but it wasn't to tank, it was to rest their star players. The Spurs were playing their 4th game in their 5th night and 6th game on the road trip. The coach sent 3 players home on a commercial flight instead of suiting them up in a nationally televised game vs the heat. The game was also in November. This particular NBA thing is completely different than tanking for a better draft pick. The fine was stupid and the commissioner was apologizing to the fans of Miami bc they didnt get to see Ginobli, Duncan, or Tony Parker.... BOOO HOOO! It's not like they dont have Lebron etc to see every night geesh.
Diane beat me to it.
