Re: Today's Game Discussion [11/30/12]
Wait a minute!
Wait one God-damn minute! Is that Dwight Howard I see sitting on the bench in the 4th quarter. What the **** is D'Antoni thinking? Quick! Someone notify David Stern!

He did it because Pop showed him up. Not because he took the players out. Stern slithered his way out of his idiotic rage the night before by weakly stating all Pop had to do was notify the league and the Heat. Give me a ****ing break. The guy really does need to go now.

Secondly, Stern has now made it known that he doesn't care about legitimate competition and allowing the teams to run themselves. Through the Hornets fiasco last year and this, it's obvious Stern has overstepped his boundaries. He's essentially telling teams they can't run themselves and that he knows better. At what point does it stop? And why does he fine the Spurs (who did this in the past), and not teams who try to improve their lottery chances by tanking? Pop was doing what he felt was in the best interest of his team.

Re: Today's Game Discussion [11/30/12]
The reference to tanking has nothing to do with this. If teams sit players who can play, they at least present the illusion of an injury. This was Pop sending home four players early who were healthy, the most egregious of which being Green.
I'm not defending Stern. If Pop did this in Orlando and sent the four to Miami early to rest, Stern wouldn't bat an eye. |
