You have got to be kidding me. I don't believe in games being fixed, but I may have just changed my mind. Minnesota is down by 10 with 12 seconds to go. All of a sudden they decide that they want to foul. Z knocks down 2 free throws. Then there is a mysterious in bounds violation. No, they don't bother to show what happened. Then Minnesota fouls again (now down 12 w/ 10 seconds to play). Cleveland knocks down 2 more free throws. Seeing as Minnesota just fouled 2 times, you would think that they want to get down the court and score right? Instead they half-heatedly walk down the court, throw up a lame jump shot and call it a night.

So the real question is....who involved in this game had money on the line? Minnesota's coach? One of the refs? I don't know, but that was the sketchiest thing that I have ever seen. What a ton of bullshit!!

**Just wanted to add that the line was Min +13.5 Final Cleveland 109 Minnesota 95

[jhack704]

Every game is rigged, we gotta get in the inside and find out whats up so we can bank some cash

[secret007]

Even Cavs players know something was going on. They could not believe it!

[IrishTim]

Extremely fishy.

Exactly! Did you see the look on all the players faces as it was going on. It was one of those smirks like, "I know this is sketchy but I'm not going to say anything."

I was wondering what happened there. But yeah, there's been a lot of shady business this year at the end of games. I remember Louisville did something similar a few weeks ago in a game they weren't winning (10 seconds to go) and it sure did seem like someone on their staff was trying to cover the +7 with the fouls and quick 3 point prayers. Phoenix/Charlotte was also a little suspicious last night as well.

Pretty sure there's always a few people on that court playing lines just like us. Helps some of us. Burns the rest.

[secret007]

Usually it is not so "obvious" like the one we just saw. It was way too obvious for bettors not to realize it.

Feels nice to be on the right side of the fix

[Mac4Lyfe]

I'm not sure why Minny was fouling late in the game when the game was over. BUT, the Cav's missed covering the 2nd half by 1 bucket as well so it may not be as rigged as you think.

[jhack704]

Yea feels real good but it sucks when you know if you place a wager the outcome if already set no matter what

[Powderguy]

NO, it was rigged. There is no way to justify fouling down 10 & 12 with 10 or so seconds left.

[FadeCommonSense]

Very nice to be on the good side

[cecbo]

There's been quite a lot of games already THIS year that something like that has happened.

Well just needed to vent, because I can't recall a game where it appeared as rigged as this. I've seen close games where there were suspect calls, but never where they blatantly fouled when there was no possible way for them to win.

[secret007]

The commentator said that Minnesota players were reluctant to commit the fouls but they were INSTRUCTED by the coach / management to do it. It is what I heard.

No one involved in the game is going to be betting midway through the game. Unless the refs decide to call in their bets at the half.

The Redskins/Saints game this season was, but thats the only other game I can remember that was as transparent as this one.

[secret007]

When was it? I would like to see the play-by-play scenario of that game.

[THEGREAT30]

is everything rigged?

[SpreadSniper]

well, between this game and the 76ers tonight, and the OT in the CHL game last night.... one has to think, "damn I'm betting too many games"

[IrishTim]

Still steaming over this game. I'm usually very good at taking tough losses and moving on but this was just absurd.

[ngates815]

I was just watching The Last Boyscout - lots of gambling/players throwing games...maybe not lots, but just thought it was pretty ironic. 2nd best movie of all time.

[frostno98]

Why in the world Minny's fouling twice, being downed already 10 with 12 seconds left is beyond meI say about 99% of the NBA teams would throw in the towel if they're downed more than 3 possession, and having only 12 seconds left on the game.

This is definitely very suspicious but doesn't surprises me. Since I've seen more than my far share of weird sh1t happening both in the NBA and College. It happens more often in the NBA though.

welcome to the NBA thug league

[lakerboy]

lots of shady shit the last 2 nights

[W0lfy]

First off sorry for your loss especially when it comes like that, but in all seriousness if games were fixed don't you think ONE Coach ONE player ONE anything would come out and admit it after all these years? Yeah, they are making a sht ton of money, but even dudes come out the closet after they have retired for 15 years. I just don't think the risk is worth giving up your entire league for. If it was ever found to be fixed then the sport would just be good as dead.

Which game you talking about? I thought the Kings blowing a 12 point lead late in the 4th to Goldenstate playing without Monta Ellis was strange, because the Warriors only shot 30%.

[eberetta1]

Hey, I'l take the fix. I got -13 with looselines. Makes me want to stop betting. They had the spread covered by half-time and
thy're telling me they could not double that at home. Mercy.
I am glad I did not choose the other 2 puzzy teams in the NBA league tonight. They either covered the spread or won the game
outright. We must stil be in recession. Still tough to earn easy money.

Admit what??? Seriously, think about it... What is "it"? Does players not playing 100% count?
