Quote:TylerI mean seriously -- the NBA has to discipline the refs for this, right?...and that is borderline rigging the game. The game was still on the line at that moment. With three minutes to go and Booker sittting on 40 points, Booker could have easily hit two threes, iced the game, Phoenix goes up 3-1 and likely wins the title. All because the refs intentionally did not want to give Booker the 6th foul. It literally could have been the difference between who becomes NBA champion.

One intentional WRONG CALL, which I think is the definition of match-fixing. Imagine if a tennis player came out after a match and said: Well I botched the matchpoint on purpose, but then the other player won the match fair and square. Probably a life-time ban for the player.
