Seriously Done with the NBA

i'm not joking when i say i'm over the NBA. after Tim Donaghy brought to light that the Kings/Lakers series of 2002 was fixed, i decided that was the last straw.

i wasn't so upset about the betting scandal, i mean, you have to think that this is happening in most sports on some level. But a team i spent my young life following, loving them even when the going was bad (it was never good), and for them to finally make the playoffs was awesome! the fact that we got to the Western Conference Finals and were playing against our rivals, the Lakers, and had the series lead 3-whatever, all we needed was a win and to lose was bad enough. through all of the bad calls, Robert Horry 3's, and media bias i was heartbroken, seriously, ask anyone around me that year, Kass, Tahoe, Isaac, my dad, anyone.

but now, after all this time wondering why Bibby was called for a foul after being hit in the face by Kobe we find out that the fix was in. its too much to take. the fact that this happen to my team, in my once in a lifetime chance to go to the Finals (and be the favorite) and to find about this scandal is too much. i hate the NBA. i hate the longer season, the playoffs setup, i hate slacker players, i hate the Spurs, i hate the ego's and gangsters, and now i really hate the history. there is no way to fix this, the NBA did a permanent thing in fixing this series and Kings fans, who could lose their team any time now, also lost out on a finals berth, among a million other things.

NBA, eff you.
