honestly NBA fans the NBA has gotten worse because of the attitudes of the players and refs betting on games but, the celtics will not win a series in this playoffs easily despite the east being terrible and them being the best…. how does a sub .500 team win 3 games against them… honestly
and fyi college basketball is 100 times better and more competitive and the teams actually play something called defense which might be new term to NBA fans
I get the feeling it’s fixed also. I mean, most of the Celtics/Cavs games are so messed up. I mean, Game 1, Lebron making the shot but no foul from Posey, costing them the game. Come on, that was SO fixed so the ref wouldn’t be flamed by the Celtics fans. And that Technical on Doc Game 3, what the hell was that? They are playing with the crowd the way I see it, and the NBA has got to control this, because this is seriously bothering fans.
Some people say that it might be the players. Well, who calls the fouls and gets the Cavs about 20 extra points from Free Throws? There ya go.

Personaly I feel the same way sometimes about all sports But, its all in my head. Are you mad because you just realised your Celtics aren’t as great as you thought they were? Maybe you should wait till after the playoffs are over to jump on a team bandwagon.

Fixed??? Three phenomenal athletes joining forces for a one season miracle. They are great but the playoffs are a whole different ball game. You spend more time evaluating your opponent. In the regular season you lose and shake it off. Playoffs you lose and you get closer to getting eliminated and your goal gone. Cavaliers have more playoff experience and great D. The Hawks played with more heart that series. They knew that this the Finals wasnt going to be given to them. Celtics were in a comfort zone and got caught in a mess. Although Garnett said they learned from the Atlanta series, they havent proven it. No doubt they can still do it. One thing you have to understand about the Cavs is they have an ability to adjust which hasnt faded with the new additions. Ask the Pistons, they definitely will be working very hard this year if they have to face the Cavs. They dont want to disappoint again. Pistons learned their lesson somewhat and try not to belittle the opponent.

Just because one idiot bet on the games doesnt mean they all do. as far as the hawks winning 3 games is that they are a tough match up for the celtics…all thier wing players are young and athletic and the celtics couldnt match up with thier quickness. Gotta give the hawks some credit they are a better team than what their record showed. It took awhile for bibby to really get going with them once he came over in the trade. They got some real good peices and only need a little time to grow togeher. Plus somehow the celtics have forgot how to win on the road. Takeing bad shots at the wrong time. People think the east is so easy to win but there are good teams just because not every team in the playoffs had over 50 wins doesnt mean there is less talented teams. It wasnt all that long ago that the east was the dominant conference. When teams win its hard to get players in the draft that are superstar type of players the way that the west has right now. In a couple yrs it will swing back to the east being the stronger conference with the young guys getting better and more experience. 2 of the last 4 champions have come from the east so the east can still win. Remember a team from the east doesnt have to beat all teams from the west to win the championship just the one that made it to the finals.

And what is your question…
Seriously, people come on this page to ask questions not make statements.
If that was the case it would be called "Yahoo Statements" or "Angry Yahoo Rants"
Plus, you need to settle down, I mean if you feel so strongly about this that you have to vent on Yahoo Answers then you need:
1. A life
2. Anger Management Classes
3. To stop watching the NBA if you hate it so bad.

You are soooooo wrong!
If the NBA is fixed the Spurs wouldn’t have won multiple championships and NY would have won at least one in the last 30 years, for example.
NCAA better than NBA?. Wrong!
- The NBA has the best players in the world.
- The NBA gives each team the chance to win it all. It depends if the owner is committed and good management. Collage hoops is unfair because some like North Carolina, UCLA put a lot money. Others can’t compete for being small.
- Collage basketball is quite rotten. Players receive gifts (OJ Mayo, eg) and break the rules, players that stay one year (shouldn’t a university be a place to get an education instead being a showcase for pro sports?), players that sign for moronic classes and sometimes don’t even attend. Amateur sport? yeah, right…
I rather watch Kobe, LBJ, CP3, AI.
Jordan in NC was good. Jordan with the Bulls was awesome. Enough said.

It’s professional sports.
It’s entertaintment.
It’s business.
It’s like WWE.
During the offseason, the league decides on who will win the title. The league prepares for the June matches.
Each team has 82 games to rehearse for the playoffs, and for the finals.
Of course, the NBA will deny such is the case.
To be fair to the NBA, I’m just entertaining you.
I love the NBA. It’s fun. There’s no other sport like it. Except for the WNBA.
The WNBA is more exciting!
