I thought the people of the coli would be smarter than this. Pop's ONLY responsibility is to HIS team. If he feels he wants to rest a few players it's his call. He is the coach. The Spurs have had a ton of road games this season.

Who is Stern to tell Pop how to run the team? Yeah, it sucks for TNT and Stern is protecting the NBA's partners but Pop is still the coach... you don't mess with how a coach wants to handle his team. This isn't WWE where a storyline authority figure is gonna step in and make people do shyt.
Then sit them on the bench. He sent them away from the team. Pop is in the wrong. You only send players home if they are serving a suspension or they are injured.

look at what the ppl c/s stern are saying, it's okay if you sit them on the bench but it's not okay to send them home. whats the difference, they wont play regardless :deadrose:

Look what you just wrote, if Pop sat them on the bench and told them they're not playing, it's fine but sending them home it's fine worthy. :deadrose:

so as long as the fans get to see them on the bench, they get their moneys worth according to you? :deadrose:

how dumb is that logic?
You only send players home if they are injured or serving a suspension.

and sterns ONLY responsibility is to take care of the league.

U gotta create a rule u can't make shyt up as u go
Only thing I think is that the player should have to be at the game even if they don't play

LMAO @ the dude who said the NBA Union should have anything to do with this.

This is management vs management.

The coach made a decision that the SA front office should have never signed off on. League management didn't like this decision and spanked the Spurs for making a Thursday night nationally televised game a mockery.

End of story. If you in the corporate world, this sh*t happens all the time. There isn't some imaginary expectancy of moral fairness. It always about the dollars playboy. Thought ya'll knew this. :bryan:
