    I wonder how much money Stern's gonna have to slip Holt under the table to keep him from challenging this.

    WTF?

    1) Pop's decision became public well before the start of the game. How much more leeway are the Spurs expected to give the Heat?

    2) Under what rule do the Spurs have to discuss their coaching decisions prior to the start of a game?

    3) only visit to Miami

    4) You didn't inform the Heat

    5) F David Stern.

    That's interesting.

    If he's setting a precedent, then every team will have to get fined in the last week of the season when players get sat right and left.
