Little divided on this one. Obviously it sucks to pay to see a team only for them to bring out a starting lineup of subs. On the other hand, the rule seems unenforceable and unnecessary while not addressing the bigger problem of talent/skill disparity. I'd rather watch the Spurs' subs take Houston to OT than watch the Warriors out score the Nets starters 145-68
Thoughts?

I'd be pissed if I bought tickets to see super stars and got a team full of subs. Once you realize the stars are not playing, would you even tune into the beginning of the game? I could see me checking on it later and then if it's close at the end, I would watch. But how is that different than only watching the beginning until they are up by 40 points? I guess it comes down to when are the ratings calculated for reporting purposes.
