Tim Donaghy

So he's the implicated NBA ref that supposedly threw games in order to affect the over/under for games.

He also worked game 3 of the spurs/suns series.

As if the NBA didn't have enough problems already

This is a very huge slap against the NBA's face right now. I have no idea how they are going to handle this, especially with these allegations that he may name "other names" involved in the gambling ring with him. Wow. Gooddall has to deal with players getting arrested, Stern has to deal with the refs gambling, Selig has to deal with the whole steroids issue. who is going through the toughest times right now?

btw, I heard last night that he'd hit the over 15 games in a row. um...

i remember ESPN a couple of nights ago they were posting some statistics, and they calculated out of all of Tim Donaghy's games he reffed compared to the rest of the refs, his games had the most fouls called, the most technical fouls called, and the most free throws attempted.

but speaking of investigating all the referees who may be involved, they should also investigate the players too. they could have helped him shave some points.

man this is starting to get real ugly. this is almost as worse as the "point shaving scandals" in the past.

anyway, I'm not sure whether this is better or worse than the ASU thing in the 80s.

If it goes beyond Donaghy, yeah, but at the moment, it's just one guy. There are so many people screaming about how it was so obvious, but if there was ever a case where the old 'hindsight is 20/20' saying applies, this is it.

I wish the Spurs are involved (which is very likely) and Stern will send them down to the NBDL like they did in Italy

you know what? that would be great if the NBDL and the NBA banned together, and have the NBDL be the second tier league to the NBA, where the real crappy teams in the NBA get demoted to the NBDL, and the good NBDL teams would get promoted to the NBA. i don't think that could happen anyways, due to market value and revenue costs, but hey, it's always good to dream, right?

they have never finished better than .500 in a season, this year is their 10th season, and their best seasons are 70 wins, 2 69 win teams. in their 1st 69 win season, wilson alvarez was their best starting pitcher with 9 wins!, and in their 2nd season, albie lopez was their best pitcher with an 11-13 record. in their 70 win season, mark hendrickson was 10-15, and victor zambrano was 9-7. that is bad.

yeah, but at least those other cities would get some money kicked their way, and wouldn't have to battle with $200 million dollar payrolls. wtg unrestricted free agency, guaranteed contracts, no revenue sharing, & no luxury cap. Selig, Selig, he's our man! If he can't do it, someone else can!
