 I never placed a wager on this game. I never bet NBA only NCAAB or Hockey. NHL is played by men and NBA is played by well not so manly men. Soft ass mfers as Coach Brown calls them.

@davemsh

 what does Paul not playing well have to do with the entire team forgetting how to pass, dribble, shoot?

The coach didn't even use his regular rotation.

So either you agree or you are confused to what your comments are about? are you applying he is rigging and gets his team on it?

@davemsh

 I never bet on NBA. But if you do not want to see how it is rigged then you clearly are like a young kid that has no experience with the NBA or sports betting. There were tons of people like you that spoke gibberish in the mid '00s when it was clear there were issues.

Tennis rigged? do you believe that?

How about Golf? 

This isn't a conspiracy theory about landing on the moon. If you know basketball then you know there is a problem. But then again, you do not know basketball, so move on

I posted a new post about how it could be rigged and why? remember. Most ppl dont know the sport they just think of it as a money betting league.  The NBA is so bad. Product on the decline? no its at ground zero now.

First. the NBA is furious with the Suns. There is still a massive conduct review that could force Sarver to sell the team. They did not want Sarver and the Suns to win the championship.

Second. Refs. What if I told you the NBA fixed Suns games over 20 times in the playoffs that literally allowed the eventual champions beat the favored champions? You wouldn't believe it, right? Well it happened and we have court records to prove it. Scott Foster is one prime example.

  - We have a serious admittance from 2 NHL refs just this past week that admitted they played massive roles in change of game. Its not just penalties. Its faceoffs. Its unintentional offsides and puck pace.  The NBA, like the game of basketball has become unwatchable, and it has turned into a sports betting league. How any basketball fans from the past could be a fan of the sport is sickening. Its awful. Its a disgrace. These are college drop outs that think they are professionals cause they are playing against other dropouts. there is a reason why there is no parity in the NBA. Cause majority of the players SUCK

Third. Technology. In Italy about 5 yrs ago they had a league that literally fixed outcome of games and was forced to shut down their league per FIFA request due to the fixing. Basketballs were laced with a device that would control the movement in air that obviously affected the shot. 

Fourth. Basketball is not popular anymore. The sport is dying. But what is popular is gambling on it. They have favorable lines pre-game which excites bettors and even though they win a few bets they bet more and more and eventually lose. Nobody wins long term in betting. NOBODY! The NBA obviously wants Golden State to play Boston/Miami and probably Boston as Miami is not much of a basketball city. We shall see.

NBA Players have a history of taking bribes. Politicians fixed elections. Medical industry is corrupt. Our athletes are bribed. And our pro leagues are now about money over sports. The players are cowards and weak. They have a history. They have taken bribes all their lives playing sports. 

 - What if I told you that college athletes were taking $$ to go/play at their college? Would you believe it? nobody believed it 30 yrs ago. NOBODY!

If you want to go watch professionals play sports. Go watch Tom Brady or NHL playoffs. If you can not see the difference to the crap you watch in the NBA. Then you do not really care about the sport. Only the money. Kind of how the NBA is modeled after.

@StraightWagers

 Scott Foster likely rigged his share of games.

Just look at the NHL ref this week opening admitting they did things on purpose. The NBA has a record so think about that

@warrenator

 you are uneducated. This game was rigged fixed whatever. That was dont on purpose and sadly i think this is the norm. there is so many ways this game could be rigged. 

@StumpTownStu

The Suns game was rigged no doubt. There has never been a game in history like that and its embarrassing. The Mavs played avg and still blew out the best NBA team and every one of their star players played poorly?

wake up

Now the talk is actually heating up. ESPN sports radio cut off NBA insider on multiple networks that was reaired on VISN. The report is that the NBA has informed all their media properties from talking about any such rumor.

This is extremely similar to the Suns Spurs many years ago with the rigged reffing. 

I have never seen a team play that bad. Missed shots. Poor coaching decisions. Turnovers. And it happened for the entire 1st half. The Mavs didn't even play that good to get blown out so I think there might be more to this.

@buffer

 Larry Bird is the greatest player to play the sport after MJ Russell Kareem Wilt Magic and you are comparing Manek to him. come on

@ValueTown

 will never happen. Laws are in place now in majority of states that have teams. If anything trans will not be allowed to play sports ever

what does this have to do with the Battle of Alberta CFL and NHL rivalries

Villanova is a better offensive team that when the ball is moving they are their best. KU is extremely slow footed at defense and this will be their weakness. Rebounding advantage has to go to Villanova and as well the defending these difficult offensive sets will be a KU struggle which will lead to foul trouble.

We are playing in a large venue and we already know the shooting struggles with depth perception is real and has been for a long, long time. Teams sometimes take a full game to get used to these surroundings.

Villanova can shoot the 3. KU can shoot the 3 but Villanova is better at free throws and thats where the margins will be won/lost.

I am going with Villanova should win this game by 4-7 pts

North Carolina vs Duke. Heels were being talked about not even making the tournament. Well they are not in the final 4 and playing the best basketball. Duke struggles is giving up open shots. If Tar Heels shoot 40% or greater in the 1st half this will likely force Coach K hand and double down the paint production that will force Duke to shoot low % shots. I don't like this for Duke and I think Duke will struggle just like they did vs VA tech in the conf tourny. They are not reliable in getting consistent quality points.

Tar Heels can score down low as good as they can get hot hitting the deep shots and if they decrease turnovers I got North Carolina winning this game b 3-5 pts

We got a rematch VILLANOVA vs NORTH CAROLINA

And North Carolina should win that game but we will wait till Championship Monday to discuss

@gotime

lol. mentally tough team? they are hot garbage. They get skunked tonight. 

@undermysac

 lol uh no. Thats when networks purposely do it.

All sporting events are 100% live but it depends on how you receive the signal. I watch mine 100% live as I do not deal with a network provider

@PatsRoll5

 not if you are watching the game LIVE on tv. I am watching the KU game on CBS through CBS not through a cable sub provider or satellite. Its like UHF signal. Its 100% live not 1 second delay

@Freddy66

 uh no its not.

When you are in a luxury suite in sporting venues the game is usually shown off a satellite signal provided by one of the companies that sponsor the event. That would be delayed as it has to be.

But if you watch the game on a television signal provided by the cable company in house they are always 100% LIVE. 

If you watch the game traditionally like in Canada on CBC the game is 100% live. If you watch a sporting event on CBS by cable its 100% live. But most people do not get the signal that way. Its through a provider that is generated stream off-band from a satellite. Thats how they do things now

TV delay is not normal unless you are running digital streaming or satellite that receives their V1 signal off band. 

If you are watching the game on CBS on traditional cable it will be 100% live unless the network purposely does a delay which it would not for NCAAB.

Also. Large book makers hire people to be on site to literally push a button to open/close  in play betting
