I'm in the minority here but I agree with Stern. What's to stop fans from asking for discounts or refunds because the star players are not attending the game because they're too tired.
Miami is a bad example because they have multiple superstars, but lets say Pop does this for a Bobcats game. You paid top dollar for a ticket because you wanted to see Tim Duncan. Now you find out he's not playing because he's too tired. This is what I think Stern is trying to avoid.

Common sense should stop them

So if Duncan's hurt do you get a refund? Or if Duncan plays but they're winning by some much he only plays 10-15 mins?

Tough shite. Teams form their rosters with the intent to win, not entertain fans, especially opposing fans.

He wouldn't give away a free win. Stern didn't have a problem when the Spurs and others did it in the past, why now? I think Pop sat the guys as a frick you to the league for putting this game on the end of a 4 of 5 for them while the Heat were rested. So Stern responded with a frick you of his own.
