Could you refresh my memory? For the life of me I do not remember anyone getting fined.

Thank you.
The only thing that might save the Heat from a similar fine seems to be the timing. It's not unusual for teams to sit players towards the end of the season, although two weeks before playoffs does seem early. The Spurs did it in December.
Either way, I personally find it despicable. Fans deserve to see the players that are the reason for high ticket prices.

I pretty much feel this way. You are cheating the people who pay good money. I might excuse a last game or two, especially for players that might have been playing with a nagging or minor injury.Thank you.

how does giving your opponent a better chance at beating you fit in with any of those adjectives? also, why would this be Riley's decision?
