But it happens.

Game fixing is a serious crime. A little more severe than goofing off at work a bit. Also people do get arrested for Stealing or Speeding if egregious enough.


“Fixing” would imply they are doing so to manipulate the outcome of a game.
Not calling fouls when towns is fouled or calling offensive fouls more often on towns because refs have emotions (like all humans) indirect to trying to affect the outcome of a game would be hard to prove as “fixing”

The thing with the modern-day super high volume 3 point shooters it's extremely hard to make them at a high clip with that much volume. Also makes Curry more impressive. Guys like Beasley, Bertrans, Hield can have huge slumps, its tough draining them at that high a rate.

Hield and Edwards deserve equal credit for us hopefully winning this game today.

Last 10 games or so, opponents move the ball at a high rate while we just ISO the hell every possession. Gross

If they're intentionally making the wrong call just because they don't like a guy that is equal to fixing. Any ref who can allow his/her emotions to affect their calls should not have the job.

If an emotionally charged call = fixing.

All refs = guilty

Ant's doing it too now. It hurts more than helps.

He didn’t before but obviously picking up Town’s bad habits.

Rebounding certainly needs to be addressed in the offseason. That's the one major issue holding this team back.

Put them all in prison and find refs that don't allow emotions to affect their calls. It shouldn't be hard to do.

With Vanderbilt struggling with his health, this team is ridiculously bad at rebounding. It's going to be hard to win against decent teams if the Wolves are giving up 20+ offensive rebounds. I think Finch is going to be forced to play Knight since there are just no other options for guys who can rebound.

We got out rebounded 54/38. V8 had 7 boards KAT had 13. The rest of the team had 18 boards. They beat us on offensive rebounds 22 to 8. Chemistry be damned we need rebounding. We flat out outscored them, but our defense was like the Greek gods, mythological. We need the ASB ASAP.
