...Thats not fixing...Thats just being lazy tired. Its not a sprint its a marathon...Case in point...GS could care less about the regular season....instead of playing 100% effort they may have played 80%. There are factors involved such as were they on B2B games or 3 in 4 nights...They are not fixing games. Just the same as when you go to work..some days you are tired and sluggish and other days you are not...Maybe you parties the night before.

Please vote no.

Charles Barkley said it best....Rockets offense is...Harden dribbling the ball for 20 seconds on the top of the Key and taking a step back 3...then next possession CP3 dribbling the ball for 20 seconds and taking a step back 3...rinse and repeat. ISO ball is not beating the Warriors.

Somebody needs to break out the tin foil hats!! If all these players and coaches are following scripts, why is it that not one of them have come out about it? 90% of these athletes are dumb as bricks and could not keep such a secret- If sports were all fixed then betters would not bet- the truth would come out- If sports are not fixed then the house wins as they will always have betters willing to gamble

Most bettors on Covers...Especially the newbies when they lose it's fixed. When they win...they capped the game and are the greatest cappers out there.

It is rigged.

And if this poll says different, then it's rigged.

who the hell says that no athlete or coach has ever tried to spill the beans??

the cia and media have their hands so tightly wrapped on everything its scary.. all media is severely controlled... do u really expect to hear about these stories on espn really?

look at the various anti-flu, anti-chemotherapy/big pharma, september 11 whistleblowers who's bodies have been found in the woods under 'unusual circumstances'. No question the majority of these pro athletes are dumb, but they're smart enough to keep their mouths shut when they have to

Who remember about draymond b.s foul, i mean i forgot the exact situation or what happened, this like 4 years ago....

In my few recollection their team is leading by 10 pts or more...

Second left 10 seconds or less, at halfcourt he just foul a guy, and walks away, freethrow let the other team cover...

This has been talk about in online blog that day or online website, where they have a video of the play... lol.

No altercation or whatsoever, just a clean foul from draymond, very uncalled for, at halfcourt, i think the other players is not even in a hurry, they just want to burn the clock 10 seconds or less remaining...

Draymond make sure his foul is clean and ref blew a whistle...

Even commentator said something, he just went for the foul and walk away lol... 2 freethrow and sealed the cover...

I forgot this one, but i am sure there is one, because i won on that game and even watch the video before...

Espn

NCAA: Student-athletes, you may have heard, are not paid (as professional athletes are), which makes them more vulnerable to being compromised. A Toledo running back once admitted to fumbling on purpose in a bowl game for just $500 as part of a gambling plot. Sure, any game can be compromised, but pro sports athletes -- and even the officials these days -- make enough for a shady character hoping to influence the outcome to have a tougher challenge.

If you do it in college, you do it too in pro...

If it can happen in college basketball, it also happens in pro sports.

Cant find the draymond green video...

31-20...in favor yes.

The legality of wagering now in the states will now bring so much extra scrutiny on close calls in the NBA Finals going into the NFL season...NJ is slated to open end of the month for the finals. The lines will become more mainstream and then the leagues will implement (if they already haven't) a way to "ensure" fans the games are not being rigged.

Of course, every game is not rigged. Sure, college games are somewhat easier to fix for one side, but the professional leagues are going to try to convince us right away that the "integrity" will remain the same.

Even though they've been planning this for years and even experimenting with it in the UK (NBA in London/NFL at Wembley), they are in on it and cashing out at the correct time. The Raiders going to Vegas isn't so taboo now, but it only helped the argument for implementing the law change now.

The "integrity fee" on all our wagers will be a fat cut for their wallets. They don't give a shit but selling us a story line or figuring out a way to retain eyeballs past halftime -- they might not care who necessarily wins and by how much -- but they obviously want to maximize profit in high volume situations.

That means refs keeping the game somewhat close throughout the game ...(is the home team about to go up by 20+ in the mid 3rd quarter? refs will be sure to keep eye balls on a high market game by being lenient to the losing side in both NBA and NFL)...It also means players becoming more aware of the betting game, i don't think professional athletes will be bothered by this. They have too much to lose to be gambling on their own games now...i'm curious how prop bets will be affected though.

But we'll see...lots of money to be made on both sides of the table.
