Stephen A. Smith: " The Cavs are done" How is this guy employed?

Why would I admit something that isn't true?

I DO have valuable insight into sports. My picks have always profited in the long run.

If I wasn't aware that games are rigged (To me same as scripted since they pick out the winners in advance) then I wouldn't be doing nearly as well, and I probably would of had some losing seasons

But I haven't...so you don't know what you're talking about!

You are free to your opinions and I agree it IS Rigged. So that's really all that matters. And yes they can rig it for James to win the series if they want. Just take out Curry and have GS give Cleveland some easy trips to the basket and we got our Cleveland winner

Well like I said I use the words interchangeably. They mean the same thing to me. So when I say RIGGED I also mean that the players are in on it.

If you don't know this by now (After them making it so obvious) you're either in denial or just blind!

I could show you proof that players are in on it, if you want to see. Go check out a game between Raiders and Broncos from 2014 spread was 16.5

Peyton fumbled the ball and the radiers picked it up (ideal time as they were first and goal and failed to convert on 4 straight downs and they NEEDED a TD to cover the 16.5 spread by half a point.

So peyton fumbled the ball on purpose (no one touched it) to give them another fresh set of downs. Game was almost over there was no way raiders could win so this was purely Peyton making sure that the raiders would cover for vegas.

Even WITHOUT seeing the 100% proof of him acting like a raider hit the ball from his hands (when no one actually touched it) you should be able to use your brain here and connect the dots, about the suspiciousness of the time of this fumble. And connect that with all the other suspicious games

Doesn't take rocket scientist to figure out that the players are in on it. It should be common sense

Donaghy works for them, you crazy? He isn't going to tell anyone the truth.

And then you want more proof let me know there are videos all over youtube showing how the players give hand signals (to the opposing teams) and stuff so they know what the other player will do before he does it

You better believe GS will tank a game on purpose if you want to make money here for these next two games.

All the $$$ and corruption factors aside..... You don't think they would want to win it at home, besides?

Steve Kerr 20 minutes before tipoff: "Okay fella's let's ease off tonight, let the CAVS WIN, so we can go home and win in front of our fans..... unbelievable, to say the least

Why is it; only sports-bettors that are perpetual losers, think like this, that a team, and their HC actually would forfeit a road game only to go home and WIN it all.. absolutely ridiculous

only Covers NBA forum can produce this type of opinionated nonsense, even the highly controversial Stephen A. couldn't come up with this concept..simply because it's nonexistent, NBA teams don't think like that...ever...especially in the Finals, where WINS are hard to come by..don't kid yourself into believing in this fable

You're just not getting what I am saying

The illusion was that he got fired. He still works for "Them"

Athletes are indeed actors. That's what I believe, I wouldn't get too worked up over what a stranger on the internet thinks.

Peyton great QB...horrible actor. Refer to the game where he fumbled the ball and tried to make it look like a raider knocked it out of his hands, he flailed his arms all wildly...LOL and NO raider ever touched the ball!

Explain how this is possible, without the players being actors. Let's see what you can come up with

Also I don't think you ever answered my question...If cavs win in 6 will you then believe the players are in on it? Or is there NOTHING in this world that can convince you of this fact?

Just like alternative media and alex jones....he appears to be working in favor of the people when really he is a shill

Same I would say goes for the EX- Ref who gambled on the games

He still wont tell you the truth in his books that's why he misleads people into believing that players aren't in on it

exactly my point why it won't happen again this year

Agree 100%.  Media industry has changed.  Who is the loudest, or "he said what?", How many Tweets / followers, draw attention to yourself = increased ratings = more viewers.  LESS and LESS people are tuning in for shows and live TV.

Donald Trump has this game mastered.

Bayless and Steven A too.  I lot of hot air or heat .....no light or  actual substance.

On the other hand, watching Peyton Manning this Fall as an NFL talking head will be like watching paint dry.

PS.  Cleveland is not done.  They will attack the hoop tonight and GS will be in foul trouble - all game.  Refs will have a slight Cleveland bias tonight.
