Spurs fined 250K by NBA
NEW YORK – The NBA announced today that the San Antonio Spurs organization has been fined $250,000 for its decision to send four players (Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Danny Green) home prior to the Spurs’ Nov. 29 game in Miami. The Spurs’ actions were in violation of a league policy, reviewed with the NBA Board of Governors in April 2010, against resting players in a manner contrary to the best interests of the NBA. NBA Commissioner David Stern stated: “The
Perkins: Only TNT is entitled to be mad at Popovich
MIAMI – Those weren’t the San Antonio Spurs that visited AmericanAirlines Arena and lost to the Miami Heat, 105-100, on Thursday. But that doesn’t give you reason to hate. We all know those weren’t the real Spurs, not the team that’s won four titles with its Big Three of forward Tim Duncan and guards Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. They were all in San Antonio, chillin’, relaxin’. [Read more…]
Rosen: Popovich v. Stern: Who wears the dunce cap?
According to his job description, David Stern is supposed to be totally neutral and impartial. Except for possibly desiring a big-market rather than small-market team to advance to the NBA Finals, who wins and who loses shouldn’t be something that concerns the commissioner.

SH Blog: Popovich makes costly choice, Wade explains what he sacrificed, Bynum gets sued
Did Gregg Popovich screw the fans and the NBA by making the decision to sit out four of his starters for a nationally televised game on TNT, on a night where only two games were on the schedule? Because lets face it: no one is exactly clamoring to see the Heat take on a bunch of role players that casual fans know nothing about – the Spurs aren’t exactly the most popular team to watch to begin with. Hell, even the
Spurs “B Team” Scares Heat; Win $1,000 Cash Tonight
When the news broke that four of the five San Antonio starters were getting the night off, fantasy owners of Tim Duncan and Tony Parker were disappointed, and it really hurt to get a zero from Manu Ginobili after his 20-point explosion the night before. Appearing to concede a game on national TV is unusual optics, and Commissioner Stern promised “substantial sanctions” before they even started to play. Get the whole story from our Chris Bernucca. Gregg Popovich and his makeshift
Sanctions, shmanctions. Viva Popovich? Spurs nearly beat Heat
Should NBA commissioner David Stern have kept his mouth shut instead of popping off pregame against “Pop”? Or were the “substantial sanctions” he alluded to nothing more than a precursor to a public re-assessment of the relative strength of the Miami Heat? Where does this thing go next? [Read more…]
Tweet of the Day: J.A. Adande
J.A. Adande of ESPN’s Around the Horn fame, sent out the above tweet after news broke regarding forthcoming sanctions against the San Antonio Spurs. The reference is pretty humorous. Adande is essentially equating NBA Commissioner David Stern with Damon Wayans’ In Living Color character Homey D. Clown.
DEVELOPING STORY: NBA Commissioner David Stern promises "substantial sanctions" for Spurs' approach to Thursday's game.
