Default The Donaghy situation

If his statements are true, the NBA will have some big time adjustments to make. Replacing David Stern should be first order of business.

Another thing the NBA could explain....if there really is a conspiracy, how in blazes have the Celtics and Knicks been so bad for so long, why are the Lakers losing this current series, how did the Jazz go to back-to-back finals, how does San Antonio keep winning championships even though they are ratings killers, how did the New Jersey Nets make it to 2 Finals?

All of those things would be fun to have answered.

You've highlighted the incompetence of David Stern. He can't even pull off a fix.

You got it all wrong, DDD. The conspiracy isn't that the Jazz got to back-to-back finals. The conspiracy is that the Jazz lost back-to-back finals.

Dang, get it right, would you?

He pulled off the frozen envelope pretty well.

You have to be blind and stupid to not think that NBA refs seek to influence the outcome of important games where $ is on the line.

You'd have to be blind or stupid not to think that Mike Waters would post something like this.

I'm pretty sure that exUte and Johnny Lingo agree with you on this topic. I have no clue what Tex thinks or if he even cares.

The idea that a widespread conspiracy exists in the NBA is as ludicrous as any other silly conspiracy theory. Occam's Razor & the fact that it's nearly impossible to keep large conspiracies secret & all that...
