This is ridiculous, and NIK you are pathetic. Take the L like a man. The reason the Lakers lost is because the Rockets wanted it more. There's no conspiracy to keep Kobe and The Lakers away from the championship. Do you know how big of a market LA is, and how good it is for the NBA financially to have them in the finals? Kobe is easily the biggest name in the west, they are already doing a bunch of Kobe vs. Lebron ads and shit. Kobe and Lebron in the finals is the absolute best thing that can happen to the NBA.
If you are blind to those facts and still believe that the league is trying to hold the Lakers down than you really don't understand the business side of the NBA.

the league is not tryna hold the lakers back, if anything, it would be tryna make as much money as possible...Lakers will still advance, regardless, but think about two game 7s on sunday. how much cheese do you think that brings the league? or even betting for that matter...it doesnt even have to be the league. the fact of the matter is, the reffing was horrible to the point of retardedness and nothing can change that.

yea...and what if the NBA was only doing this to make shit appear as if LeBron and Kobe are on the same level, when in reality, it's clear whos better when they play against eachother. do you realize that this could simply be a build-up to a Kobe-LeBron rivalry? it wouldnt be to hold Kobe back, per se, but rather to even teams and superstars out so that the league can control and regulate rivalries and set shit up, like a Lakers-Cavs Finals and make it appear epic....not saying that's what it is, but why throw it out the window? there's been shady shit in the NBA before, and I just wouldnt be surprised...
with all that said, Lakers are still takin it this year. 8)

if the NBA were rigged why have the Knicks been a dumpsterfire hte last decade? if david stern wanted to rig anything it'd be Knicks-Lakers every year or Lakers-Celtics evrey year

wouldnt 4 game 7's be even better? How come Denver and the Cavs are done with their series? You think the league wouldnt love to have had Lebron on TV today? The reason that didnt happen is, because the Cavs beat their team in 4....the Lakers couldnt. Plain and simple.
