SI: DONAGHY MANIPULATED A CELTICS GAME


    I meant to post this the other day, but SI had a great story on what games Tim "Horse Face" Donaghy may have fixed. One of them was that Celtics-Sixers game from last year when the C's absolutely pasted the Iverson-less Sixers in the second half. He presided over one other blowout (Phoenix over the Heat missing Wade, Shaq, and Riley) that seemed pretty benign and a very sketchy OT win by the Raptors (cruising past the over/under). The sketchiest was this one, though:

    April 10: Nets 96, Wizards 92
    Favored by three points, the Nets held on against a Washington team missing Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler when DeShawn Stevenson drove the lane twice in the final minute and didn't draw a foul either time. The officiating crew of Donaghy, Joe Forte and Sean Wright had already made plenty of calls before that: The ragged game included 54 fouls and 73 free throws.
