Game 5 GSW/OKC highest overnight ratings since 2002. This series is going to game 7.

[livinglegend]

All the best ratings ( like the 7 or 8 best ratings) this postseason were Warriors games.
I feel like the NBA will try to get them to the finals. They are ratings gold.
This series' ratings are HUGE just like 2002 WCF.
They will try to extend it like 2002 WCF.
It's 2002 all over again. Warriors= LAL and OKC= Kings.

Get the excuses ready before the game even starts.

This Adam silver dude sucks. Would stern have been this much of a supporter of golden state?

[34-24 Footwork]

Three of the most exciting basketball players are ALL playing at the same damn time. Why wouldn't the NBA want that?

Last year there was no Kobe in playoffs, no Durant, no Wade and no Westbrook.

The NBA ain't losing that type of bread two years in a row.

It's just too hard to rig a game for Curry... his game is reliant on spamming 3pt. shots and this series he's not hitting anything. So he's useless. OKC is blowing out Golden State no matter what on Saturday. No matter how many bullshit calls the Warriors get it won't matter. Durant/Westbrook are too dominant. Westbrook makes Curry look like a junior high player and Durant makes Draymond look like a poor mans Dion Waiters.

You can't rig against that. OKC is too powerful.

Just put the Thunder into the early penalty and then call phantom fouls. Think Lakers/Kings 2002, Mavs/Heat 2006, Lakers//Celtics 2010, etc. Eazy peasy lemon squeezy.

Lakers had Shaq/Kobe... Heat had Wade/Shaq... Lakers had Pau/Kobe...

Warriors have..... Steph/Dray

If Steph tried to play the way Wade did in 2006, he'd be in the hospital the next day. That's not his game, and he can't draw phantom fouls like that. He's gonna live on the perimeter and get his WEAK shit blocked at the rim with no calls. He's simply not a physical enough player for the refs to rig a game for him. It would be TOO obvious. Even more obvious than game 6 2002 (which was literally a rigged/fixed game)

And I expect the Warriors to get calls. But not at the expense of Durant/Westbrook... that's silly. Durant/Westbrook are way too big of superstars to be treated like the 2002 Kings. Come on man!

But if the Warriors win I'll be the first to say it was the most rigged game in history. Because that's the only way they CAN win.

Give Bogut two weak fouls in the first 5 minutes and its a wrap. No other true bigs so they cant hang in the paint with OKC bigs.

I expect Westbrook to pinball his way into the paint early and often and see if refs lay off whistles or not this game.

Considering Tim Donaghy landed in jail... there is NO reason at all to doubt the possibility of rigging. It's happened before.

Unless you're effin oblivious to the whole 2002 matter?

If it goes to game 7 you can thank the refs for the game 3 and 4 gifts, and enjoy the offseason.
