Spurs fined 250k for sending home players from yesterdays game

[GreatestLaker]

Stop arguing just to argue. Common sense says what SA was wrong and against the framework of competitive balance. If every team did this, it would a travesty throughout the league.

When you boss, you think like a boss. If you disagree with the league, you're thinking like an employee.

Truth.

i hate this dictator fakkit. retire already you fuhrer piece of shyt

Amen, get the FUKK outta here Stern nobody will miss you.

 

[CantStop]

so @Loose, so let's say Lakers play the thunder but it's not on TV, they are allowed to send their four best players home? Is that what you're saying? It's not okay if it's on national TV but it's okay if it's not.

This the same nikka that vetoed a trade that all teams agreed to.


and this cac will retire in 2014 with everyone singing his praises

 

[Loose]

i agree, so if your 66-15 a few games left 1st seed locked up its ok?


Dallas Mavericks vs. Golden State Warriors - Box Score - April 17, 2007 - ESPN


stern said nothing when fans in golden state were robbed of seeing the best team in the nba, instead they got greg buckner, devean george, diop, ager, jj barea,

where wsa stern then

was this END of the season game even on tv?

 

[Sean7]

National tv is the biggest reason obviously , it was the right decision



every team plays 4 games in 5 nights

They have the right to sit their players as well then, nothing against that in the rules. Pop has done this a few times before, thing is it was agaisnt Portland or say Dallas etc. so Stern didn't care too much then. His media Darlings are the only ones he cares about, the ones with the ratings. Lets be real thats what this is about, his money and his power.

YES SIR!

 

[FaTaL]

WHY? There was no rule broken, just Stern worried about $$$. Try not making the play 4 games in 5 nights while having the Heat off for 4, then we will talk about them playing the guys or not sitting anyone. What kind of schedule is that?

If they are going to set you up to lose why try to win?

Blah, Stern sucks Eggman. Dude is a greedy fukking clown, can't wait till he leaves. BTW your Boy Bron didn't question it, said he had nothing against it.

every team goes through that shyt, its a nationally televised game. you cant do that when your trying to sell your product

just imagine being a fan

spending the money to buy tickets, paying for travel and you get to see the spurs benchwarmers vs lebron


that shyt aint kosher

 

[daboywonder2002]

does anyone have the exact rules about informing the league and media about who will and will not play?? i have no problem with what pop did. but why wait till the last minute to announce it??

 

[CantStop]

Lol @ anyone c/s this. You guys are dead wrong. So if Pop told them they aren't playing but they have to sit on the bench, it's okay? So it's only wrong because they were sent home but it would be okay if they sat on the bench? Let's say Pop said they're not playing for disciplinary reasons even if it's a lie, is that okay?

Why doesn't Stern just dictate how many mins each player has to play since he loves controlling everything.

I dont think it should be allowed regardless unless within the last few games of the season. sending the entire STARTING rotation home should result in fines.

 

[SuikodenII]

disservice to fans, sure

to the league though

 

[PortCityProphet]

Stern is an idiot. he makes the league look worse with this move.

 

[Gotright]

what rule did they break? coach pop was just using his head and coaching that jew stern is just mad cause he fukked the tnt night game up

thats what this is all about fukk stern being mad what about the fans who watch and paid to see that shyt.stern did the right thing

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

250k is insane
