A Nets-Pistons Game Reviewed in HBO Report on Donaghy

A December 2006 Nets game will be scrutinized Tuesday in an HBO report on Tim Donaghy's dealings with gamblers. Bryant Gumbel talks with one of the gamblers and reviews game tape, finding Donaghy made three times more calls against the Nets --favored to win by 1.5 points-- than against the Pistons. The Nets lost 90-82. It was among the first games Donaghy officiated after making his deal with gamblers.

This comes as no surprise. I’d love to know how many other games the Nets have been robbed of by gamblers and cheating officials since it alweays seem we come out on the short end of games decided by questionable calls. Let’s not forget Donaghy alleged that “Knick” Bavetta gave the Cavs that crucial game against us in the ’93 playoffs by getting Drazen in immediate foul trouble. As much as I love the NBA, it is sad that many of the big games are fixed (just like in college).

This just makes me sick. There were lots more bads calls against the nets than against the knicks saturday. You can’t just say the refs are part of the court anymore. No, now they’re a hostile force. Maybe an evil force.

The nba should have more then 3 officials for a game. I am sick of the refs controlling the game. If u look at VCS presser he even talks about the non calls. I HATE DONAGHY

Why does it seem like the Nets are the team that has gotten screwed over by Donaghy the most?

Yea, the ghost of Donaghy was at the game Saturday.
The NBA…“I LOVE this travesty!”

If HBO wants to review a fixed game they should watch that debacle from Saturday.
