The San Antonio Spurs are being sued by a lawyer who is alleging that the team violated the state's deceptive and fair trade practices law.
On Monday, Larry McGuinness filed a class action suit in Miami-Dade County, stating that the team's head coach, Gregg Popovich, "intentionally and surrepticiously" sent their best players home without the knowledge of the league, the team and the fans attending the Nov. 29 game against the Heat. McGuinness contends that he, as well as other fans, "suffered economic damages" as a result of paying a premium price for a ticket that shouldn't cost more.
if this isnt the absolute biggest load of crap ive ever seen.....
lemme get this straight, Heatfan is upset they didnt see Duncan play... and was forced to sit through a matchup of their favorite team winning a close game with Lebron Wade amd Bosh??
I bet most of the people who went couldn't tell you who was sent home.
Let me guess, he is a Jew? J/K
But this is pathetic. ""It was like going to Morton's Steakhouse and paying $63 for porterhouse and they bring out cube steak"
Must be David Sterns nephew tbh.
I don't even know what to say other than to state lawyers have hit a new low.
They got treated to a great game. I don't know why seeing the Spurs beat the Heat down would have made it more worth it.
If I remember correctly, this is the same guy that goes around to businesses and sues them for not having all the properly installed Americans with Disabilities Act alterations. http://www.browardbar.org/articles/93.html
The guy is literally worse than an ambulance chaser, at least they go after someone whose been injured.
On a more serious note, the fact that Stern made such a big fuss about it and actually "fined" the Spurs, could give this lawsuit more credence than it would have otherwise. Stern may have screwed the Spurs and the league in generally, more than he actually wanted to with his little pity-party.
It's like buying a brand new $50,000 car, totaling it on the way home, and finding out the insurance company will only give you $30,000 for it because it wasn't new anymore. It sucks, but that doesn't mean you should win a lawsuit over it.
dudes team almost got beat by the Spurs' 3rd string he has no room to claim that his ticket was overpriced
the guy is just an evil opportunist. s .
Brings new meaning to the words 'frivolous lawsuit".
Were suits filed in Massachusetts and D.C. for these games?:

I've been wanting to sue Stern for a long time, tbh.
Considering that less than three weeks later a well rested short handed Spurs squad lost at OKC by 14, I'm stiil not convinced that the Spurs didn't put their best foot forward.
For years they've called the Spurs boring. Duncan is boring. Parker is boring. Manu is (wtf, how?) boring. And now they complain that they paid big money to see the Spurs play?
No merit.
Yep. He saw the league sue and a month later thought I need some money and stoops to this crap. Watch fans from yesteryear now try to sue or idiots in the future when POP sits his guys. My guess would be to sit one or two one night and then one or two the other night.
The Spurs are obviously not going to lose this lawsuit. It's ridiculous, tbh.
The only concerns I have are:
1) The Spurs will probably have to waste some money in "fighting" it.
2) It could make Pop even less likely to coach how he wants to coach, which could manifest itself in tired and/or injured players come the playoffs.
Next thing you know people are gonna start suing movie studios when they don't like the movies they paid to see in theaters because "the trailer looked like a masterpiece but the movie was bad"
1) Stern made this suit plausible.
2) The Heat sold the ticket.
