I just got home, what I missed in regards to the Spurs game. So upset that I missed 2.5 quarters man
 
 
Pop's decision has destroyed MIA's gameplan coming into the game & Spo hasn't been able to adjust

NBA is a business. The regular season is 82 games to entertain people across the country.  We don't need 82 games to know whos best and how to rank the playoff teams but we have 82 games.  If you are a pro you are expected to play 82 games if you aren't injured. 

I understand Pops reasons but taking out 5 key players is OD and a slippery slope because things have to be regulated.  You can't have the Bobcats doing this every 5 games to get the #1 pick.  Pop is a winner but he doesn't get more "rights" than the Wizards coach Wittman.  Everything has to be even.  Stern will step in and I don't blame him.

Bottomline is Pop took it too far and embarrassed the league tonight.  He could've did this on a game that wasn't on National TV.  But the timing makes this even worse. 

Cosign. I dont give a **** about Stern. Me personally, I really only watch bball on Thursdays since I dont have time rest of the week and don't get any of the league packages, so it's annoying not to be able to see a prime matchup on the most visible game of the week, especially since one of the main reasons I even have cable is to catch ballgames. And as someone has said, 'resting' for the playoffs rarely works. Obviously one game is not gonna turn me off from cable, but still, people seem to forget that there are viewers that turn in each week expecting to see a good game.

How can anyone ven entertain this? The spurs put a competent team on the floor.

What if Woodson is mad at melo and wants to put a DNP on him in a big game to send a message?

Stern gonna do something?

That star power SMH. He created this problem.

So I guess its only okay for coaches to rest their players when the playoffs are on the horizon?

Because nobody says anything when Lebron and Wade sit out a game in April.

Why does it matter if its in November or March/April?

Man what? Now we're really going to dictate how coaches coach their team? He is not here to appease the Miami Heat fans or the national "fanbase" His job is to win basketball games, and put the best interest of THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS before anything else. The nerve of David Stern to even try and tell him how to coach the team. What if we win, what do you say then? This is nonsense of the highest degree, David Stern has gone off the deep end.

Not to mention that we do this all the time... I'm mad this is even up for discussion
