NBA Finals are scripted

The day the NBA suspended Green is the day I saw the NBA turn into the WWF. Series would have been over in 5.

The NBA has spent millions developing their brand tied with LeBron James, still the most popular athlete in American sports. Look at the overall #1 "lottery" picks. Cleveland gets Kyrie in 2011 by working a deal with the Clippers. Fair deal. However, back to back #1 picks in 2013 and 2014 (16% and 1.7% chances) defy all probable odds.

If you don't think the NBA is more concerned with developing their brand and selling TV ad time and stretching every finals out to 7 games, you should look again.

Game 7 was the most watched game since 1998. Sell the product. Sell the story.

and we didn't land on the moon.

If the moon landing was filmed today by Disney/ABC/ESPN it would a 12 part reality mini series stretched out over 2 weeks.

And Neil Armstrong would have his own logo, clothing line and cologne.

Oh yes, of course...

The day the NBA suspended Green is the day I saw the NBA turn into the WWF. Series would have been over in 5. Correct. Those 3 games the Cavs beat the Warriors when they did have Green - including game 7 when he went HAM - never happened.

The NBA has spent millions developing their brand tied with LeBron James, still the most popular athlete in American sports. No reason for him to be popular, not like he was on the cover of SI at 17 or he's gone to the NBA finals 7 straight years. Look at the overall #1 "lottery" picks. Cleveland gets Kyrie in 2011 by working a deal with the Clippers. Fair deal. However, back to back #1 picks in 2013 and 2014 (16% and 1.7% chances) defy all probable odds. You know it, and what was really dastardly was how they took Anthony Bennett in 2013 and made him into the Hall of Famer he is. Lebron? HA! Anthony Bennett is who pushed the Cavs to the Finals the past two seasons. And who could forget 2014, when they managed to get rid of that piece of crap Andrew Wiggins for Larry Bird Kevin Love.

If you don't think the NBA is more concerned with developing their brand and selling TV ad time and stretching every finals out to 7 games, you should look again. You're nailing the NBA to the WALL, pointing out how 5 series since 1989 have gone 7 games.

Game 7 was the most watched game since 1998. Sell the product. Sell the story. Right again, because who on earth would want to watch a Game 7, on a Sunday, between two crappy teams, with no stars and zero compelling storylines.

You've done some fine detective work today, sir. BRAVO!!!

Did you know George Bush orchestrated 9/11? And the illuminati killed Prince because he was a whistle blower?

I guess those two JR Smith threes were scripted. I guess that big block by James was scripted. I'm waiting for the audio to leak of James yelling during the play, "slow down Andre, I'm supposed to block this!"

Draymond Green was suspended because he amassed too many techs, and he seemingly has a proclivity to dish out nut shots. He's the only one to blame for his suspension. He should've been suspended in the OKC series for that crap. Curry should have been suspended for hurling his mouthpiece into the stands, and he would have if it had been a regular season game.

I'm hearing a lot of "whaaaa whaaaa whaaaa" with your post.

Did you also think the 2004 ALCS was scripted?

Such a dumb *** thread
