From an objective point of view this goes back to putting the best product out for the fans, which Pop chose not to. You can argue that teams rest players at the end of the season but that usually happens when a playoff spot is locked up so fans know they still have the opportunity to see the best product in the playoffs where games are more important. The best interests of the players were in mind but at this point regular season games matter to get into the playoffs, the game wont come back to haunt them but I still see both sides to the argument.

Pop's been resting them whenever he wants for a couple seasons now.

Counterargument to that is Ginobli and Duncan are over 34 years old and TP is 30. They had played a lot of games in a lot of days and were about to go against a fairly physical and well rested Miami team. And it's also November when games are meaningless.

I have seen plenty of games where SA has been down several starters and still won against a good playoff team at full strength. They have benched several important players at random times during the season for years now. To fine them now is total BS.
