Jamal Murray FINED $100k for GM 2 incident 👀 'It was a RECKLESS ACT!' 🗣️ - Tim Legler | Get Up 

So he was fined $100k for throwing the heating pack, where's the fine for the towel throw and making the money sign at the refs? Maybe Gobert should get his 100k back?

After how bad he played and how mad he got in Game 2, the league decided that NOT suspending and forcing him to play Game 3 in front of that Minnesota crowd is the real punishment 😂

Jamal Murray’s $100k fine sure sparked some debate! It’s surprising the NBA didn’t suspend him for that Game 2 incident. GreenHatAI picked up on this tension, and it’s clear emotions are running high as the playoffs heat up.

Rudy got fined 100k just for making the money gesture. Thats crazy.

If the Nuggets were up 2-0, you know he would have been suspended.

They fined him the same amount that they fined Rudy Gobert when he made the money sign at the ref (which Jamal Murray ALSO did on Monday). Favoritism like this is insane

HE SHOULD BE SUSPENDED! Due to the fact he had three instances, Rudy got fined 100k for doing the money sign towards the ref… Jamal did that AND THREW things at the ref… TWICE. They are blatantly bending rules and it’s frustrating to see. ANT got a tech last game for LOOKING at Reggie Jackson saying no words …. The league needs to get it TOGETHER

Not being suspended is crazy

So Jamal got the same fine amount for all the things he did and it was equal to Gobert just doing the money sign? 😂😂😂 ADAM SILVER IS WEAK

It is crazy that the NBA didn't suspend Jamal Murray for at least one game, because what he did was very dangerous and could've seriously hurt somebody out there on the court.

i’m so confused how rudy gets fined 100K for the money gesture. but jamal does it + the throwing objects 2x is 100K as well 🤔

They just gave everyone a reason to root for Minnesota

It's unbelievable to me that anyone can throw multiple things out on the court and not get suspended. This is another example that quite frankly, the NBA wants Denver to win this series. The fact that Anthony Edwards received a technical foul for a stare down. And now in game 2 the Coach SCREAMS face to face with the ref and doesn't get ejected or even a technical foul? And then a player throws not one, but two items on the floor and again there is no technical, no ejection, and now no suspension. All of these calls and lack thereof are in favor of one team, the same team, the Denver Nuggets. If a fan threw something out on the court they are kicked out and lose their season tickets, sometimes lose the ability to ever go to a game again in that arena. The heating pack nearly made its way under Towns' foot and could have caused a serious injury. The NBA is an absolute joke of a league, more rigged than any other sport on the planet.

How is that not a suspension?? He does it twice!

Rudy made a money gesture at a ref. 100k fine. In one game Murray did the same gesture. And threw a towel at a ref and a heat pack on the court mid play. No tech same fine. Wild

.3% of his salary. That’ll really show him!! What a joke.

I understand no one got hurt, but the chance of KAT or someone under the basket slipping on that pad should've absolutely warranted a suspension. This is crazy

Shock value? He makin millions 100k is pennies 😭

I think a lot of people are downplaying just how dangerous that heating pack really is. That thing came within inches of KAT stepping on it with his leg fresh off of surgery. Maybe it’s just cause I’m a Wolves fan, but reckless decisions like that should have bigger repercussions than making money signs.

Dangerous precedent, Should be suspended next season, 10 games, no pay, and any other incident by him, a 1 yr suspension. Terrible!

Replace Adam Silver as the NBA commissioner already. For f'cks sake.

wow…no suspension…just wow

He deserved harsher punishment than that.The officiating in the post season is just ridiculous

Jamal did 3 things: throw something on the court, throw something at the ref, AND threw up the money sign. 100k was given for one of those offenses with Rudy.

It’s about ratings. If they suspend Murray, Denver loses the series and ratings drop.

Rudy did one of the three, the money sign, and got fined the same amount. How is that fair.

This is the equivalent of a normal person being fine 100-500 bucks

I would be pissed if I was Rudy Gobert!

Appreciate the honest reaction. This is why media is important.

Making Murray play the T Wolves at home is arguably a worse punishment.

The NBA's standard of discipline is arbitrary and makes no sense. Murray was supposed to be suspended for what he did. What if he hits someone in the eye with the heating pad?

i lost respect for the NBA david stern would of suspended him for the rest of the playoffs i miss david stern

It's hilarious that the Wolves broke Murray... dude was having a tantrum most of the game lmao. LETS GO WOLVES! KEEP EATIN THEM CHICKEN NUGGETS!

the "he didnt hurt anybody" so thats why it didnt go to a suspension is stupid af. So we wait to injure a player to take necessary measures??

