ESPN.comSAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio Spurs decided to take Monday off and made only three players available to the media.
The NBA responded on Tuesday with a $50,000 fine for failing to provide enough players for a required media session.
The fine, issued by NBA executive vice president Stu Jackson, came after Spurs coach Gregg Popovich decided to let his team rest after Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against Utah. San Antonio won Game 1, 108-100.
A year ago, in a similar scenario, the Spurs won Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, but were routed in Game 2.
"We had no energy," guard Tony Parker said in the San Antonio News-Express. "We basically just gave them the game. We lost by (22) and that's not good because you give them confidence and then they go back home."
So Popovich, looking back at history, called for a rest day. Robert Horry, Jacque Vaughn and Parker were at the team's practice facility.
Parker was there to get treatment on his sore right shoulder and knees.
Props to Pop for giving them a rest and not worrying about the fine. Health and winning > Media Sessions.
You mean Free T-shirts > Health and Winning > Media Sessions
So, does that make the Spurs even more villainous? That might help
Millionaires with a little fatigue > thousands of naked, starving Spurs fans with no gas
Kori-
Out of curiousity, How many players were they supposed to give?
And I agree- pops to prop.( Look I can speak Ducks
Not a bad way to spend 50 g's. The cost of rest seems a little excessive.
I don't know for sure. I think four, but I'm not positive.Kori-

The Media should of just come to this board for all the insight and quotes needed to continue their conspiracy theory!

Screw Stu and Sperm and the horses they rode in on!
mav and sunfans should be fined for failing to leave the message board in a timely manner.
Next time they should provide Butler, Beno, Red Rocket, and JWhite.
It's all tax deductable anyway...
