before. he had done this before with tim duncan and other players, when, you know, they're getting up there in years and gives them a rest. >> he did it during the lockout season. they were playing three games in three night and back-to-back-to-back. there were different rules pause of the lockout. he has probably done it at other times when they have gotten ready for playoffs and you don't do it in the 15th game of the season. or possible playoff preview for the finals. it is not right. once you tell the fans games don't matter, once you send out that message why should anybody come to the arena? jon: the nba ticket is pretty expensive ticket these dice. >> $70 was the cheapest fare to get in last night. jon: but, you know, they came pretty close to winning the game. one could argue leaving his best talent at home isn't necessarily a bad thing. >> that was the outcome. it is irrelevant to what it is that we're talking about. did anybody want to pay a nickel to go see it.
