The players know ( whether fans choose to believe it or not ) there is A LOT of politics in sports. The political motivation is based on the ” all mighty dollar “…..SURPRISE !!!

I mean really, if I was the owner of a business and research proved that I can make a Billion dollar profit by working in L.A. or make a few Million by doing the same exact work in Memphis….guess what……I’M WORKING IN L.A.

I wouldn’t care what my priest had to say, my wife or my momma…….it would be L.A. or Bust ! Fans are so naive to believe that the NBA and team owners have not ran the numbers. They all benefit in the long run, even the sorry teams because the NBA brand becomes more solvent.

Don’t blame me, stern, dubya or anybody else…….it’s called CAPITALISM !!!

I wish these were Vegas odds… I’ll lay a couple G’s on the Heat & Spurs.

You’d imagine that this was taken in early December, before the Heat went on their run (20 wins out of 21 games).

I am not a Heat fan but only 3 percent, even I as a schmuck give them a much better chance than the players.

Shocker. The NBA is rigged and the only two teams that bring ratings in the finals are the Lakers and the Celtics. No one in this poll is intuitive, they’ve just watched David Stern’s era of the NBA for too long.
