Jamal Murray has been fined $100,000 for throwing multiple objects in the direction of a game official during live play.
Murray’s actions took place during the Nuggets’ 106-80 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of their conference semifinals playoff series on May 6 at Ball Arena.

No techs for absolutely tech worthy complaining and yelling, no techs for throwing items, no suspensions. If any other coach or player would have gone to a refs face it would have been an automatic rejections, they were in the past. They were able to hit DLo in the head "after the ball was out of his hands" even though he was still in the air and like jump shooters could have gotten hurt without a foul, this is a whole new level of insane.

I wonder why Murray wasn’t suspended. They suspended Draymond for far less, which is still the greatest travesty in the younger history of this league.
A hit on the head is a foul, regardless if the player has released the ball or not. Especially if they are still in the air like Russell was. He could have easily been injured with the fall.RipCityKJ wrote:tigerae wrote:Wait, he threw multiple things not just the heat pad?

I was with you until the end, no sympathy for the Lakers and bad calls when for years they’ve lead the league in free throws with almost twice as many as the second most team and they committed the least fouls. Even with that help LeBron and the fans still bitch about unfairness

Regardless of what team it is, that was an unacceptable call to blatantly get wrong, especially after reviewing it. If I was playing, after that call was over turned for that bs explanation I would make sure to hit every single player going in for a drive right after they released the ball. If we make rules on the fly then let's use them.

Of all people and fan groups, of course its the lakers guys who complain about a lack of calls.
Couldn’t come up with that stuff even if i tried to.

What is bad about it is that this isn't something that happened "in the heart of the moment", like bang bang someone shoves you and you shove them back, you are literally stewing on the side line and throw not one but two items at the ref, one of which goes onto the floor and is inches away from multiple players feet and could have caused a serious injury easily?
I get that Murray has no history and also get that they don't want to make a major suspension in the season, but this was definitely suspension worthy.

(And there are COUNTLESS examples of Laker bias going the other direction to more than offset.)
Let it go and stay focused on this issue that the thread is about.
Murray should've been suspended because he threw multiple things and he wasn't.
Nothing to do with the Lakers.
