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.

I could remember referee Scott Foster
. People literally called him The Extender. 
if you follow the NBA even a little, you should know how teams that are trailing in playoffs somehow end up winning by Foster's officiates. That's why he achieved such a funny nick 
Also, I could recall a long time ago one ref, can't remember his name right now, alleged that some company men were working behind to extend the series from game 6 to 7. They just wanted to boost the NBA's revenue by prolonging the series.
So yeah, I think such a claim is not new here, something always happens behind the scenes in NBA. Basically, more games = more money
