Okay. But based on what criteria? How can the commish dictate to a coach who he has to play? It may not be good for fans or ratings, but I think this is pretty egregious abuse of power for a commissioner to start punishing coaches for who they choose to play on their roster.
Pop been doing this for 4 seasons now. Stern didn't care until he did it on a primetime televised game against the defending champs. fukk that greedy b*stard.
C'mon, you're better than this.
It's not in the best interests of the game.
These guys are professional athletes and every team has 4 games in 5 nights stretches.
It's a slap in the face to the fans who paid to see this game expecting a great matchup, plus the ratings are gonna plummet since no one is gonna watch this bullshyt now.
I'd like it if I didn't have to show up to work when I have to work back-to-back days, but that's not how it works. :yao:
Can't wait to see what these substantial sanctions are. Stern's winning me back lately.
