Exclamation Small request for the NBA forum this year...

Asking this before anything starts, can we PLEASE keep the "fixed" bullshit out of the NBA forum this year?

Conspiracy theory people ruined the end of the season/playoffs last year because it's all anyone wanted to bitch about.

If you really think the NBA is fixed, then stop making wagers on it only to complain later. Please just don't bother posting if that's all your gonna do is cry fix. According to some of you, you've never actually lost a game, just on the wrong side of the fix. C'mon get real.

Just want to keep the NBA section normal like it was at the start of the year last year.

If it ain't fixed, don't broke it!!!

WestCoast I couldn't agree with you more! Piss and moan, piss and moan, and then plunk a Buck down still. its the same as people who don't vote and then complain about the government.

All you mallers...

There are fixed games. In EVERY sport. It happens. Not as often as some of you conspiracy theorists would like to think, but it does happen. Too many games, not enough eyes watching. Caveat emptor. If you don't know what that means then you definitely shouldn't be trying to out-maneuver line-makers. Vegas doesn't care. They still somehow make a dollar at the end of the day. And they aren't the ones fixing games.

not gonna happen, nothing wrong with pointing out fishy endings in a fishy league

This includes the bets that you win.

The NBA is fixed. I don't complain because I just make sure I'm on the right side of the fix.

it's lame, fishy things happen, just because they don't work in your favor doesn't mean anything was fixed.

there are fishy ends to every sport that is timed, that's how it is, and all the lines are adjusted.

bunch of babies on here, can't ever accept defeat.

the NBA is trying to rid itself of a black cloud with tim donaghy and people still think they are dumb enough to "FIX" games, lmao, meaning what? the outcome is PRE-DETERMINED?!?!?

once again, cry somewhere else if you freely place a bet on something and still feel the outcome is already predetermined.

superstars get favorable calls, it's been that way for years and years and years and will continue to be for years and years and years. best team always comes out on top at the end of the season, no need to ruin the NBA forum and make it as frustrating to be on as the NFL forum.

so you'll be hitting 100% this season, awesome, looking forward to tailing you.

also wondering how you manage to be on the right side of the "fix"?

is every game fixed? tonight's bulls/bucks game going to be "fixed"? in favor of who, if you don't mind telling me? i could use some extra cash.
