Stern is getting humiliated.
If Stern has to substantially sanction someone, it must be the Heat. I mean, sucking on national TV against the Spurs' backups? How disappointing is that for the NBA?
W/ strong performance, SA reserves gain a collective confidence tonight that will be invaluable. That's not tanking. It's team-building.

Spurs up 4 at the 6:00 mark of the 4th.
a point that is well-taken and has been remarkably absent in the discussions of this situation (by both those who support the decision and those who oppose it).
Stern gonna need a steady supply of throat lozenges if the Spurs win this. His throat's gonna be mad sore after this ing Pop and the Spurs' bench are giving him.
If this turns out to be a W , Stern can't say .
Oh, he can. And he probably will.
He'll just look like a petulant jackass.
When the Spurs sat Duncan & Parker in February in Portland, with Manu hurt, a fan wrote Popovich a letter of complaint. Pop wrote back. Pop: "I wrote him back and I said, 'If I was in your position, I would write the same letter. I agree with you totally. You're right. But my priorities are different than yours.' In the general sense, frankly, everything doesn't go our way in life."

Well . I guess the point has been made either way.
Stern should have waited until after the game to run his mouth. Fans at the arena got their money's worth and I'm sure that TNT's ratings were just fine.
What Stern did, besides ting his Depends, was the equivalent of a ref anticipating a foul. That was the best TNT game I've seen in a couple of years.
The NBA fans that Stern apologized to got a better game out of the depleted Spurs and the Heat tonight than they'll get on most nights in most arenas.
I guess Stern was preemptively apologizing for showing a compe ive, entertaining game.
Stern should be giddy that Pop did this. I've never seen ESPN talk about the Spurs this much without someone being injured.
stern is a j3wbag sucking got that literally all people hate outside of his direct subordinates and family
I can say that with 99% confidence.
Well ladies and gentelmen, I'm proud to announce that I will be stepping down as NBA commissioner.
*loud cheers and feelings of euphoria*
.....in 2037.
Has anybody asked Pop about this yet?![]()
Erase all championships and victories since the beginning of the Popovich era!!!!!
Fine $60 million!!!
Take away scholarshi...errr... I mean reduce the Spurs salary cap by 25% for the next 4 seasons!!!!!!!!!
I don't know. I have to admit I, not living anywhere near San Antonio, would feel cheated if I didn't get to see the Spurs at full force when they rolled into my town. As a fan I deserve to see what I pay for. This is why I move that Kobe, Lebron, and Durant should play all 48 minutes of every game. Also I will sue if I have to watch Richard Jefferson take the court...for anybody...ever.
Why would you even say such a disgusting thing? The team has been such a joy to watch after losing .
Personally, I hate that Pop sits all of them like this. Maybe rest Duncan and Manu some, but not all 4. It is funny to see BSPN actually talk about the Spurs though lol
F Stern, not for today, F him for other reasons.
I deserve substantial sanctions, tbh.
Every year, players skipped the final 2-3 games. I just have one question for Stern: Why is it okay to throw away game 81st/82nd, not game 17th?
If you worry about fans or the so-called integrity, what's the difference? If anything, players like our big 3 really need the rest for a 10-day 6-game road trip, while a rest during a friendly schedule at the end of the season might potentially disrupt players' rhythm.
u know this money would end up in teh israelites hands...fck him
