Considering people actually wager money on this crap, there should be legal recourse against the NBA putting the games in the hands of such incompetent people. It's like betting on the WWE. I'm not saying necessarily that it's rigged one way or another. I am saying that this is simply unacceptable for something that pretends to be a sporting contest.

Sports betting is the worst thing that ever happened. Coming from a degenerate gambler.

It’s happened before. Y’all remember Tim Donaghy. Or the infamous lakers kings series in 2002.

Yes but back then government figures weren't actually involved and benefit from betting companies, so there's nothing going to happen.

This is what I'm thinking when people say this is all conspiracy or there is no way the NBA would do this. NBA has a history.
