Look I Don't Normally Buy the NBA Conspiracy Theories.... But Look at This...

This is why I wish people would just stfu about the refs. Everyone gets screwed by the refs, they whine like crazy, the refs compensate (no guarantee which direction), and then more people get screwed, then more complaining, and the circle of suck continues.

The NBA refs have fragile egos and double down....NBA players and coaches constantly think the world is against them and complain no matter what. Hate it. Bad actors on all sides.

The Luka tech being rescinded is a bigger NBA conspiracy

As evidenced in the OP's link, Luka get a TON of calls in his favor, so his little gesture has 2 thoughts in my mind.

1. If anyone knows about refs doing "favors" it would be him

2. Generally speaking his little gesture will go one of two ways, the way of the LAL getting more calls or getting no calls. Just look at Gobert when he complained and the next game against HOU @Utah, foul on the opening tip and then T'd up and ejected.

Remember when the Jazz and the Lakers were in a tight playoff race in the 2013 season? Suddenly the Jazz couldn't get to the FT line, while the league drowned the Lakers in FT's. The most egregious example:

4/7/2013: Utah @ Golden State

Utah's first free throw attempt came with 4:41 left in the third quarter. They finished with only 7 total FT's for the game.

4/12/2013: Golden State @ LA Lakers

The Lakers got 50 (!!!) freethrow attempts this game. They needed all of them to eek out a very narrow 2 point win. (The Warriors got just 16 FT's).

You brought back my PTSD from the DWIll, Boozer and Okur playoffs against the LAL, people have posted YouTube videos of the fouls called against Utah and the no calls down the stretch of the 4th Qtr but I'm working and too lazy to look for it.

I mean follow that to its conclusion. Are you saying the league and officials colluded and said we need to blatantly help the Lakers and make better calls for them than opponents? If you believe such a thing could happen or does happen, why would you even care about the sport anymore?

It's not hard for me to imagine the refs being embarrassed by that missed call, and having an inherent bias for Laker games since that happened. Outright collusion and fixing games though? Nah.

Have you ever played an ouija board with friends? Nobody consciously came together to decide what it would say, but the game manifests the collective desire of its participants.

NBA is rigged

OK, so after last night's game I might be a true believer. Some of the most damning evidence is the player's reaction when they don't get a call go their way. When the Lakers don't get a 50/50 call they are in utter disbelief, suggesting they rarely see that happen.

The calls were absolutely not 2 sided last night. Did I care last night? No, because anything more level and we would have won. Anthony Davis annoys me more than any player in the NBA, drama. Whether it’s rigged…meh. The jazz are a hard team to ref right now bc on almost every possession we are penetrating and attacking the rim with contact every play. Can’t call them all. When the lakers do the same thing, less often, they get the whistle much more frequent with drives
