Stern threatens to send Bavetta to "Game 6" the Rockets!

[Bartking]

Unless Van Gundy signs the confession that Stern has had typed up for him, Stern said he will send Dick Bavetta to referee Game 7 and give the Rockets the "Game 6 treatment!" Can you believe it????

Umm, yes?

Dick don't give nobody "The Treatment", cause he always refs the same, poorly.

Edit: Not nice, Bartking.

My sentiment is the same. If Stern doesn't ease up on his "dictatorship" he will lose fans for the NBA.

 

[Bartking]

OK, I made up the story after reading the latest about JVG and how he might just say that he had no inside source, but I wouldn't be surprised if:

a) Bavetta referees
b) Rockets don't quite get a fair shake

I'm sorry. I'm having a BBQ with the guys here and Bibby and Peja put me up to it after about we'd drunk about a million bottles of Guinness!

Hey, don't even try to blame it on Bibby when you know darn good and well that it came from his neighbor.

Stern is making Van Gundy use a game plan drawn up by Jim O'Brian.

OMG - in that case, who are the Mavs playing next?

 

[quick dog]

Would it not have been better for the NBA and Stern himself if he had ignored Van Gundy's remarks? Now everyone knows there is really something there.

Not funny BartKing! This issue is still too sensitive to discuss.

Not even NBA refs can lock in a 40 point spread.

I think you're right. When it gets to 30 points, they probably just give each other a secret signal to call the conspiracy off and ref it straight-up!
