Did James Harden expose the NBA as scripted WWE?

[El Diablo Blanco]

It just seems to me that last night's game he totally checked out.  Spurs with two superstars out and he only takes 2 shots.  Seems to me that the NBA made it clear they wanted the Spurs to win so they can have the first game on Sunday instead of midweek if Houston won.  When Harden was told to lighten up he just decided to check out completely as did the rest of his team.  Something seems shady about how Houston played like they didn't give a fuck from the opening whistle so that the NBA could have the Spurs/GS west final.

I have a hard time believing that blacks care at all about "winning" once they get their paychecks.

They'd hock their rings to the local pawn shop by the time they reach 45.

A lot (maybe most?) would've rather seen a Houston/Warriors matchup due to the offensive firepower.

For 2 years Golden State avoided the Spurs and now will have to play them.  Plus if the Spurs beat GS they will be Lebron's kryptonite.

It's hard to explain why the whole Houston team just didn't show up to play like they knew the fix was in for the Spurs.

The only entertaining thing about the NBA is to see how players squander their millions.  The usual suspects: sexual assault, unpaid child support for 5-6 kids with 4 women, poor investments, drug and alcohol problems.  That's the real entertainment.

Anyone remember game 1 of the series?  Spurs got waxed and gave in to their fate that night.

No conspiracy theories followed.

The Rockettes got destroyed early and they gave up....that's it.  They were the absolute favorites and when they realized their time was up they quit and ole Jimmy raised the white flag.

NBA doesn't like the Spurs....never have.  They like players and teams that rep for Sprite, Foot Locker and other national ads.  Ever seen Robinson, Duncan, Parker, Leonard or Ginobili in a national commercial?

All you see is Kobe, Lebron, Curry, Paul, Jordan (Michael and DeAndre), Griffin, Shaq and Magic.

Now come to San Antonio and the Spurs are on every other local commercial LOL.

Fyi I have Warriors in 6 in West Conf Finals.

If Spurs somehow get past GS I have Spurs in 6 over the Cleveland Lebrons.

Lebron has nightmares about the Spurs.

Some think Harden was on drugs during the game.

That he played stoned.

Don't they all play stoned? For regular users itbshouldnt affect play. I know a lot of fighers who rol and spar stoned.

Even painkillers won't affect play. Coke or benzos might

I'm not from the USA or follow the NBA but it seems a lot of sports are scripted now. It's all about the money, keeping games close so people keep watching. Who cares about who is really the best.

Only one of the games in the Spurs-Rockets series was close, the other 5 were decided by a 10+ point margin

are there any new white greats, like J West or Larry Legend?

Fella that plays for Utah is good Gordon Hayward or something.

[jon cole]

Even in the nfl they are not making much effort to hide the fact it's rigged. Lots of video on YouTube about more than "suspicious" game, weird referre decision, player not even trying, sign between player during match.

You are now just realizing that the NBA is scripted? I thought for sure everyone would have learned after last years NBA finals when the Cavs came back from 3-1 deficit to win the title. I haven't watched a game since. The whole thing is a joke.

[Pray_4_War]

Harden chokes in the playoffs, this is nothing new.

The Finals will be the Golden State Cherry Pickers against the Cleveland Lebrons.  Odds of who wins are a toss up.

I figured out it was scripted during that Kings-Lakers game years ago, which the referee later admitted to fixing for the Lakers.

[polychronopolous]

I've known it's been rigged for over 10 years.
