Playoffs 2013 - Eastern Conference Finals: (1) Heat vs (3) Pacers
- Thread starter kingsnation

I hope you are not serious, because NBA is not into such devious "fix." Most importantly, it would not make much if any TV rating sense and here's why. Indiana is one of if not the most basketball crazy states (not just city, but state) in entire nation. The population of Indiana is around 6.5 M and they are very into their Pacers a much older pro basketball franchise than Heat. Miami metro has population about 5.5 M - plus nowhere near as basketball fanatical as Indiana. While population of Florida is 4th largest in U.S. at slightly over 19 M, the Sunshine State actually has three divided NBA loyalties. South Florida (mainly Miami metro) is naturally Heat territory, middle Florida is all about Orlando Magic with probably larger fan base to include not only Orlando but Tampa/St. Petersburg, with wide swatch of Central Florida I-4 corridor extending all the way to other coast (Atlantic). The bizarre third distinct fan base occurs all along the Red Neck Riviera in panhandle plus Georgia border area where those Floridians have traditionally rooted for Atlanta Hawks to include Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Panama City, Pensacola, etc.

after this game you come with conspiracy theories?!? after Miami had these two *huge* calls going against them in the end? LeBron's sixth is basically never getting called and the travel against Wade wasn't a travel. Indiana is probably winning this game anyway, but still, I'd have thought these calls might have prevented conspiracy talk.
the point isn't that the calls were incorrect (although I still don't see the Wade travel), the point is that, if there were any conspiracy, those calls wouldn't be made. yet, they were, in Indy's favour. so let's all just stop complaining about stuff being fixed that noise is distracting from the awesome series unfolding here and I'd much rather focus on that.+
good grief. oh well, you see what you see, I'll be over here watching basketball.

People call it "fix" because all the BS Heats can get away with and Heats knew it, you can tell by how they flop, push and flying elbow. You can call it conspiracy, fix, "superteam" call or whatever.
The call went Indy way right after Kerr and company call them out on the side, and after the commerial they try to twist it by saying the shot clock is at a nertual site wtf is that?
