David Stern Goes Off on Pop, Promises "Substantial Sanctions"

[TDMVPDPOY]

did anyone felt that last night during the quarter/half interviews, pop couldve just continue to be a and give out his one word answers or continue with the shenanigans if it wasnt barkley interviewing him.....all game he kept his calm, and didnt show any sort of expression that sterns words got to him...

Stern probably thinks Pop needs to get over himself.

next time pop should just reply back in russian/serb during the interviews, fck stern and tnt would rush to punch in sub les

Yes, the most successful coach in the league (who is still coaching) in the last decade needs to take tips from Stern.

I've been waiting for Wojo ... let's see if he brought the goods

They should have played. They had a day off on Tuesday and had a short flight from Orlando. They are getting paid millions. What would our bosses think if we told them we were too tired to work since we worked 4 days in a row? I know the bosses were the ones who made the decision but the question is still the same.

Really sad to see you kill your own argument before you're finished typing. Ironic that you clicked "submit".

Powerful piece by Adrian Woj. It is basically an article about how the "Emperor has no clothes and is a closet Knicks homie who partakes into that wretched franchise's illegalities". Powerful and supportive words about the Spurs and the Spurs way as well. Great piece.

[TDMVPDPOY]

pop sends one rocket over, stern replies back with SANCTIONS instead of 1 sanction

all his doing is making this team bond together more, the heart of a regular season champion will prevail

[TampaDude]

Stern.

[DPG21920]

I can't wait for the Woj article about this either way

Boom goes the dynamite.

That's quite possibly the best Spurs article I ever read. Excellent job.

Great article. Makes me feel even better about a Spurs fan.

[TheSkeptic]

I understand acting overly haughty over minor indiscretions, I've made a career and monthly payments on a gleaming 2008 Toyota Corolla out of it, so Stern's heavy-handed response to Popovich's move rings true. After a few weeks of sitting on the sidelines and hand-s ching the bunting to be draped as he sets to his victory tour, Stern needlessly moved in to protect the honor of Absolutely No One in response to a game that would be forgotten in a matter of days even if Tim Duncan tipped in a game-winner off of a Tony Parker miss.

Although it's not as good as Woj's article, Dwyer's was also a pretty good read. I think it's linked on Woj's.

So does anyone know what Hollinger had to say?

Note: I don't really agree with Dwyer calling the game one-sided though. Spurs bench kept it really close and probably could've won.

Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN As @Monroe_SA mentioned to me earlier, Pop clearly chose to target MEM game rather than MIA. Why? Playoff tiebreakers.


Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN The Spurs, as well as any team, know how difficult a playoff series in Memphis can be. Beating MIA doesn't help as much as beating MEM. \

And if you don't think Pop sees the road that far ahead, you obviously haven't been paying attention.

Dear Mr. Stern

I'm very upset that Pop sent the big 3 home.
However I think that the NBA can make it up to me by sending me a signed Anthony Davis top.
Thanks in advance
