THE NBA ISNT FIXED

two points:

1) what about that commercial that aired during halftime of last night's game congratulating the celtics on tying the series?  of course many would call that just a "mistake", but there is no proof that it was.  in fact, why even make any such commercial?

2) there is ANOTHER reason why millionaires would shave points or even throw games--it's called blackmail, and NO ONE is impervious to this if they have a secret they absolutely do not want let out.

Realy fixes only sigle team after total game start play.

parlay can not fixes .

a referee went to prison for it

I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S FIXED! WORST SPORT IN THE WORLD TO BET ON

Disgraced former NBA ref Tim Donaghy made explosive charges against the league in response to a demand from the NBA that he pay $1 million in restitution. What does it all mean? ESPN.com's Lester Munson explains.

"Referees A, F and G were officiating a playoff series between Teams 5 and 6 in May of 2002. It was the sixth game of a seven-game series, and a Team 5 victory that night would have ended the series. However, Tim learned from Referee A that Referees A and F wanted to extend the series to seven games. Tim knew referees A and F to be 'company men,' always acting in the interest of the NBA, and that night, it was in the NBA's interest to add another game to the series. Referees A and F heavily favored Team 6. Personal fouls [resulting in obviously injured players] were ignored even when they occurred in full view of the referees. Conversely, the referees called made-up fouls on Team 5 in order to give additional free throw opportunities for Team 6. Their foul-calling also led to the ejection of two Team 5 players. The referees' favoring of Team 6 led to that team's victory that night, and Team 6 came back from behind to win that series."

Although no teams are specifically named, it is not hard to deduce the game in question. The Lakers-Kings series was the only one that postseason that went seven games, and the officiating in Game 6 was so questionable that consumer advocate and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader called for a formal investigation.

The Lakers attempted 40 free throws to the Kings' 25 in that game, and Los Angeles made 21 of 27 from the line while Sacramento converted 7 of 9 in the fourth quarter alone.
