To those following the NBA Conference Finals.. have you noticed anything?
I’ve always believed that the NBA is still a business. More games = more money. So it makes sense that the league would benefit from extending a series as much as possible.
With that said, do you believe there’s some level of conspiracy between the league management and the referees to help one team get more favorable calls, just to make sure the series goes longer?
Curious to hear your thoughts.
One game is valued at 10 million if I am not wrong or that's what I heard in a podcast so I won't be surprised if they are found doing something like that but it's unlikely to be cause the amount at stake is in billions or even more so if they try to make 10 million they are taking a huge risk of busting everything so it's professionally fair not like our suspicion.
And if ref is becoming biased then it will be obvious and they might take a hit so in this highly surveillance world it's not possible to play the cards in every possible way.
