Over the course of the game, it became obvious that something was wrong with the ball. Shot after shot bounced off the rim from even the slightest touch. I believe that the refs overinflated the ball so more shots would miss and they could successfully bet the under. Mark Cuban may have bribed the officials. I'm not exactly sure WHY they did it, but there is no doubt that a conspiracy against the Lakers took place last night.

A tampered ball lets the Lakers shoot as normal and when they lose, fans point to a poor shooting % rather than the large free throw disparity (32-14 in favor of the Mavericks). It was also a well known fact that Pau Gasol would not be playing, so the Lakers would be missing an interior scorer. Furthermore, it makes the free throws for the Mavericks give a larger advantage. As the deficit was built during the game, the Lakers were forced to shoot more 3's to catch up, but with the hyperinflation of the ball they could not make shots.

There were also the numerous horrible calls that favored the Mavericks. Just a small sample, like the phantom call on Artest and the incorrect out of bounds call, are featured in the video. Remember this video is just a selection to show something shady was going on. There were curious events throughout the entire game. I don't blame anyone who wants to pass this off as a Laker fan making excuses; that's what the officials want you to think. I'm hoping some people open their minds and start noticing the crimes that are being committed in every NBA game though.

  • Regularly inflated ball led to a 40 point Laker win.

    Vindication feels good.

  • "Dampier misses the free throw cuase he sucks." Lmfao.

  • Really? You're pathetic, especially since you are a Lakers fan. How about you post or watch videos of how the lakers have been favored by the NBA and David Stern for the past decade. Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals against the Kings ring a bell?

  • This is funny

  • THIS IS too DUMB!! LOL

  • the most retarded youtuve video and youtuve user ever

  • wtf? this is the worst video on youtube

  • the basketballs it 2k11 are over inflated too. they seem to bounce off the rim just like this.

  • Dude stfu, this is b.s. I'm from Detroit and I get pissed off even thinking about this crap. REALLY? The game against portland, and KINGS were both rigged , but when you guys complain that apparently the ball is " overinflated" that it's something so terrible. This was just a small dose of what other teams had to go through with the laker rigged games.

  • I wouldn't complain about one regular season game. There is very little reason to fix the the first game of a very long season. I do believe the ball was overinflated, but this happened to benefit the Mavericks.

  • Over a ball...

  • Over a damn ball...
