The NBA is rigged or run by the most incompetent men on earth. These playoffs are proof of that.

- The NBA allowed the Hawks and Heat to replay the final 51.9 seconds of a REGULAR SEASON game because the Hawks scorekeepers are the most incompetent scorekeepers in all of sports yet when a referee MESSED UP in a PIVOTAL PLAYOFF GAME, and the NBA admits as much, the teams can't replay the final 5.0 seconds of the game?

- Rafer Alston gets suspended for slapping Eddie House in the head. Doesn't that mean Wright's hit (foul) on Carmelo Anthony is at least a flagrant 6?

- Dwight Howard got suspended for elbowing Dalembert, Perkins gets nothing for elbowing Pietrus?

- Rondo throws Kirk Hinrich into the scorers table and gets nothing, but when Robert Horry hip-checked Steve Nash into the scorers table he ended up getting a suspension... WTF?

I still don't think that the Cavs are hitting on all cylinders yet. They had too many turnovers lately and they haven't had a game yet where all of their starters were making shots. That being said, they really haven't had to.

I would agree with that only because the Cavaliers haven't played a good / faced any challenges yet. You have to admire their focus / intensity as opposed to the Lakers indifference but it's not until you lose that you really see what your team is made of.

I'm pretty confident Sacramento's going to do it this year. :wink:
