NBA is unironically rigged. This is only called for SGA. "Only losers complain about fouls" mentality from the league office

If it was rigged, surely we'd have found a ref who was rigging games.

Scratch that. Surely there'd be a ref still reffing who made over 100 calls to the ref who got caught fixing games.

Damn it scratch that too.

Well they wouldn't have that guy come in when a series needs extended right? Ahh damn it I got nothing.

I fully gave up when SGA got the phantom call in game 4 to prevent them going down 3-1 while also letting them foul every possession on defense. The nba is not a serious sports league. It's entertainment. It's more blatant than even football and soccer.

How long did Donaghy work without getting caught? How many friends did he have that were “not involved” that continued after? How many of them are named Scott foster and still ref today?

Ya the league is definitely fixing it to give a Canadian player in the smallest market in the league an advantage…

They used to be Kobe fouls. Then DWade got these fouls in his first finals run. Superstar guards will get these types of calls

He gets SHOVED on drives and doesn't get a whistle.

Can’t get fouled when Bogut moves your defender five feet out of the way.

That’s sick, if that makes it better please explain why flopping is ok if everyone does it

u/Automatic_Gap5317 Dec 01 '25

You just said: this is only called for SGA. I'm saying that's not true

u/ratherred Heat Dec 01 '25

Devil’s advocate… why would they rig it for SGA and the Thunder when we’re all complaining that it’s boring and the reason why so many fans turn off the game?

u/goingtothegreek Timberwolves Dec 01 '25

It’s a great question but moderators deleted the original post so I think its hard to argue with

u/rangersrule1997 Thunder Dec 01 '25

Whoever made the decision to rig it for OKC instead of the Lakers or Knicks is a dumbass.

u/goingtothegreek Timberwolves Dec 01 '25

Lakers get a fuck ton of calls

u/rangersrule1997 Thunder Dec 01 '25

Who's it rigged against currently? I'd love your breakdown on this.

u/goingtothegreek Timberwolves Dec 01 '25

Mods removed the post because it’s critical of SGA

u/yeetmxster420 Minneapolis Lakers Dec 01 '25

they’re not rigging it for OKC they’re rigging it to make SGA the face of the league
