Every year, springtime brings fresh conspiracy theories about the NBA’s nefarious role in manufacturing popular postseason matchups. Almost every year, the league ends up with a finals matchup that suggests one of two things: 1) The NBA is not fixing the playoffs 2) The NBA is very bad at fixing the playoffs Looking at the [...]
