Go tell Tim, Manu and Danny to pack up and rest, your not playing against the Heat.
Star less Spurs almost put out the Heat! No one could questions Popovich coaching strategy, well not unless you are the league commissioner. But why? Coach Popovich don't think that the Heat is the real treat because he decided to let his stars rest in preparation for the Grizzlies game. which is he believe is a greater challenge. This did not sit well with the commissioner.
Commish Stern Said.
โI apologize to all NBA fans,โ Stern said in a statement. โThis was an unacceptable decision by the San Antonio Spurs and substantial sanctions will be forthcoming.โ
Coach Popovich Said:
โEverybody has to make decisions about their schedule, about players playing and back-to-backs and trips and that sort of thing,โ Popovich told reporters before the game.
โIn our case, this month weโve had 11 away games, after tonight. Weโve had an eight-day trip and a 10-day trip, and weโre ending it with four (games) in five nights here. I think itโd be unwise to be playing our guysโฆโ
