Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu, Danny Green sent home won't play vs Heat

I understand that people are feeling for the fans but this is Miami. A bunch of rich ****s who show up in the middle of second quarter probably are more interested in seeing the heat clobber someone than a real basketball game. I have no sympathy for such an awful fan base.

Easy win for the Heat.

[QUOTE=G-train]I just wouldn't have told anyone til you have to submit team sheets, and have the players listed as out with an injury that they have. As they would all be carrying one. Sore ankle, sprained finger, whatever.[/QUOTE]
yeah, but that circumvents Pop's purpose, which is to send a message to Stern and to the guys that make the NBA schedule that the schedule is whack.

This is why this generation fails hard.


[B]"WELL THIS IS A BIG FU TO STERN AND THE LEAGUE LOLZ, IF THEY DONT LIKE IT THEN THEY SHOULD REARRANGE THE SCHEDULE"[/B]



So, men, that get paid millions of dollars to play a game they love are sat out of a nationally televised game because they're tired, and do not like the schedule they were given?


A. These televised games have sponsors.


B. NBA makes their money off of the business aspect of the game, in turn is the reason players are able to bank the cash they bank.



C. This sets a precedent and im sure you'll see other teams attempt it. What happens if this becomes the norm league wide, throughout the year? Do you tune into as many of those games if you arent seeing your players out there?



What happens to the fans that paid to see these teams play?




Im sorry but some of you need to go back to sleep with the train of thought that this isnt a negative.

And? I cant just start sitting out of work tomorrow because I dont like the scheduling. Wtf. :oldlol:


They get paid MASSIVELY more than I do.

[QUOTE=nycelt84]First and foremost the NBA is and has always been entertainment. If I had tickets to this game I would demand a refund and Pop and the Spurs organization should be heavily fined and heavily penalized for doing this.[/QUOTE]



I dont know about fines, but I'd for DAMN sure demand a refund. I paid for a game like that, only to have players just chilling and NOT playing for NO reason other than they're tired? Gtfo :lol


Nah. Give me MY motherf*ckin' money back.

nba should just assign Joey Crawford to every spurs game for the rest of eternity

Sitting Duncan and Manu, and somewhat Parker, ok I get that. But Danny Green? The guy's 25. C'mon Pop.

This won't even be a story in 2 days but it's still pretty weak from Pop. Don't think he should get fined or anything, but there's being a little out of the box like Pop usually is and then there's just showing disrespect for fans.

One thing to be doing this at the end of the year, but we're barely a month into the season.

No, Pop is using his brain. He's hiding his cards from the Heat when they face them again later on in the season... in the Finals! :bowdown:

Seriously, could you even imagine reading this news before the game? I mean, injuries I can live with. Shit happens, but they're sitting out 4 guys, whom are all big pieces of the Spurs lineup a MONTH into the season, because they ran into a tiring part of their scheduling?


No friggin' way.



How can anyone say this is okay?

:roll:
How can you not love the guy?
