Conduct detrimental.
Resting his dudes for the playoffs everyone knows they are going to make is what he was doing.
The season is too long. And Stern is a dbag. The emporer has no clothes.
Stern can't fine them for a rule that doesn't exist. I've never seen the rule where a coach can't manage his team however he pleases.
Sten makes up rules as he goes. Enjoy the circus.
David Stern is a comedy. Think about it.
Yes, the season is too long, and yes Stern is a power hungry douche. But you negotiate that stuff through collective bargaining. This is the equivalent of civil disobedience, which is great in matters of politics and government, but the NBA is big business. Pop is biting the hand that feeds.
How dare he send these guys home. They may actually get time to spend with their families. They may be able to clear their heads and enjoy some down time. They should have sat on the bench for no reason because that's "professional".
Ha. Wow. $250,000 fine.
Way to stick it to the man, Pop. Hope it was worth it to get your point across.
Ridiculous fine. This happens in every sport. Baseball players get days off all the time and NFL teams bench all of their stars when they have clinched a playoff spot in the last week. Even tanking NBA teams rest their stars at the end of the season to move up in the lottery. Stern is opening up a Pandora's box here.
