--- Quote from: 13th Duke on May 28, 2010, 10:19:08 AM ---People keep saying the league "needs Lakers in the finals". Thats absolute nonsense really. If anything the league needs new teams in the final to keep it fresh, there's nothign worse than seeing a 30 team league contested by the same two/three teams every year.
For the record, this series will go with home advantage, Suns winning the next one and Lakers winning game 7 back in LA.

You sound like NIK lol. The league does NOT need new teams in the finals. It doesnt WANT new teams in the finals. It WANTS the Lakers and Celtics. If they could have the Lakers and Knicks they would love that too. The LAST thing the league wants right now is Orlando vs Suns lol. Im not saying the league is creating a Lakers/ Celtics finals. If they go to the finals, its cus they were the two best teams. I just find it funny when Laker fans think there is a conspiracy against them lol. NO league on earth is going to try and keep its most popular team...the team that brings the biggest ratings....out of the finals. Its proven that when the Lakers are in the finals, ratings are higher. When the Yankees are in the World Series, ratings are higher. Leagues obviously want that. Shit...look at Duke in the tournament this year. The NCAA knows that Duke in the final four equals much higher ratings. You can definetely argue that they made that happen. The 4th best #1 seed....ends up with the easiest path in the tourny?

sure they want the Lakers in the finals, but dont put it past the league to do everything in their power to extend a series that would be less interesting without the help of the refs...the league would lose a lot of money if the western conference finals was a boring sweep...PeACe

Ive gotten over the whole conspiracy thing man. I think with what has gone on with the league the last few years...referee scandals and what not, this is going to be a time where they are LEAST likely to pull that shit. They would be ruined if something else were to surface. Not to mention, if they wanted to do that...basically, the more games the better. For the entire playoffs. We would be seeing 6 and 7 game series every round. There is no WAY they would have let the Suns sweep the Spurs, as that was a pretty anticipated series given their history. And they would not have let the Lakers sweep the Jazz either.

Of course it can't be proven, but this is actually a very common belief amongst many, and sometimes, the way the games play out really makes you wonder if all the conspiracy theories hold some merit. The last three games have all seemingly been officiated in Phoenix's favor, and you can't really argue that.

^Tim Donaghy admitted that they fixed the Lakers/Kings Western Conference Finals Series years back.

If you watch a game assuming there is some sort of conspiracy theory stuff going on...you will find it. Its psycological. There are people out there who think that when a player is 10 for 10 from the line....and goes to the line again, if the announcer says "he's perfect from the line" somehow that announcer has just jinxed the player and when he misses...its the announcers fault lol. Again, I dont see any way the league would do something like that...especially NOW. And if they did, we would be watching the finals at the end of June cus every series would go 7 games lol. We got swept by the Suns...and I dont blame the refs. The Suns just fuckin beat us. You guys beat the Jazz. I dont think that the refs made you guys win. You guys just fuckin beat them.
