The 2012 playoffs rigging is vastly underrated.

Lakers won from rigging in 2001 against the kings

It was disgusting. And it started in their very first game. That first half of the Knicks game was the worst rigging I've ever seen, and they probably wouldn't have even needed it. At worst they would have lost that game, and still win in 5 or 6.

The Celtics series was just as bad, and the Finals...talk about rigging at the biggest stage. At the end of game 2, 3, and 4 the refs made "timely mistakes" that put Miami on top. People forget how close that series was because of the 4-1 result and the last game being a blow out, but it should have been at least 2-2 if not 3-1 with the OKC on top, heading into game 5.

Long story short, NBA wanted Lebron to have his first ring worse than he did.

Eh, I think the worst rigged game I've ever seen may be that MIA/Pacers game 1 that year. I think by the second quarter every single Pacers starter had at least 2 fouls on them. Shit was insane. Vogel and some of the players got fined after the game for calling the refs out for it.

Really you could pick any Heat game from the playoffs that year. I wonder if thats the first year ever that two players from the same team led the playoffs in total FTA?

Shit was insane.

LOL at Russ digging up this ancient thread. Must be feeling extra butt hurt today about that ass whuppin Bron put on his boy 2 year ago!

[dubeta]

These people mad that both Durant and Kobe choked that year, this is their way to vent their frustration

[comerb]

Lebron >>>>>>Kobe it's time to move on buddy

Shit on.

That year was where Dan Crawford, Joey Crawford, and Scott Foster came to shine.

Niqqas was like "you get a free throw, you get a free throw, you get a... oh wait, not in a heat jersey, next, you get a free throw"

Good thread

Rigging was obvious, Westbrook dropping 40+ with 3 free throws meanwhile Wade getting touch fouls and bran allowed to hack people at the end of games to ensure victory. Stern said he had enough of bran bein trolled

Yo, I totally forgot about that.

A record was broken that night. Westbrook scored 43 points on just 3 FTA. No player has even come close to doing something like that in the playoffs.

It just goes to show that Westbrook = GOD and the refs =

LOL at people complaining about rigging in the East. Worst rigging was in the Western Conference Finals. Thunder had no business playing Miami. That became obvious with the way the Heat crushed them in the Finals with the gentleman's sweep.

You mean Boston?

You mean Boston?

Spurs-Thunder games 5 and 6 was worse than anything I saw in the Miami-Boston series.
