Man that video showing all the bad calls brings back bad memories. Those still piss me off to this day. I hope everyone involved gets grilled for this because it truly costed us a championship.

Sigh..yeah this sucks and I hope the NBA does something about it, but I just can't get upset about this anymore. It is what it is. Our own FO has done far more damage to our title chances than some refs anyway.


Our own FO made those moves because we lost in the playoffs and thought we were not good enough to go all the way. . . So essentially its the refs fault for making us lose, which made our FO make the moves they did. So..

You know those moments you have as a lil kid, when you hurt yourself or something and you're literally cryin to your parents to help you and check you out, and they just kinda ignore you and say you're fine without looking at you at all, but then a few days later they decide to look at you and realize, holy **** you really are hurt????




Yeaaahhhh....

I think we have to boycott/protest or something to get the leagues attention. This is unbelievable that this happened. If congress can impede on MLB for steroids, then they can for fixing games in the NBA as well especially since the probably made a good amount of profit out of it with the bets.

Suns will always be the champs in my mind. Kings 2002 as well.

The NBA would have a huge problem if all of these allegation in the excerpt are true. I can't even imagine what the rest of this "chilling" book must read like.

I've never been one for conspiracy theories but that game was obviously set up...

the league needs new refs that replace the older more biased refs, without that there will be no pressure on the current refs to keep their game sharp.

Return to Phoenix Suns
