Tim Donaghy Suns/Spurs FIXED

[CuseFan10]

An interesting point on the Suns/Spurs Game 3 (which seems to further the argument that this could have been a fixed game) where Donaghy and his mob "buddies" had the OVER and the Spurs -5 is that in Game 2 the teams shot a combined 35 free throws and in Game 3 both teams shot 63 free throws. SAS shot 36 and PHX shot 27.

They "won" the game 101-101?
Something IS fishy there!
lol.

Ha, obvious typo. Thats funny! That is the only example I've seen that is blatantly obvious. I know they said something like 28 of the 163 games he refereed in the past two years had "consensus Vegas line movement of 2 or more points". Vegas line movement though is not a factor here IMHO because these guys were obviously betting offshore, and not through Vegas.

Two games I know of were Sixers/Raptors on January 15th and Rockets/Suns on January 17th. Sixers opened -1 and Raptors closes -1.5 and won by 18 or something. Suns opened at -4.5 and closed at -8, but McGrady didn't play that night so the line movement can be attributed that I'd guess. That game the Suns won by 9 after being down 15 in the 1H.

After January 1st they've found I think 11 examples of line movement in Donaghy's games and 7 of the 11 cashed with the line movement.

Some of those calls were definately bogus but how does Donaghy convince the rest of the crew to make bad calls as well?

I personally think there are more referees involved in this. We shall see in time, because Donaghy will be arrested and then he will sing like a sparrow when the time comes I would assume. I'm not necessarily saying I think those two guys were involved, but I my guess is that more refs are involved.

I remember watching this and thinking it was so bad it was a joke. There are plenty more if you look up Donaghy's name on YouTube involving calls for Wade and against Bosh, etc etc....

The NBA is completely ****ed. There are definitely more officials involved, IMHO and if they discover players are as well it's really going to be an atrocity of epic (sports) proportion.

The line was Spurs -5 and th O/U was 201. It's comforting to know that the team that won the championship got there (in part) because of a fixed game. Breen and Barry's comments are priceless. You can tell they almost wish they could say, "If I didn't know better, I'd think this game was fixed?"
