Atlanta took the Knicks to 6 games. If the refs were deciding the games, shouldn?t it have been a sweep for NY?. 1st game of the next round Philly had 24 foul calls against them and the Knicks had 25. Game two had 23 fouls for Philly, 20 for NY. Most recent game 25 foul calls for Philly, 21 for NY.

I do think the officials slant games, but they are not deciding games. If they were the Bucks and Nuggets wouldn?t have won recently. It would be large market teams only.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

As much as many people buy conspiracies to a fault, I tend to deny conspiracies to a fault.   In most cases the logic fails to work for me. I don?t think refs could actually be conspiring with NBA brass to purposely call games in favor of certain teams. Too many people would have to know about it, and the more people who know the more likely it gets revealed. To think there isn?t a law-abiding, honest one among all these people?  No one who would put their foot down either out of a sense of morality or fear of getting caught, losing their job, losing freedom?  I don?t buy it. Yes, a rogue ref could do it as we?ve seen, but a conspiracy just takes one link to break it open and I just doubt this is happening in the NBA. And I would bet my left arm that every NBA fan base thinks it?s their team is that is being cheated.

I also don?t believe Dallas was rewarded with Flagg for trading Luka.
