In the new era of the NBA, who in the hell knows when these guys are going to bother to show up. If you were making $10-25 million per guaranteed win or lose, would you give a shit? I know I wouldn't.
You cared more about this game than Paul and Jordan tonight, LB. Not really sure what Doc -- or any coach -- does about the toxic environment that these contracts have created in the league, but it's here to stay so everyone better get used to teams "mailing it in" at the drop of a hat. Regular season = meaningless now.
