NO, The players, coaches, owners, and fans have too much pride.

Nope although I thought this one was going to be over fast and it seems kinda weird...but no theres not any really good way to do it with the exception of officiating...and I think the officials have done a decent job so far...........oops I spoke too soon...it is obviously rigged...Stackhouse was suspended to insure a win when that didnt work the officials called more fouls for Wade than the entire Maverick team...and to top that off there was a phantom call at the end of the game..no doubt they were hell bent that the Mavs were not going to take that game. Guess the NBA is the new WWE.

Would be incredibly hard to rig the playoffs. Damn near impossible...too many people involved. Yet, some are suspicious because of some of the 'calls' (or no-calls) made by officials. HMMMMM, I wonder? Sure were a ton called against the Spurs in their series against Dallas (even at home). Some say this because the networks have to have a certain amount of games so they can keep advertisors happy (and paying). Does make you wonder...which do you think the networks/nba would rather have....Mavericks vs. Heat (2 high scoring teams...lots of energy) or another Spurs vs. Pistons series (grind it out defense)...think about it.
GO SPURS GO!

The NBA finals are not fixed. Do you think the commissioner sits the referees down and says do ths do that? Come on. What happens is teams make adjustments, start knowing were players are comfortable with the ball, which way they tend to go, which set they tend to run in certain circumstances etc etc. The Dallas Mavericks were simply outcoached. How are you going to run pick and roll with Eric Dampier for game???? Ha Ha!

All professional sports are fixed in some way, shape, or form. Every player may not be in on it, but there is a certain outcome that is pre-determined.
David Stern is a business man first. He knows more than anyone else in sports how to draw interest and make money; this is why he fixes it.

I doubt it, but to play devil's advocate, there is a possibility that refs and coaches are instructed to make decisions that will result in close games, and therefore a close series. The resulting viewer ratings would mean more revenue. I've often wondered the same thing, and I think it might be possible.

I surely hope not but how else can you explain Dallas playing so well in the first two games and so poorly in the last two? No way should Miami be on the floor with Dallas but now the series is even. You tell me; FIX OR NO FIX.

no i dont think so because they really want to win a national championship like the team does, and why would they have the Heat win 4 games straight. I think the teams try as hard as they can because they really want to win a national championship.

I think it would be near impossible to rig. It would have to be too big a cover-up.
