h: Go ahead and rip Stern but the "they need to rest" excuse is bullshyt too. They're pro athletes who make millions of dollars to play a kids game. If they're too :flabbynsick: then retire and stay home.:

kids game ? :laugh:

and who cares about the excuse ? it is IRRELEVANT. the coach makes the decision who plays and who doesnt. who goes home and who doesnt. period.


like Ive said dumb ass fans forgot about SPORTS being played on the court, and view everything as ENTERTAINMENT.

get that popcorn bowl fan in front of tv ass mentality outta here. pro players wanna win and how much and when they play isnt fans business. fans want to see their team win, pop is one motherfukking coach who you cant blame for not winning.

Niccas in here acting like the Spurs players are sweat shop workers in a third world country. stop it! :heh: Go ahead and rip Stern but the "they need to rest" excuse is bullshyt too. They're pro athletes who make millions of dollars to play a kids game. If they're too :flabbynsick: then retire and stay home. Every team is going to have that 4 games in 5 nights stretch this season. The Spurs got theirs out the way now they schedule should favor them. I can see if Pop sat a player or two but damn near the entire starting five? and he sent them home? He basically has something against Stern to do some shyt like that. oh well

now I agree that the $250k is harsh but hey :manny:

so now nikkas aint human and are immune to fatigue :skip:
yall are jackasses

That "Oh Pop is saving his players for May during the playoffs cause they're going for a ring" is bullshyt too. If that's the case them sit them out til the all star break. One game isn't gonna do shyt. and I never said shyt about entertainment. If stern didn't at least make a statement this would've opened the floodgates for other teams to copy and follow

Of course players get fatigued, hell we all get fatigued. just go about it the proper way. If you personally don't want to go to work for whatever reason just call in sick.. if you say fukk it and simply don't show up you could possibly lose your job. That was just an example and of course and it doesn't reflect the life of a pro ball player but imo and it has been said by others that Pop was sending a message at Stern about the schedule which is fine by me

so why did pop do this if it wasnt for sacrificing one game to win more important ones ? he just wanted to troll ? whats the reason he did this, if it wasnt to win in the long term ?

That's what I'm hearing? He didn't like the schedule about his team playing 4 games in 5 nights while the Heat have had damn near the whole week off. So in essence it was like a protest type move

-The Spurs are a hell of a team but one game off for his stars is not going to make his team's chances of getting a ring any easier. especially in the West
