More than interesting. This is the most troubling part about the whole story to me, because it goes to the integrity or at least the competency of the league office.

NBA must be pretty happy they’ve already locked in that long term broadcast deal.

Networks need a morals clause in the TV contract like the players have to agree to.

You guys know em all.

The real story is how David Stern could get wind of problems and solve them behind the scenes before law enforcement stepped in.

Adam Silver - not so much.

Then again Stern never had a Pablo Torre to deal with.

Per the posts on the prior page Windy is really coming out swinging. Alleging the NBA held out Rozier to cover up the gambling takes bigger cajones than even what Pablo has done. The “Jordan Rules”. :lol:

So now the NBA’s investigation needs to be investigated.

Windhorst is going to “accidentally” choke on a donut. Won got out at the right time.

The funny thing is when we as fans see something weird and feel like a game was fixed for whatever reason fans will go "oh yeah, cuz the NBA really cares who wins a random Hornets vs Bucks (for example) game in the middle of November."

Then you see stuff like this and it kind of validates your feeling... that yes someone does care enough to fix the game.

Daigneault using his last timeout with 33 is interesting

I’ve never liked Windhorst. But it looks like he has a pair. Good for him. Much respect big fella.

First time I’ve seen this old interview with Tim Donahue, I wholeheartedly believe this kind of stuff happens to Giannis and the Bucks. So many blatant missed calls and extreme unbalance on how they call things for one side compared to the other in certain games

Nice to see Indy go down. They don’t have the horses to pull off that stuff anymore but props for them keeping it close.

Doris on the GSW game. Meh.

OKC with two straight double OT games to start the season is interesting.

Not as interesting as the fact that now I'm gonna question the outcome of every game for a while. Thank you NBA!

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
