I can't say that about Stern. He is the reason the sport I love so much is so big in America and around the world. When Stern took over as the commish the NBA Finals were run pre-recorded. The NBA was seen at the level that Hockey is at today. Hell, Stern approved Miami getting their own team even though this is a transient town and is more full of fans of other teams because they move here to escape their shitty weather. Yes Stern is soon to retire but lets not forget who made the NBA what it is today. It wasn't the players...
As far as the fine goes, he was right to do it. That game was 1 of only 2 games being played that night. You could see that there were alot of Spurs fans at the game and they were cheated out of seeing their stars play (they also payed big star money to be at the game). The NBA counts on those big TV spots to make money and even though it's not Pops job to worry about that, his small market Spurs count on those big TV spots to operate in the green every year because of the NBA's rev sharring. So what if the Spurs had to play xx amount of road games in xx nights, Tony Parker and Danny Green are both young. Both of those guys should have played that night. The Heat went through that 2 yrs ago. Hell every year the NBA seems to put the Heat in a huge Westcoast trip (4 games in 5 nights) that always seem to end in Denver (going from West to East) on a back to back night. This year was the first time in 10 years the Nuggets lost one of those games. They were 48-0 before Miami beat them. Yes the NBA is wrong for the schedule setup but Pop was more wrong for doing such a stupid thing. He could have rested those guys the night before. Plus this is only 16 games into the season. There is no reason for those guys to be tired yet. Also lets keep in mind, if Miami ever did this the whole Basketball world would be on the NBA's side for a fine and asking for the fine to be $2M. The NBA is a Marathon not a sprint, if you can't keep up... Retire... |

Great loss for the Heat, they needed to made look like the fools they been playing like. They constantly play to the level of whoever they play against and tonight they played down to the level of the worst team in the NBA and their best player wasn't even playing. I hope this kick in the nuts hurts deeply and they carry it all season. To let the Wizards score 105 points on them is worst of all. This Heat team reminds me so much of D'antoni's Knicks, just with much better players, no Defense, just score score score....
As far as the Lakers go, I have been against D'antoni over Phil this whole time. I don't see the Lakers making it to the finals. |

It's only fitting that Kobe gets his 30,000th point against a the team that drafted him and sent him to L.A. I bet the Pelicans are still kicking themselves over that move...

As much as I want the Knicks to beat the Heat tonight, I don't think it's going to happen. I feel like the Heat are going to come out strong knowing that they don't want to get beaten again; plus they're still probably pissed about the loss to the Wizards.

I dont expect any of this to transfer to the playoffs. The only teams that I expect to come out on top are the Grizzlies and OKC. A lot of things can change and injuries are always bound to happen.

How the hell is D'antoni still in L.A? I mean Brown was bad but atleast L.A could stop some teams. Under D'antoni L.A is allowing 112ppg... Too bad buss blew up his bridge with Phil... I understand that that Nash and Pau are hurt but a tean with Kobe and Dwight shouldn't be this bad... This feels like Bizzaro world where NY is good and plays defense and L.A is just bad.
