The San Antonio Spurs are being sued by a lawyer who is alleging the team violated the state's deceptive and fair trade practices law.

On Monday, Larry McGuinness filed a class-action suit in Miami-Dade County, stating Spurs coach Gregg Popovich "intentionally and surreptitiously" sent their best players home without the knowledge of the league, the team and the fans attending the Nov. 29 game against the Miami Heat. McGuinness contends that he, as well as other fans, "suffered economic damages" as a result of paying a premium price for a ticket that shouldn't cost more.

Funny how many people are all over Pop over this. Winning games is the most important job for anyone in pro sports and nobody has done a better job percentage wise than Pop over the last 15 years. In any of the big four. If people don't want to suffer "economic damages" don't buy the tickets that pay people millions to put a ball through a hole. Pop=best in the business.
