nba playoffs script

one reason i like charles barkley is, through instinct, inlettigence, or naivety, he says what a lot of people are thinking but most if not all are afraid ti so... he is not pc... he does not toe the company line... and many times, he speaks truth no one wants to hear or believe... the scripted nba, for instance... for years people swore wrestling wasn't scripted, foolish fans... the nba is obviously scripted to some extent, maybe a lot... what is obvious is the same physical interaction between players can happen a hundred times during a game and a few times it's called a foul, purely at the referee's discretion... and too often those specific foul calls come at points in a game that turn momentum toward one team or another... too often those specific foul calls determine who wins a game or a series... so thank you charles barkley...

"i know the nba wants miami in the final, but come on man" ~ charles barkely

he (and shaq and keey on tnn, were remarking about the ridiculous referee calls betweem commercial breaks and this particular statement was made supporting shaq and kenny's similar statements during a review of the biased calls by the refs during game the first half of game two of the conference finals... ridiculous technical fouls on indiana, while miami is alllowed to argue and provoke much more than indiana does and nothing is called... i am waiting for them to notice how many 3-second violations are called against indiana just as someone is going in for an easy layup... besides the ridiculous disparity in foul calls, 3-second violations taking away point opportunities from indiana and giving more point opportunities to miami is the rule the refs follow...
