Obviously its impossible to outright fix the games as the players would have to be complicit in the scheme. The NBA is the only sport that is able to outright influence games because of the free throw line. Wanna know when a game is going to be heavilfy influenced? Any time a team gets into the bonus within the first 4 minutes of a quarter. Thats 8 minutes where any foul, even an offensive foul, results in free throws.
Interesting fact, only 4 times in David Sterns 27 years as commish has the NBA not had one of the America's top 5 TV markets in the Finals. By comparision during the same 27 years, it has happened 15 times in the NFL, 15 times in the NHL and 11 times in the MLB.
