actuslly told me he thinks the players are either told to "play it out" or to throw the game and that the players have absolutely no control over the outcome. So out of the thousands of players who have played in the NBA, they all know about this and not a single one has come forward. It's beyond stupid and just a lazy way to blame their losses on someone other than themselves
