    If I did not have clutchfans members confirming it I would have assumed appletv had a new series coming out and this was the hook to get you to watch it.

    NBA officiating is a complete crap. Especially when it's the Lakers...

    While I don't think it's totally rigged, I do believe it is HEAVILY biased.

    "a complete crap" is somehow more damning than calling the officiating "complete crap."

    A complete crap includes, uh, you know, every phase of #2. And I agree with him completely.

    Tim Donaghy also named Rockets v Mavs game 7 in 05 as one that was ordered to be fixed. That one also hurt.

    They probably wanted to avoid giving his awesome interview anymore attention than what it already has gotten.

    This is how you know Silver is soft. $25K fine for saying the game is rigged (not that I disagree with Darko.)

    This is the ONLY thing that would change things, besides several other coaches literally cosigning Toronto's coach. League don't care as long as the masses are in. You'd think having more parity would be better off. The come down from the Warriors dynasty run is going to hurt the league but they're the ones who gave them all the calls and propped them up.

    yes, I believe it’s still the highest one time fine ever for a coach- $100,000 (in 2005) for basically alleging and exposing what would become part of the Tim Donaghy scandal- that the Rockets were being targeted


    the Raptors fine came in, it was nothing close -$25,000
