June 10, 200818 yr Donaghy claims he was told that two refs who were “company men” acting in the interest of the NBA conspired to extend a playoff series in 2002 to a seventh game. Lakers and Kings went to 7 games that year...
June 10, 200818 yr But how do we know he's not telling the truth. The officials hold alot of the game in their hands and what they blow the whistle on.
June 10, 200818 yr It honestly wouldn't surprise me at all if there was a conspiracy in the NBA when it comes to certain playoff series.
June 11, 200818 yr It wouldn't suprise me either...just rather here this type of information from other people.
June 11, 200818 yr I've sometimes wondered about the NBA playoffs but I just can't believe this guy's story.
June 11, 200818 yr He's tough to believe except that people already believe that this type of stuff goes on. How in the world does Joey Crawford almost get kicked out of the league for having a big time beef w/ Tim Duncan, but call the biggest game in the Spurs series in the conference finals just 1 year later? Then he swallows his whistle in a 2 point game and the NBA later admits that he blew that call. The NBA is almost as shady as this ref.
June 11, 200818 yr The NBA is a business, games go to 7 for a reason. I would almost bet that this years finals wind up going 7 even after LA has been down 2-0. So I believe him even though he is a loser...
June 11, 200818 yr I believe shady stuff happens in the NBA from both players and refs, especially in regular season meaningless games. Playoffs probably just the refs and lot less because all eyes are on the game.
