I am saying that there are multiple instances of corruption - and a clear understanding of how officials can impact outcomes of games. Do I think that game fixing is widespread? Of course not - there is too much scrutiny. Do I think that in the history of the last 20 years that officials have been given certain secretive directives that impact outcomes? How could you think otherwise with all the evidence of bias and corruption?
Of course they would - but the only people in a position to do so would be connected to the inner circle of NBA officiating - and unless they had an axe to grind there isn't much incentive to do so (not to mention they'd likely implicate themselves). David Stern isn't stupid. He probably operates similar to a mafia Don where he has a few trusted allies who do his bidding. Some of these officials have been around for decades. They know where their bread is buttered.

I'm inclined to believe Donaghy.
