 Video - NBA...spelled with an asterisk
Funny how the media-assimilated Jeff Van Gundy now has a drastically different opinion about NBA officiating in light of the League's biggest scandal. David Stern's continued denial of any fixing or manipulation is insulting to fans, players and this now-'tainted' game. Sure, Donaghy was wrong, but the NBA doesn't want to be right. Time for fans to take off the blindfold and demand the ...

    The NBA will not have any more problems like this. The NBA is fixed. Do not worry about this kind of stuff ever again. It is all fixed.

    I think it is fixed, but not in the way you mean, Ethan. Everyone wants every playoff series to go seven games, if possible. There is so much revenue to be made!

    And as for Van Gundy, the guy probably likes his job and would prefer to keep it.

    JVG changed his tune; therefore, the league is fixed.  In other logic:

    Kobe finally won the MVP; therefore, Pau is a better teammate than Shaq.

    The Celtics had the best record in the league; therefore, Doc is the top coach.

    Hillary waited until Saturday to concede; therefore, Obama is a secret Muslim.

      I like it. My dad used to say we all have vanilla ice cream in common, therefore, we all did it.

      My comment was just for fun.

      There are games fixed. We know that Donaghy did it. We do not know how many others there are.

      We would be foolish to think that he was the only one.

      I do not think that everything that Donaghy says is true, but maybe he will be the Jose Canseco of Basketball.

The NBA is Fixed. They have everything under control. Everything is Fixed. This whole scandal is behind them. David Stern has worked very hard to fix things. I think he has done a great job. The NBA is 100% fixed. This video from Odenized.

Tim Donaghy, NBA Conspiracy Theory Videos of the Day
Published 6/11/2008 at FanIQ Blog
As a result of the poorly officiated NBA Finals Game 2 and Tim Donaghy conveniently accusing the league of fixing the 2002 Finals the conversation throughout the reminder of this week will inevitably be focused around David Stern's promise that he'd offer us, the fans, more transparency. Last night, Jeff Van Gundy addressed the current situation and had a slightly different response to his calling out the NBA in regards to Yao Ming being singled out by officials. While the former Knicks and Rockets head coach is fairly critical, I'd love to know his real actual thoughts. ABC ...

Video: Jeff Van Gundy Comments on Donaghy
Published 6/11/2008 by Anthony Hall at MVN Outsider
I found it quite interesting to see how Jeff Van Gundy responded to the latest development in the Tim Donaghy saga — that is, the allegations that two referees fixed the outcome of Game Six of the 2002 Western Conference Finals series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings. The former coach commented on Donaghy during halftime of Game Three of the NBA Finals on Tuesday, and maintained a careful balance between being critical of the league and skeptical of Donaghy’s claims: Van Gundy deserves praise for his frankness about the need for more transparency when complaints are sent to the ...
