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.


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

lets say Pop does this for a Bobcats game


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.

Still shouldn't do it in the middle of the season for a prime time game when no other NBA gamesare being played. It's bad form.

Stern's fine was a deterrent against future teams doing this.

The results of the game should have no bearing on Stern's decision.
