I don't think it is fixed, I just think that the NBA has very flawed officials. At best they are naive. They trust that the officials can peer review each other and they turned their heads the other way at the Donaghy stuff. That was the turning point right there. They needed to investigate every single ref they had then and there but instead, they just tried to brush it aside and called him a lone wolf. I don't think Silver sits there and tries to plan out who wins...I think instead they just turn a blind eye to refs that may be either... Biased. We know for a fact that some refs hold grudges against certain players. We know that some refs like sticking it to the home team. Some refs like chumming it up for the home team etc etc Corrupt No proof of ref corruption, but we know Donaghy was an NBA ref and was corrupt and that according to him there were others.
I understand that argument. I'm more questioning the people that claim it's all rigged and they knew this would happen because the NBA wants GSW in the Finals, etc.
By design, on queue. I would have been shocked if they put anyone on the top 3 voted good refs on there.
rip, Rockets has lost 100% of the game Foster has reffed in. No matter if it's a jinx or bad reffing, we already know this game 7 outcome.
This guy needs to be ****ing fired immediately after this! Possible 10 points taken from Harden on 3 point fouls. Unreal!
Rockets should boycott the 1st game Foster officiates next season... Just refuse to come out during pregame... But tell the league thats what they are doing beforehand...
