The entire season is being rigged to set up a Lakers showdown with either the Celtics or the Cavs.

You better be talking about the OP of some other thread - Because I have never posted on the GB.

Luka trade was more likely in response to the Warriors getting Butler.. not the other way around

Did you utilize a time machine to come to this conclusion? I say this because the Luka trade happened three days BEFORE the Warriors traded for Butler. :D

Celtics OKC still teams to best with OKC still having to get over the hump.

Warriors Lakers would be a great series if it happens.
Young OKC facing old Warriors would be interesting

I don't see anything but a Celtic Cav conf final.

Refs have been found to be involved in sports betting in the past, which I is likely an ongoing issue. But I really doubt the league itself is trying to rig anything.



Lakers FT rate speaks for itself.

When Austin Reaves is getting double-digit FTAs per game.

But this crap has been going on for decades or have we forgotten the Lakers getting like 30 FTs in the 4th quarter of a WCF playoffs game?


The trouble is with addition of Luka, teams maynot be good enough for the refs as well.

Adam Silver $hit his crypt upon reading this...

https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/celtics-lakers-draws-46m-viewers-largest-nba-audience-for-non-christmas-regular-season-game-in-seven-years-194449688.html

The Boston Celtics' 111-101 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night drew the largest non-Christmas audience for an NBA regular-season game in seven years, according to the league.

The game, which peaked at 5.3 million viewers, averaged 4.61 million viewers on ABC, topping the previous high of 4.64 million for a Celtics-Cleveland Cavaliers game in February 2018. It was also the most-watched prime-time program Saturday night.
