2009 NBA Playoff Predictions

Yea, because we all know Stern likes the Cavs. Look at all the terrible calls they got all season long.

Stern will do everything in his power to get the Cavs to NOT win a Championship in hopes that LeBron leaves Cleveland for his beloved Knicks.

What does David Stern have to do with Lebron and Kobe battling it out for the championship? He can't control the game or the way they play.

He runs the NBA he can do whatever he wants. He can't control the entire aspect of the game but what he can control he does. He tells the refs to call fouls when they aren't there and vice versa against the other team. It was pretty obvious last year when the Celtics met the Lakers in the finals. Hmm....old school rivalry.....which leads to ratings. Last year was the most watched NBA Finals in a long time. You don't think David Stern capitalized off of that. If LeBron goes to the Finals this year guess what even more ratings or what Stern is concerned with even more money.

Take it how you want but you seen with the Donaghy incident that the NBA refs are corrupt.

Okay that is a bad theory you have there. He doesn't tell the Refs anything. he just sits back and lets it all happen.

Your going to tell me the Lakers and Celtics weren't the two best teams last year? Cause that's what i saw.
