NBA-Vegas-Mafia.
Selfishly, I just look at this as the odds of Seattle getting a team before Vegas are rising. Should I bet on it?

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


With Windy saying the NBA forced Rozier to sit out the balance of the season with a fake injury, literally every narrative is now up for grabs.

Is there any potential Aaron Gordon type trades out there where a miscast young quasi-franchise player moves to a new team, becoming a top flight role player?

Also, GSW knows how to get the best out of former Gators all the way back from Speights and D. Lee. Now they have Horford and Will Richard.

Have seen the Bucks get confused on switches that look like that all the time.

The Gordon three point renaissance is crazy

Great night of games to forget about Damon Jones gambling.

You mean Cam Johnson’s five points and Braun’s six points weren’t enough?

(I get the Jokic joke just noting they invested a lot in the other two)

I think it’s time that Adam Silver goes, the integrity of the league is at stake and he cannot be trusted

Warriors are 24-5 in games where Jimmy and Steph both suit up (67-win pace).

Although I'm walking back some of my comments about this being a waste of FBI resources (It was bigger than just sports betting and involved the mob?) but this clip is exactly why I abhor sports gambling. You are a radio show host for a contender and you are losing you **** over your team winning by 10 instead of 8.Get the f out of here. You are upset a meaningless line bet that could easily be manipulated without skepticism was manipulated? Ok if he bet straight up on Portland winning and Chauncey pulled that ****? sure. But he wouldn't, wins matter more and that decision would've been way more scrutinized. Gambling in its current form is addictive, stupid, and takes away from the enjoyment of the actual game.

Issue is the west is too good to punt the regular season and coast, but I also dont trust both Jimmy staying for the whole year and Steph not slowing down due to age come May.

Nothing needs to change gambling-wise as far as eliminating props. Every legit company uses algorithms to detect when an inordinate amount of money has been bet on a specific game or prop. That's how this was discovered.

The NBA on the other hand needs to institute lifetime bans for being caught instead of this sweeping it under the rug stuff.
