32 to 51. Not really 14 to 80, lol. But I see your point.
Regardless, all superstars get calls. It's a fact. IMO, Wade gets the 'dinkiest' of them all, though. You barely have to touch him and he's shooting FT's.

It's the worst that I have ever seen it this playoff season. Even my own team is getting bogus calls for them (and plenty against them). Hopefully Stern looks at it closely soon enough... instead of defending it.

Can't believe I'm saying this.....but I actually agree with you on something.
Every game I've watched I've seen terrible calls. For and against both teams. Just an overall terrible officiated playoffs so far.

Let's be real here. The NBA/refs doesn't dictate who goes to the Finals.
If they REALLY wanted the Cavs there, wouldn't they have called a block on Deng at the end of Game Three? They called a terrible charge on LeBron, even though Deng wasn't set. Ended up being the difference in the game. If it was that big of a deal to the NBA, why would they even let the Bulls win one game? We need to get the Lakers and the Cavs to the finals as soon as possible!
I could point to a thousand other instances where the NBA hasn't favored the Cavs or the Lakers.
You somewhat answered your own question without seeing it. Why would the league let Chicago win 1 game. Easy, because they can't just make it so rediculous that everyone stops watching... thats why they win one game. If they didn't it would just feed the conspiracy even more and the league doesn't want that even though the agendas are very clear. The league wants teams in the final series that bring lots of revenue. The NBA is a business afterall and thats the bottom line. Last year with the magic was not supposed to happen, I can assure you that.

Alright....so in 7 years the Cavs have made the Finals once. Not 7 times. Explain that one.

Add Dirk to the list, Spurs couldn't even look at him without getting a foul called, especially in game 1...
LeBron defintly gets the worst on the calls, because he's so big, the refs dont give him the same calls Wade, Melo etc get

It must mean that the Cavs suck so much that they can't win even with Stern and the refs help?
!!!!Kidding!!!!
It's really all speculations whether the games are fixed or not. But we do know these things: a) refs are human and make mistakes b) Superstars tend to get calls their way (Jordan included) c) Home teams often gets calls their way d) Some refs have bet on games in the past e) David Sterns wants to make the most money possible f) Some calls in the NBA are really really suspicious.
So it's hard not speculate, but in the end, unless someone else besides that one criminal ref steps up with any details, it's all still speculation.
And also, games can only be fixed to a certain point without being obvious. Even if they try to fix games, it would be hard to let's say for the refs to take a crappy team all the way to the finals. In the end, the players' or teams' talents are probably the most crucial.

Its not a Cavs thing its want the NBA wants at the time. You can look at it through history Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Lakers, Celtics again... The teams always ahave a money making star and are good teams, but they are also helped along the way when they don't need it.

At least the refs are calling bogus calls both ways, so it makes it a little more even...it's not that the refs are siding with one team and one team only...they aren't doing an excellent job either way...so, in a way, I'm better with that than if they were calling bogus calls on one team, and next to nothing on the other team.
