SAN ANTONIO
Meanwhile, in the locker room, one Suns assistant coach was heard cursing out Bruce Bowen, who does seem better equipped for the WWF than the NBA. Stop. It’s too easy to blame this loss on the officials.

That is exactly what they should have done since the report came out about the truth.

The NBA acknowledged Friday the FBI is investigating Tim Donaghy for betting on games, including ones in which he officiated.

Donaghy, who reportedly has resigned, was an NBA official for 13 years. He officiated 68 games in the 2005-06 season and 63 games in 2006-07, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. He also worked 20 playoff games, including five last season — and the Spurs-Suns on May 12.

Next year – things will be different – David Stern better wake up!

The FBI is investigating an NBA referee who allegedly was betting on basketball games – including ones he was officiating during the past two seasons – as part of an organized-crime probe in the Big Apple, The Post has learned. One source close to the probe counted the number of games on which the ref and his wiseguy buddies scored windfalls in the "double digits." NBA Commissioner David Stern is aware of the investigation and has a report about the referee on his desk, another source said. The official, whose name was withheld, allegedly wagered on games during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 NBA seasons.
Does this prove that games can be fixed? All those mysterious calls don’t seem so innocent now do they *cough wade cough*.

The FBI is investigating allegations that a veteran NBA referee bet on basketball games over the past two seasons, including ones in which he officiated.

According to a law enforcement official, authorities are examining whether the referee made calls to affect the point spread in games on which he or associates had wagered.

The law enforcement official said the bets involved thousands of dollars and were made on games during the 05/06 and 06/07

The FBI is investigating an NBA referee who allegedly was betting on basketball games – including ones he was officiating during the past two seasons.

The investigation, which began more than a year ago, is zeroing in on blockbuster allegations that the referee was making calls that affected the point spread to guarantee that he — and the hoods who had their hooks in him — cashed in on large bets.

That is bad dirt, should he be banned from basketball for life and go to prison? or fined and be fired? or all of the above if he is guilty?

after the news about the referee being caught by the FBI for illegal betting on games. Do you think the Spurs would have lost? And who would have won?
