Gambling is getting more ink than Basketball...

The NBA and the NBA media are talking more about gambling than the games!

Really a black eye for the league.... Tim Donaghy  wishes he was still calling games but enough of his old plays still ref games that he's probably making a nice piece of change through betting services.

Shai gets a better whistle than anyone I've ever seen in the NBA.

Unlike many here I don?t believe the league is corrupt.  If I did, I wouldn?t watch. I don?t think refs manipulate games in favor of league-preferred teams.  It doesn?t bother me if people think that?s a naive perspective, I think you?re wrong, and none of us actually knows. Betting, if you think games are fixed is probably not too smart unless you?ve got inside information

I have never placed a sports bet only because it doesn?t interest me. I have nothing against betting but I definitely do find NBAs focus on betting annoying at times.  I wish it was less of an emphasis and not the pretty consistent barrage of advertising and betting lines.  That said, I only find it a little annoying and not really that big a deal.  But all things equal, I?d prefer less.
