There's not.

At least not to the level you're suggesting.

And preemptively complaining before the game ever starts that things are slanted against your team is just such a loser mentality.

No it isn't. Burying your head in the sand and ignoring the blatant favoritism certain players and fans get is loser mentality. Not trying to change for the better but accepting things like "superstar calls" is loser mentality. A foul is a foul. Refs shouldn't have to look at the name on the back of a jersey to either call a foul for someone or to swallow the whistle because star player x has 5 fouls. Even commentators say it during games.


You would think that after an undrafted Laker player who shall not be named shot more free throws than our entire team last year, people would be wise to what's up but alas. Ignorance is bliss they say

There's just not some grand conspiracy. The NBA is not at all trying to rig a friggin October game between the Lakers and Magic. I just don't know what to tell you man because that's not a thing.

The more realistic explanation is just as simple as the fact that refereeing in the NBA is very difficult to begin with and there aren't many people who strive to become NBA referees. So you have a not super talented group of referees trying to officiate players who are bigger, faster and more explosive than they've ever been at any point in league history, AND you have more and more players legitimately practicing different techniques on how to fool referees with different kinds of flops and exaggerating contact.

A lack of competency is not the same thing as corruption.

Sure and it just so happens that only superstars flop or practice flopping. Also, if they don't rig a random game in October (not random since the Lakers are involved,) then does that mean they rig in the playoffs? If your answer is still no then the timing of the game is irrelevant.

Regardless. It was just an off-hand comment that wasn't supposed to bring peoples excitement down, so I'm done with this topic now.

Watching other games before ours and damn we take for granted how good our announcers are… the Indiana guys are terrible
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

I have league pass and NBAtv and the Magic vs Laker's game is not even an option for me.


I can not access Bally Sports Plus now just two hours before the game. The Help Page says they have a login problem with Bally Sports.

Since I am local, I just want to know if I can watch it on NBA TV since it is a nationally broadcasted game. I have NBA TV via Youtube TV
I doubt it. I live in MD and the Wizards are our local team. If the Wizards play a game on NBA TV they black it out. They force you to watch it on the local channel.

Yeah, BallySports isn't working at all outside of the actual channel itself. So won't be able to watch tonight I guess.

I have never been able to watch a Magic game on NBAtv due to “restrictions”. But it has been a long time so honestly, I don’t know. I cannot watch it on league pass but I do not know about YouTubetv.

Last season, we played the Clippers first and got the Lakers on the second night of a B2B.

Why is everyone so interested in Dwight’s choice of meat? GB has a 5 page thread on it.

Hoping for the win tonight
