Clippers vs. Memphis GAME 3 (rigged)

[andyrocha90]

lol at all the ghost calls these refs were coming up with.
it's obvious David Stern didn't want Clips to go 3-0. I mean cmon everyone was expecting the same kind of series from last year, he would lose revenue. David Stern ordered refs to call every foul they can against the Clippers, and impede any chance of even a good game. (cuz David know Clippers are capable of turning around a 27 point game LOL)

how sad that the NBA/David Stern has to be so harsh on players and fans.

[vasilli07]

Let me guess. You lost your bet on Clippers, right?

[andyrocha90]

no im a fan.

[thewhiteguy]

no im a fan.

I bet on them too man, it will be ok.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Well if ur a fan then know this already. The Clippers are not winning the title not in 2013 anyhow its Miami's!

[andyrocha90]

look at my avi. im a fan lol

look Clippers deserved to lose they played awful. but the refs impeded this game from being entertaining at all.

Free throw attempts: Clippers 23 Memphis 38

that flagrant foul on Matt Barnes was not a flagrant foul, not debatable at all lol
and if they would call such a soft flagrant foul then they should have called a soft technical on Randolph the way he charged at Matt Barnes.

and there was alot of fouls called against the Clippers in the 4th, alot ghost calls, that there was no fouls. it was getting out of hand

[Tofudog]

I agree that the flagrant was flagrantly not a flagrant.. I mean obviously there is no bad blood, and Barnes barely touched him.. The thing about the rigged games is you have to watch for the moments that they make the calls. They are always huge turning points... like they also called a foul on someone gaurding mike conley after he got fouled twice... but then the clock was at 1.4 and they call a petty foul..

I thought it was pretty obvious. And yes I bet on the Clippers too. Lesson learned

[gopolks]

Is there a way too block any posts that have the word "rigged" in them?

[Sumalia]

The call on Chris Paul for hooking(on Tony Allen) when he was going to the paint in those last minutes was bullshit too.

[pimpinaces]

So you think David stern called the ref on his cell phone and said hey I need this game to go to game 7 can you please let Memphis win because tony soprano has a bet on Memphis. Fukking idiot how people think. So if you know the fix is in wouldn't you take Memphis??

[Tofudog]

Well pimpin.. its hard to tell when it is fixed because you can only tell once the game is started. I don't use the term fixed because it isn't fixed, it is rigged. Donaghy even said that they could guarantee 75-80% of the games that they rigged. Obviously they cant stop people from making shots or missing freethrows.

If your a true basketball fan you keep track of the fouls and can tell which ones are tremendously important. In the game of basketball, most fouls are so miniscule and the refs have the most leeway of any sport. They can not call fouls one game if they feel like it and call everything the next game.. And these are the same refs.

I would say that this might be the first rigged game of the playoffs but you are a fool if you don't think sports are backed by money. Its a huge industry. In fact, it is amazing how much money they make because schmucks like us spend too much time watching TV

[Tofudog]

Also, the Clippers made it easy on them by not playing well, but when the momentum shifted there was a very bad call each time. About three or four calls is all they need.

[Taka]

Flagrant foul was definitely an intentional bad call. There was nothing even remotely flagrant about it and he went for the ball. Just watch the league take it away tomorrow when it won't really matter anymore, as the damage is already done. The threatening charge at Barnes and the "headbutt" by Randolph (which once the contact was made he tried to cover up with a head rub and a smile), should however be a technical. The hooking foul on Chris Paul late in the fourth - I did not see it and I watched a replay several times. But hey, what else can you expect of those refs? Probably received a call from Joey Crawford before the game...

[redeye413]

Nba is fixed who doesn't know that.

[bubblebuttluv]

I just watched the 2nd half and a good number of calls (calls on both teams) looked like bullshit. Those calls reminded me of the NBA's REGULAR season, smdh.

[pimpinaces]

I mean clippers scored 81pts regardless?? Your not going to win many games like that...foul or no foul

[Tofudog]

I felt that they were not given a couple calls on the offensive end. The other thing too, is that basketball is so much about momentum. When you don't get calls in the paint, you will start to take long jumpers and your problems become compounded

[pimpinaces]

I tell you what if lakers win tomorrow without Blake..then I'll take you conspiracy into consideration. That line should be at -9. If anyone should think its rigged I should. I had the nets and second half over of Memphis both got cracked with bullllshit

[Aaron McCrevice]

rare no-show from CP3, otherwise it's probably 3-0 clips right now

disappointing but not rigged

[Enjoi]

That was one of the ugliest games I have watched...Clips played like sh1t but there were a few moments where I could see the moementum swinging their way....AND BOOM! the refs intervene. Crap game all in all

[BigPage25]

game was definitely altered by the refs to favor the grizzlies... was i surprised by this?? NO not AT all... nothing in the NBA surprises me anymore... i feel like I've seen it all

[jpot34]

NBA is rigged. Been that way for quite a while. Not easy finding the right side either. People who don't believe this live in a fairytail!!!!

[face]

sure looked rigged to me and i had grizzlies

[JM92]

I had clippers here guys and although I also agree this was really, really poorly called, if you were that surprised you haven't been watching Grizzlies in the playoffs in the last couple of years. In '11 against the Thunder the only thing they weren't doing at home was punching away on people (and at OKC the same was happening the other way around). Yes, last night Zach Randolph might have not finished that game if it was called the right away, for as good as he is, he definitively did not get 6 legal offensive boards, still, this is what happens in the playoffs at Fedex forum. I will be taking the Clippers in the next game probably, and Im pretty sure this will happen again, even if not to the same degree. Paul just needs to show up next time, and he will.

[Ferndog68]

might be rigged but who cares. i mean it is the clippers after all. lol

[iMxth3xbossx5000]

If it was rigged, good I'm glad. Memphis won me HUGE last night. Won a straight bet on them before the game, won an In Game wager -5.5 for Memphis In Game, and also Won Memphis ATS cappin off a 4 team parlay!
