Is the playoffs man. I can't believe people actually think this.

1. You can’t enable players to chuck multiple objects at referees, that is insane.

2. If the heating pack slides when Towns steps on it and he gets injured, do you hold that same opinion? If not, then you aren’t being consistent. It is an incredible dangerous thing to do.

3. Players have (correctly) been suspended in higher stakes Playoff moment.


It’s legitimately obscene that the NBA just looked the other way on a play that dangerous, which is an opinion that I’ve held prior to this smack down.

The heat pack landed out of bounds before it slid and winded up on the court.

Surely you can say there's a difference between these scenarios and someone throwing a towel at the body of a ref or throwing a heat pack at the body of a player.

This is the playoffs. Stop with this nonsense.

If someone gets hurt, then you suspend Murray for a long time, yes.

Very 1st non-Jokic possession is a shot clock violation

Murray needs to play an above average game in order for Denver to start rolling. He needs to keep this up.

lol, maybe he should, but if you are as good as everyone says and your fanbase think you should have no problem winning this series easily against a unintrested jokic and injured kcp and murray.

Minnesota being hot garbage is absolutely irrelevant to the broader point.

If Embiid didn't get suspended for directly hurting Robinson then Murray wasn't getting suspended for that nonsense.


One day a player will murder another player "man the F up and win the series with everyone (besides the murdered guy) on the court, who cares?"

I mean your logic is sound but what about his logic? Why would you risk getting suspended because you're angry?

My man

Oh I didn't know there was a common precedent for throwing things on the court and where they land. Who cares? It was dumb as f*** even Jokic said so.

In the regular season its a suspension.

In the playoffs, intent is examined more closely.

My feeling is that I don't want playoff series, and potentially championships, to be decided by suspensions. Perhaps he deserved it, but if so, at least let him serve it at the beginning of next regular season.


ya I don't know why people want a suspension....it would ruin the series....do we not want to watch competitive basketball?

I mean he threw sh#% on the court twice.. while aiming at the ref. If Draymond did this people would be furious
