CON to the SPIRACY.

"Everyone knows the NBA is in the pocket of Big Corn." tweets @steventurous.

"SMALL MARKET BIAS" tweets @TreyAdell.

The jokes are coming fast and furious like Vin Diesel and the Rock after the Pacers' 99-92 win over the Miami Heat came with the help of a few dubious late-game calls in their favor.

Yuck it up all you want, ladies & gents.  Just know that you're whistling past the graveyard.

This is all part of David Stern's biggest scam yet.

Wouldn't Pacers-Spurs be a nightmare scenario for the league, you ask?  Wouldn't it garner Spurs-Nets, basement-level ratings?

Yes, and yes -- and that's EXACTLY THE POINT.

Don't you get it?  Can't you see the forest through the trees?

By rigging this series in a direction the commissioner would never want it to go for any conventional reason... Stern's last, great, final deception is to convince all you SHEEP that he never rigged anything in the first place -- that since logic dictates that THIS series isn't what it appears to be... NEITHER WAS LAKERS-KINGS IN 2002.

The NBA:  Never. Believe. Anything.

You heard it here first.

(PS: The moon landing was totally fake.)
