You cannot prove anything if you play like God who gives reason case by case no matter what. You cannot prove it by just claiming any result pre-arranged.
Your point was that everything is pre-arranged and for the maximum profit of the industry (here you cannot distinguish NBA industry and gambling industry). Therefore, either 4-3 or 4-0 were pre-arranged for the profit.
Your point was out-of-date and also门外汉now. It might have partially true 50 years ago. But now it has been so different because of the laws, regulations, and business models.
It's true everyone likes to maximize their profits, but first of all, NBA interest is different from gambling interest. And also short term interest is different from long term interest.
It’s against NBA’s basic long term interest to pre-arrange all the games. Easy to disapprove, for the maximum short term profit, it would be New York vs Los Angles 7 games in the final. But it has not happened.
NBA doesn’t want people suspicious on each falling, mis-firing of the players, although one individual player could do that on purpose for money from gambling industry (it’s illegal though). But NBA as an organization, will certainly not turn a game into a drama for sporting betting, it will hurt NBA much more than its gaining
