I think we all believe this on some level, but I wonder if there is any truth to it? I believe the audio is from a recent radio interview:

I've never heard such a ridiculous question Shake. Of course they are.

Hate the Dodgers too?
The NBA has been rigging games for their superstars since at least the 90's. That's why I now hold it in lower regard then professional wrestling, who will at least admit what they’re doing is fake.

I've never believed conspiracy theories about leagues rigging games. It would just take ONE person in the NBA office to be rubbed the wrong way by Davis Stern, and come out and expose everything. The risk just isn't worth the reward of having an 8 seed Lakers team in the playoffs that will likely lose in the first round. It just doesn't make sense to do if you seriously think about it.

If the league is trying to get the Lakers to the playoffs, that should mean that tomorrow night the Utah Jazz should not get all of the calls they do at home when playing the Nuggets.

Thnik brought up conference finals, I was just responding to him. My point is I don't see how the Lakers being in the playoffs as an 8 seed is worth the risk of being exposed for rigging games. Anyone who has watched them play this year they would have no shot in hell at winning against the Spurs or Thunder in a series.
I need more than circumstantial evidence on a Youtube video to convince me otherwise. Seems to me like 999/1000 conspiracy theories are based more on paranoia and and circumstantial evidence than actual fact.
I really did post the video as a tongue in cheek response to what most people feel when watching NBA games. While I don't think there is anything that the league is expressly doing to get the Lakers into the playoffs, I do believe there is such a thing as favoritism and "superstar calls" that can swing a close game towards certain teams. I'm not saying there is a grand conspiracy, but it does seem like sometimes the refs swallow their whistles at the wrong time and blow them too readily at other moments. Cherry picking those instances in a youtube video proves nothing, I just wish foul calling in the NBA wasn't so subjective.
