To Clarify:
I just want to make sure the Audible’s stance is clear: The Celtics COMPLETELY deserved this title. The only game that was manipulated in this series was game 2 (and the 1st bit of game 3 where Kobe was the beneficiary). The NBA needs to stop its policy of trying manipulate its product and let the chips fall where they may. It’s one thing to implement a “star” system and give rookies the shaft, but it’s an entirely different matter when you start to mess with the fundamental way games are called to create “drama” and story-lines, extend series and assist teams depending on how they’ll help TV ratings.
David Stern is lucky that the government has already investigated MLB and the NFL or this investigation would go much deeper.
