point shaving

I've always been one to brush it off when people say games are fixed but the more I watch the NBA lately the more I believe this and tonight's game did it for me. How does Wade go 0-6 from the line....I mean even Dwight Howard would have hit a few.
Then down by 10 with 55 seconds you don't foul, really? What if he misses both FT and you go down the court and score right away??

We're talking about the point total. I had over 195.5 for the game....one more f'in basket and the game goes over. If Wade hits just 2 of 6 instead of none or if the Heat foul with a minute to go the game goes over.

Well, think of it this way....Say you were looking at the over and under for the Heat Knicks games.
Suppose I said to you, The Miami Heat will shoot 54% for the game, and make 9 3 pointers...The Knicks will shoot 53% and also make 9 pointers.
Tell me you all wouldn't take the over? They are high%...
As I maintain, overs and unders are determined by tempo and referees.....
Some days they run like they have a murderer after them, then for some reason, another day, they walk the ball and shoot very deep into the clock.

You also have to remember, if someone is to tamper with a game, they cannot make it too obvious...
What if he was 2-13 and missed 6 FTs?
They know what they are doing.
The funny thing in all this is, someone would have wrote a similar thread as the OP did in games Donaghy officiated in and people like you would have come in and called him a moron etc etc
Remember, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
