Not at all the first time Pop has done this. He did it against the Nash/Amare Suns 3-4 times and came very close to winning. I got the feeling it was a sign of disrespect. Doubt that is the case this time.
man i wanted to see these teams go at it. this should be an exception. how popvich gonna pull his players like that?
Yes, but the last game was against Orlando. Minimal travel at best. It's just typical Popovich antics.
No it isn't. The Spurs coach is just being a p***y. Some stupid strategy that he shouldn't allow the Heat to see his real game AS IF THE FREAKING SAN ANTONIO p*****s ARE GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE FINALS. What? Is he going to use the same strategy on OKC and the Laker's too. I want to see the Spurs starters get destroyed. Obviously, Pops doesn't want his team to experience that. p*****s Did I say I absolutely hate San Antonio more than Dallas?!! I cannot stand this team...or the coach. Go stick of fork in your Face Popovich, you need to refresh your pockmarks.
Why should there be sanctions? The L they are much more likely to get should be punishment enough. I understand Stern is upset and many people who bought tickets may feel screwed over but I don't know if this is the way to handle it... teams should be able to play who they want, when they want.
Yea no. Pop is the Alpha male and his players obey his commands. Parker and Gino used to be his whipping boys and they know their role.
Under what premise are they allowed to sanction Pop? It's not like this is the first time he has done it.
