I'm pretty sure it's the coach's choice, not the fans on when to rest players. This is like tweaking out for subbing a player out, only in a different capacity.

He's wrong because he doesn't agree with your opinion? Gimme a break.

Really, what underhanded motivation would the Spurs have? Manu is hurt, and they had a long night last night, and wanted to give Tim and Tony the night off. If it was Minnesota, you wouldn't give a shit, so don't whine just because we want that half game. Does it suck? Yeah. Are they doing something wrong? No.

Wait... who's this addressed to?
 
I know when I pick the games I attend, I think about the opponents and the stars I want to see play.

I would be pissed if I was a paying customer and I didn't get to see Duncan, Parker and Manu becuase they needed "rest."

And that's why the league will look at this very carefully.
 
Would be hilarious (and a bit scary) if the Spurs win anyway.

I would be pissed too, but a team has every right to sit there players for whatever reason they want to. Maybe they are just tired, who knows.

good... leave em on the bench and give more minutes to my boy MALIK!!!!!! HAIRSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The NBATV guys kept saying how he was just beating melo in an attempt to defend him and how he went to oregon state. I guess OSU is the only relevant pac-10 bball team in Oregon now.

Yes it would. After the game against the Hornets last night, you never know what the hell is going to happen.

Dayum, you are a better man than me. When I go to games, I usually hope that the other team's best player rips his leg up during warmups, so the C's can post an easy win.

And being a Celtic fan, your sense of entitlement would cause you to chuckle and throw false sympathy towards the injured.

We are different.

I want Cavs. Spurs, Lakers, Boston. I love to watch the best players go at it with our team. It gives the Blazers less chance of winning, but it makes for good viewing and what a rush when they win.

In fact I get about 1/3 season tickets and didn't get the cavs game. . . so I actully went out and paid full price for tickets just to see Lebron play in person.

He ate up my Blazers . . . but to watch him play live . . . that was something special . . . not just another game.
 
what's the problem here?

the spurs can do whatever they want. they played an overtime game last night and are on a long road trip. rather than push his stars too hard, he's giving them the night off on a 2nd night of a back to back to get them rested up before their next game.

My Celtic entitlement wants to me point out that they came to Boston for their next game, by the way.
 
what about guys like shaq and tmac not playing in back to backs? how is this any different than that?

Those don't necessarily hurt the Blazers. Conspiracy theories only really start when Portland is the one taking the hit.

In my opinion, it's not, but fans and the league are notified up front in advance that those players will not be playing. San Antonio decided to make a game-time decision to hold out it's three best players and cheat the fans who paid to watch the game. The integrity of the game was compromised.

Personally I don't put Duncan in the Shaq category or Parker and and Manu in the T-Mac category.

I think it's differnt because Duncan, Parker and Manu are just flat out pussies. :D

He's a mod?!?! Nothing gets past you. Except the ability to use your head. Why do you need to ask why he's a mod? So when he becomes a mod, he loses his ideas? We as staff do our best to act as mature people, but we like to have fun too. This isn't a fucking job, so get it straight. He agreed and he was a bit sarcastic, stop crying. Learn to play nice and if people disagree, than big shit. Just take it easy and always remember; No glove, no love.
