Not having Lithuania feels so wrong... Not sure why only 12 teams are qualified, 16 would be great.

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 5, 2021 ---

1. Usa >> Spain >> Australia

2. Argentina = France > Italy

3. Slovenia > Germany > Czech

4. Nigeria >> Iran > Japan

Dunno if the sorting was exactly like this but that's the first impression I got. I wouldn't mind switching places with Italy...

I would’ve liked the Serbs to make it too. If I’m right, they have a starting 5 that consists of MVPs from different leagues around the world. Sure, they might pale in comparison to Jokic, but I don’t think it’s something to scoff at.

I’m also keeping my eye on Italy and Mannion. He put up some sweet numbers during qualifying, so I’m eager to see how he does throughout the tournament.

And then if Harden was healthy it'd be a wrap. Injured Harden + fit Kyrie and KD still too much for the Suns/Clippers to overcome imo although Suns would stand a better chance of getting more games in a series than the Clippers.

Suns beating the Clippers in 5?

looooool
If Harden was healthy, he'd probably make one or two more 3s than he did. He's way too overrated.

Dame basically threw him under the bus before he got announced hahaha

No worries, I'm used to you being a disappointment who's wrong, like in this case. Bucks are gonna win, most likely.

Sighs the Bucks got one

NBA literally put a ref that historically shits on CP3 and is suspected of match fixing, lol...

eh, that's life. I'm sure their goal was to get as much profit as possible.

If the NBA was any serious that wouldn't be the case, no. But alas

 

[M3J]

But more games means more revenues in advertising and tickets, and more viewership. Plus, for a finals game, people don't want to see a sweep, yeah?

 

[scav]

nba is not rigged, its just have garbage egocentric refs.

i also wonder how many of those refs are secretly involved in gambling, i don't think Donaghy is an isolated case. If it wasn't that guy trusting his friends so much and the fbi getting a lead from that, he would've never been found out. For the Nba he was totally a good refs who made no mistakes like the rest.

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 15, 2021, Original Post Date: Jul 15, 2021 ---

that kinda speak volumes on how the nba turn a blind eye on refs affecting the outcome however they want.

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 15, 2021 ---

went to revisit that old gem. prob nonsense with some truth in it.

Disgraced Former Ref Tim Donaghy Says Mavericks Were 'Screwed' out of 2006 Title

Disgraced former NBA referee Tim Donaghy said he believes the Dallas Mavericks were screwed out of an NBA championship during their 2006 matchup with the Miami Heat ...

i believe it's not rigged, but nba know their refs very well and their tendencies. So it def wasn't a coincidence they put scott foster in game 3

 

[M3J]

I think it's rigged only to the point of extending serieses, but other than that, it likely is up to the refs. Like yesterday, Booker should have been fouled out, but he was able to stay in the game.

Good luck to the Bucks.

I don't really follow a team in the NBA but would like Giannis to win, he's one of my favs. Steven Adams is my fave overall, then Giannis, Zion and Joe Ingles.
