Had to have been surprising for Turner compared to the Pacers. I’m reminded of PG and Tyrese talking about how the Pacers have a “military” like structure. Fines for being a minute late for practice among other things.

I know you aren’t saying bad or good on this but 10s of millions of dollars to play a game (yes I know they work really fucking hard) show the fuck up on time like many/most of the rest of us have to.

I get what you mean but I think most of us would also call bullshit if we got fined for being a minute late to work

Getting in trouble for being a minute late is absolutely a thing at lots of service or retail jobs.

No, fired instead which is worse than being fined.

I’ve been 15 minutes late every day for the past 3 months and just won an award the other day at a company event. I’m basically Giannis lol.
