Yeah that series was strange, I thought the Bucks was the better team that year too.
But all of us KNOW they wanted a Kobe vs AI match up and parlaying the whole Kobe being from Philly thing into it.
If you ask me I think that all of us who saw through the league are now saying, "Thought so".
Until Stern lets us see his officials being punished for screwing up on the job people will always have thoughts of conspiracy.
Was the Bucks-Sixers 2001 ECF series also rigged?

Also, about that Jim Rome clip--I am officially freaked the hell out, because that could easily apply to just about any season.
"I'm not saying the fix is on"... that was six years before the Donaghy scandal.
Man, the more this goes on, the more it feels like when I found out Santa Claus wasn't real.
Hello ladies. Look at your posts. Now back to mine. Now back at your posts now back to MINE. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if your posts started using Optimism™, they could sound like mine. This post is now diamonds.

or maybe it has something to do with stephon marbury(their star player) starting his own clothing line and taking money away from one of the nba's major investors. (not saying I believe it, but it does make sense).

"He jumped up real mad like he was cheering for Philly," Allen said.
Bucks coach George Karl said conspiracy theories were "summer talk," although he claimed three other NBA coaches had called him after Game 5 to raise that very issue.
"Sam Cassell said that Kevin Garnett and Rod Strickland had called him, so it's out there," Karl said.
So Stern can't be a fan of basketball because he's the commish? If he gets excited it's a conspiracy...Get real.

when a reporter asked dstern about his personal feelings on darfur and the players speaking out. He said he wasn't there as a "person" he was there as the commish. Same should apply at the games.

Just pointing out something that should be just as important as the foul discrepancy (3 more for Milwaukee=2 more fouls for Sixers, of which they converted 69.6% to Bucks 81).
Sam Cassell fouling out and the Scott Williams flagrant situation are worth looking into. Losing a player that gets 20+ MPG in the playoffs is significant, which is why I think the Suns fans have a pretty legitimate beef with officiating prior to the Donaghy revelations.
