so this happened yesterday
The NBA accidentally posted these games in the Events tab of their Facebook page. Notice that the teams are listed as Golden State and Cleveland BEFORE the Warriors finished their "miraculous comeback," winning four straight games after being down 3-1. Keep in mind that the number of times a team has pulled off a comeback like that, ever, in the history of the 7 game series, WAS still in the single digits, with this year's warriors being the 10th.
I HATE this kind of shit and try my damndest to ignore it.
But when there's THAT kind of money involved in something, you never know
Here is the story from GQ
And then there was the time my Dallas Mavericks opened up a 2-0 lead against the Heat in the finals, but Miami made a miraculous comeback that featured Jerry Stackhouse being suspended for a highly contested flagrant foul on Shaq, which Shaq later said was "lighter than a love tap from one of his daughters," Dwayne Wade setting an NBA finals single game free throw record after going to the line more times than all of the mavericks combined, and Wade setting another finals record with like 100 fucking free throw attempts in six games, averaging sixteen attempts per game.
The next year, referee
Tim Donaghy plead guilty to fixing and betting on games and later testified
that the already controversial 2002 Lakers-Kings finals were, in fact, fixed.
Being a rabid basketball fan, i've tried to push the Tim Donaghy shit out of my mind, and now we have this facebook insanity.
GodDAMNIT i wish i hadn't heard about it
Dear God, PLEASE let Donaghy be a filthy liar and the facebook fiasco just an honest mistake. Please?
