referees announced for tonight's game

[Shaquille O'Neal]

Mike Callahan

Born in the Philadelphia suburb Havertown, Pennsylvania, Donaghy attended Cardinal O'Hara High School in Springfield, Pennsylvania[4] along with three other NBA referees: Joe Crawford, Mike Callahan, and Ed Malloy.

"The Daily News also learned that the bookies in the scandal were two high school classmates of Donaghy's who embellished their mob ties. The Daily News reported that at his friends' request, Donaghy passed word about the crews working the games they planned to bet on."

Where there is smoke, there is fire.

The NBA is the most corrupt of the 4 professional major sports in the United States. They should be investigated by the Feds.

I saw that Knicks game. The refs kept calling touch fouls on the Knicks while Pacers were allowed to rough up the Knicks players.

Roy Hibbert has been turned into the GOAT Center to every play in the NBA by the referees.

What a shitty season. The only hope for my Heat now is for everyone to make their shots and take the refs out of the game.

Damn bro, I thought Dan Crawford was reffing tonight..... this is so fked.

Why do you think the cHEAT will lose? The insiders very well may have bet on them.

I agree .it started from the early 90s when bulls started winning those championships. all championships won before 90s are legit. after 90s began, championships won by small market teams like spurs are the only legit ones.

2 of these three each ref'd the 2006 finals games 3 and 4 separately.

Thoughts?

[tpols]

Hibbert is going to be on the bench by the 8 minute mark of the first.

Or David West. Or both. Feel bad for Indiana, but still rooting for Lebron.

[keep-itreal]

the ref is gonna fake an injury and then joey crawford will sub in.

the fix is in.

Regardless of what happens, if the Heat win, the haters will say it was rigged, and if the Pacers win, it wasn't and vice versa with the Heat/LeBron fans. Typical.

I'm rooting for the Pacers, but I don't engage in conspiracy theories. And if one looks at it logically, and statistically, in Game 7's, the home team wins the vast majority of the time. So while it's not a guarantee, mathematically, the Heat have a better chance at winning this one.

btw why do conspiracy theorists act like rigging games is a no-risk, maximum reward ploy, when in reality loads of people could go to prison and have their lives ruined. The loss in revenue/tv ratings from say, not getting the ideal teams in the Finals, is far lower than the losses would be if there was even a hint of the league/refs fixing games.

[Rondo]

Didn't Foster give a technical against Sam Young simply for looking in the direction of LeBron James?

Yeah, the Heat should definitely be worried...
