I don't believe it, but we're approaching the possibility that the conspiracy theorists may be right. Or at least, difficult to prove wrong. For those of you who aren't in the know, the conspiracy suggests that the NBA finals will definitely go 7 games. Why you ask? For the love of money, of course. Essentially, the theory posits that there is simply too much advertising revenue for the NBA and networks covering the finals to have it end in any number of games fewer than 7. I certainly don't buy it and in fact was willing to bet $1000 for anyone who would take lesser odds on the wager... but nobody did.
Looking at the last 5 games of the series, I'm surprised the lakers are still in it. They've played like crap. They've had moments of brilliance, but haven't been able to string together more than one quarter of decent ball. With that said, if the Lakers take game 6 in Boston, anything goes in game 7. The conspiracy doesn't get detailed about who will win game 7, only that there will be a game 7.
Is that why Tiger hit a 12 foot put to cause a playoff? Did the mafia control the ball into the hole? Is that why there was an 18 hole playoff instead of a sudden death match? For advertising? We may never know.
