| to win the Championship. The league officials have meetings with refs and tel them which team to favour in the playoffs. It happened in the Nets vs Raptors, and the refs were told to give all the calls to the Nets so that they could advance. Why? Because TV ratings and views would be higher in the US if it were a New York team rather than a team from another country. The whole league is set up for profit and TV ratings. . Dont be surprised if you see all the calls going against Spurs when they play OKC. People would rather see a one on one match between Lebron and Durant than to see tree old men. The NBA is a business |

I'm saying, Raptors would've had 4-0 sweep against ANY team if it weren't for this damn business!!

to win the Championship. The league officials have meetings with refs and tel them which team to favour in the playoffs. (your not the first or last person to say this, and what debunks this to a degree is Tim Donaghy who was gambling ever during the regular season on his own games, who he him self admitted never changed his calls as a ref)
It happened in the Nets vs Raptors, and the refs were told to give all the calls to the Nets so that they could advance. (Your proof to this is where?)
Why? Because TV ratings and views would be higher in the US if it were a New York team rather than a team from another country. (What benefit would this have to NBA. If anything the only thing it benefits is the teams sponsors if anything, and besides if Toronto advance even further it would just solidify the international market that NBA has been wanting just like the NFL, so this can be debunked.)
The whole league is set up for profit and TV ratings. (If Ratings meant as much to the NBA as you say they do then all the Finals games would go to 7 games, and the Clippers would still be playing right now.)
Dont be surprised if you see all the calls going against Spurs when they play OKC. (where is your proof behiend this.)
People would rather see a one on one match between Lebron and Durant than to see tree old men. (so your saying you know the national viewing demographics wants? and this has already happened why do it again, why repeat the same finals over again for TV ratings, If anything the best TV ratings would be Clippers v Heat due to the heat that Sterling is getting right now and the emotional streak the clippers would be running on, Because a emotional story with a possible happy ending always be run in the media that's journalism 101.)
And to extned on journalism 101 Originally when news broadcast ran in a specific fashion in which after every news story told that would precived to be sad would be followed up by a lighter story and your local news channel would more then likely end on a story that was ethier uplifting or promoted positive emotions. So again even if the NBA is rigged it wouldnt be for the reasons you claim if anything it would be for the marketability of it's 2 star players in the future then TV Ratings, cause TV Ratings mean more to Broadcaster then they do to the NBA because ethier way the NBA will get it's allotted money for broadcasting the games. The Channels make the money through ratings i.e. advertising, becuase if a event/show has high ratings you charge more money because of the precived idea that more people are viewing it.
TL;DR: Shut up kid cause you have no idea what you are talking about. The NBA is a business |

| Raptors suck and those who disagree are either biased towards that team or just think "NUMBER THREE SEED IS VERY GOOD" |

but number 3 seed is very good. the blackhawks (i know im talking about NHL, but I have to) have the no. 3 seed.
\ It's no surprise that ice cream cones are yummy as can be, or bacon double cheeseburgers, no one will disagree / |

the 3 seed is bad when you play in the NBA Eastern Conference. they wouldn't have even made the playoffs if they were in the west
the blackhawks are the 3 seed because they were coasting in the regular season and because they couldn't win ot games |

"and the Blackhawks suck LOL"
ok genius, then explain why we have 2 cups within the past few years, are currently in the conference finals (and both of the other series went to 6 games) and are i think now 7-0 at home. Where is your support that we "suck"? |
