Irrational Conspiracy Theory Time

Does Adam Silver desperately want Shams’ biggest dream to come true, that being Giannis asking out due to an underperforming Bucks team? Has he instructed the refs to tank close games for them thinking it’ll get Giannis to ask out? We all know the Luka trade leading to Cooper to Dallas is pretty sketchy, who’s to say he doesn’t want another star going to a big market to increase media coverage and viewership?

Before you say anything, obviously similar things have happened in games. Giannis also underperformed himself tonight, Sabonis owned him on the glass all night and he was too scared to pummel inside and settled for lots of middies in the first 3.5 quarters.
