Yes because I said this was fixed. I'm just annoyed by the people who kept saying that Stern wanted the Cs to win and yada yada yada. You can't deny that the NBA execs have to be enjoying these results so far in terms of economics conspiracy theory or not.
I completely agree with you. I was just pointing out that NBA execs probably dropped the ball for the following series: Phoenix, Dallas, Denver, and Toronto. They need to fine-tune their ways, can't just reap benefits from 1 series. Gotta have "questionable" officiating make all series go 7 games. C'mon Stern!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

On an unrelated note, I can't believe the Hawks won tonight, they could of loss a close one in front of the second sell out at their house in the past 10 years... instead they choose to close the series by getting blown out in Boston. What a weird decision by JJ, Horford.
I can't blame Cs fans for being arrogant going into this one.
The Hawks simply blow on the road and the Celtics are one of the best teams in the league at home.
And Im sure there will be plenty of homecooking with the officiating.
Unquestionably it would have to be the greatest upset of all time in sports for the Hawks to complete this.
SO again I see why Boston fans are so cocky

I know man, it's a conspiracy to get Hawks to the NBA finals! Damn Stern!
Or a conspiracy to revive basketball in Atlanta?
Well not really conspiracy since conspiracy would be Stern rigging the entire series in ATL's favor. I just think that these games were "forced" to be close and show Atlanta's fans how good of a young core they have so they will go out and actually support them next season. Ultimately the C's had their chances to win so the refs didn't decide the games. They just kept them close and when you're at home and can feed off the crowd like Atlanta was in games 4 and 6 they were very capable of winning with the talent they have when given an opportunity in the fourth quarter.

The post before you is as blatant a piece of sarcasm as I've ever seen. I blame the public schools for this.

you say look at all the teams that disagree with me, well I would be curious to know their home attendence numbers compared to Atlanta, or Phili. Every ATL and Phili fan out there is pumped because they pushed a good team to the limit and they have a young and exciting future which in turn tranlates into______maybe I will buy that mini game pack next year.
Dallas=sellout every game
Phoenix=sellout everygame
Denver=already has a solid marketing base AI+Melo
Toronto=Only team in their country
its not about ratings as to who wins or loses, it is about selling season tickets and signing sponsors. You think atlanta hawks might get a few more looks by sponsors???
Not to even mention Tim Donaghy
