Re: Jamal Murray needs to be suspended
You may add a poll before the official decision is announced. Fine + 1 game suspension is my guess.

Re: Jamal Murray needs to be suspended
I read the refs said after the game that if they had seen the heat pack it would've been a technical because it wasn't thrown specifically at someone. I assume the towel throw would've been a technical as well, so that should've been an ejection. Throw in the money gesture for the refs that got Gobert a 100k fine.
I don't think he gets suspended a game but I wouldn't be mad at it. He should get hit with the same fine or more as Gobert for the money sign since this is the playoffs and it's a larger audience.

The NBA has a rulebook with very clear rules. Players who can't abide by those rules should be punished. Players who choose to get ejected, such as Murray, are making that choice during the game.
Kick his ass out.
No. This is the playoffs. I want the players to decide the outcome not the league office. Rules can be bent for entertainment/quality purposes like how more physical play is allowed during the playoffs. Nothing short of successful assault of a referee or murder of another player on the court should result in suspension (yes that is hyperbole for saying the standards should much higher than this and that none of the previous suspensions in the playoffs have been warranted either).

Based on your wants, what would a player have to do to be suspended?
Because if you're letting things slide, future games in a series could get real ugly if players can virtually do whatever they want without fear of punishment.

Re: Jamal Murray needs to be suspended
He should be sidelined a game. You can't throw things on the court. You can't throw things at refs. You can't say disparaging things about referees. You can't make hand signals implying that the refs were paid off.
He did all four; not in a single instance but over the course of a game in separate incidents. In the playoffs. That's not a momentary lapse in judgement. It's a pattern of behavior.

He absolutely should be suspended. Just because no one got hurt doesn't make it any less dangerous.

Vegas will decide if he plays or not. Adam Silver will announce their decision soon if the bookies are OK with the bets placed so far in the series

If Embiid did what Murray did he would be shooting two free throws
And talked about how incredible a throw it was with the knee and palsy. Just a gutsy performance

What is taking so long with the decision. Give the teams, fans, players, bookies, bettors time to come to terms with if he is in or out already.

No suspension. Heavy fines per Shams

Pathetic. The NBA is a joke when it comes to this. In retrospect Draymond getting suspended for a finals game was a miracle. And if Silver was commissioner for the Malice in the Palice he would have given Artest an indefinites supsension that ended after 20 games.
I hope players start throwing things at Silver's wife just to see if he'll care. I doubt it.

Yeah. Most of us already suspected no suspension. Playoff suspensions are for 1 special person only.

Such a joke, but expected. It doesn't matter if the end result is a sweep for Minny either way; it's a bad precedent to set. Players are really starting to get away with a lot.

Good decision by Adam Silver. The working man pays his hard earned money to watch the best compete in the playoffs. He doesn't want, nor does he deserve, a watered down product based on trivial things.

Re: Jamal Murray needs to be suspended
I don't care that they didn't suspend him but it should've been more or two fines (100k for money gesture + 100k for throwing stuff on the court).
