just in tickets they are making almost 2 million dollars, not to mention concessions. Doesn't it seem strange that there has only been one sweep in the whole post season? Almost every team has gone to game 7. Heres some more math: 7 X 2,000,000 = 14000000$$$$$. Thats a lot of money. let's say that theres a sweep....math: 4 X 2,000,000 = 8,000,000$. So with seven games the club makes over 6 million more than in 4. I'm not saying I agree with this, but it is a good point. These players are being payed thousands of dollars each game, if they are told to throw a game they do it..... could this be a reason why they get paid so much? basketball wouldn't be that fun if you know who's going to win, would it?
My friend brought up a great point, how would it be possible for KG to get as pumped as he does if he just knows that he's going to lose? Is it that he's just a great actor, or is everything I'm saying a load of crap? Good question, think about it. Money drives everything that most people do, if you had the opportunity to make 14 million in approximately 21 hours, would you take it? I sure as hell would. All I'm saying is, I don't understand how a team like Celtics plays a team like the hawks and go to game 7, same goes for the Cavs. People love watching their team play in real life, people would pay anything to get what they love. Inferior teams like the Hawks and the Cavilers should not be going to game 7 with great teams like the Celtics. Yeah, teams have off games, players have off games.... but only to a certain extent. All I'm saying is MONEY IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

Good point but I still dont think games are rigged. Theres just too much that has to go into throwing a game. From the Refs to the players to the coaches. However i still think that more refs are betting and Donaghy wasnt the only. All im saying is that these guys are paid to play basketball not to act. KG's emotion is genuine. He's been like that His whole career.
The reason the Celtics went to 7 games with the Cavs is because Lebron is THAT good. He's doing what Kobe is doing now and what Jordan did in his prime. Lebron just needs a legit Robin to his Batman.
But how can we know for sure that these players are being paid to play basketball and not act?.....I don't actually think this is the case...I just like to psychoanalyze it...haha.
