Is NBA officiating systemically rigged?
#10
I don't think it's quite as bad as it was in the Stern era but there are still a lot of games that are clearly slanted. I saw part of Lakers Blazers game 4 and I saw the Blazers getting hosed worse than anything I've seen in a while, I turned it off in disgust and learned after the game Lillard got an injury which I'm going to assume happened because it was open season on him.

Systemic rigging isn't exactly the right term though, I remember Donaghy saying that when they slant a game it's really a 75/25 proposition because sometimes the team you are trying to help plays so poorly they are beyond what help the refs can give. An example of the 25% happening is game 6 of the 2011 Finals, the refs were clearly trying to give that one to the Heat but giving them so many free throws didn't help because they bricked so many of them in that game and were just playing rattled in general
