I certainly don't think the "betting and rigging" is a thing with refs right now after the scandals of prior years, but we have plenty of evidence and moral certainty that the league is doing the rigging thing, for its own perceived benefit ***right freaking now*** with the L.A. (Silver) Lakers.
Porter's lifetime ban is the height of hypocrisy from where I'm sitting, but maybe I'm just full of the same crap you humbly accuse yourself of having issues with.
I could not agree more!! Porter should be banned for life. But something HAS to be done regarding the free throws discrepancy awarded to the Lakers. Last night is a perfect example NO made 8 more buckets from the field netting them +11 (Lakers made 5 more 3’s) but received 14 less free throws making them -15 at the line resulting in a 4 pt loss. I know some of the FT were strategic end of game stuff but still. Lakers shoot far more FT than any other team in the league and it’s not even close. It’s time for the league to step up and put and end to this travesty. A foul is a foul regardless of team or player. Rules have to be enforced fairly or game becomes unwatchable.
