Yes, people do get screwed by the schedule. In this case, the NBA got screwed by their own schedule.

Stern is crying because a little less money is going to be made over a match up between two teams that are perceived to be good. These types of games happen multiple times every week. No one would care about the match up between the Spurs and Heat a few days from now, regardless of who was playing. It's not a big deal. Stern is being beyond petty with how he's handling this.

On ESPN they said "substantial sanctions", whatever that means.

That's ridiculous that they're getting punished for not playing their stars, when this has been a regular occurance for Pop.

Stern is getting close to being worse than Goodell

I feel so bad for these poor TNT viewers and people in Miami for having to watch such a boring game.

That ridiculous. The game is tied in the 4th. If the nba is worried about fans seeing a bad product the wizards should be fined.

Is this more the Spurs bench being good, Pop being a great coach, or the Heat not being as good as thought?

I don't care that much for Stern either, but he is looking out for the fan on this one. If you were a Spurs fan who lived in Miami and this was your only chance to see them and you bought 3 tix. You would be pissed. You probably don't buy this tix if you know the best players aren't playing.

The Heat are good. I can't stand them, but they are the best in the NBA until proven otherwise. I think they're just going through the motions until the 4th.

I agree. I think Lebron will come in and put this game away soon.

Not for an NBA game. We all know the NBA is about seeing the stars.