The NBA is protecting their stars because it affects their bottom line at all lvls

He threw two things and one at a referee. He insinuated that the refs were on the take. His coach walked on the court and got in the face of an official. The level of disrespect is on an all time high. Denver is being treated differently than any other team. He needed to suspended for an aggressive act against an official.

Goes to show the NBA is stricter towards people who actually hurt their brand (Ja) than those who actually hurt (try) other people like Jamal. A 100,000usd fine isnt going to hurt Jamal in any way shape or form. I guess it really is all about the benjamins.

At least now we have confirmation that NBA actually stands for No Backbone Association if you’re a star player

Let’s not forget that Draymond got suspended against Cleveland and it significantly altered the finals. Bron was gifted a championship and made history coming from 3-1. We all know if Draymond didn’t get suspended that was a 4-1 Warrior Championship. This situation could’ve been career ending if say KAT slipped on it while putting back the layup, or even one of his own teammates. He was reckless enough that he could’ve injured his own teammates. This is a slap on the wrist.

This decision shows the complete bias and corruption behind whoever is making these decisions. These people have too much money involved to NOT fix games 🤣

I think a lot of Timberwolves fans want Murray to play. It's not like they're struggling to win him on the floor.

If the Nuggets somehow come back in this series and wins it this conversation is coming back to this conversation

I’m a Nuggets fan and I’m surprised he was not suspended. He better get that apology out ASAP but the fans in Minnesota will let him have it.

the towel wasn’t the only item aimed at the ref, the heating pad was also aimed at the ref

You get a speeding ticket because of the potential harm you can cause while doing it. Charges are much stiffer if someone is hurt while speeding.

Rudy was fined 100k for money gesture . Jamal murry did that plus more and gets fined 100k how

"This series, Murray has thrown a towel, thrown a heating pad, shot finger guns at players, and mocked refs with money signs. 0 technical fouls"

For the life of me I don't understand how on earth Murray didn't get suspended for his actions. That was one of the most dangerous situations I've ever seen done on a court in the NBA smh.

I believe Mike Greenberg Drinks a 5 Gallon Jug of Espresso before every show.

Ratings over player safety

The fact is the NBA didn't want to end the Nuggets defense of thier Championship on a suspension. But what's more amazing is the NBA fined him less than 1% of his salary, 0.003%. WOW.

If it wasn't Jamal or another star player, it would be a suspension

This is a joke. Murray should’ve been suspended, because if fans had done that they would be escorted from the arena & given a 1-2 year or lifetime ban

The NBA have set a stupid precedent cos when someone does the exact same thing in future and it if actually hurts someone, then they can’t give suspension for it bc that guy is going to turn around and say you didn’t suspend Jamal Murray

How & WHY did he not get suspended?What if he injured somebody? So because nobody got hurt, he only gets a fine? Imagine if someone DID slip on it. Just make him pay 200k instead right? Absolute joke.

How is a player throwing things at the ref not worthy of a suspension?!

If Draymond did that, he'd be BANNED 4 LIFE!!!

Im glad he wasn’t suspended because then they would have an excuse for getting swept they’re getting blown out of the gym at there full potential(Yes he should’ve been suspended btw)and yes I am indeed a Lakers fan lol

The precedent they set here is crazy. If a team is going down for a winning basket throw something at them better to get a T and a fine then lose the game

as much as I want this series to be competitive as a basketball fan. The no suspension call is just outright ridiculous.

can't help but think what woulda happened if that heat pack slid near Jokic's feet, he steps on it and rolls an ankle then misses the rest of the series Murray wouldn't have to worry about the league fining or suspending him, he'd have to worry about his own team kicking the $&!# out of him lol what a crybaby bozo

*Penny* *Hardaway* So I’ve been aware that Michael Cooper is entering the Hall of Fame this year and he was nominated for a really long time. It got me thinking? Why not Anfernee Deon “Penny” Hardaway? He was nominated to the HoF for the first time next to the recently deceased Walter Davis whom Michael Jordan idolized as a kid. The reason why I believe Penny Hardaway should be in the Hall of Fame is because Tracy McGrady got in there and as a first year ballot! Penny showed class to show up to Shaq’s Orlando Magic jersey retirement. Shaq ditched Penny for LA. I like how they’re still cool while MJ and Scottie won 6 rings and can no longer be in the same events together. Tracy McGrady 7x All-Star 2x All-NBA First Team 3x All-NBA Second Team 2x All-NBA Third Team 2x scoring champion Most Improved Player Penny Hardaway 4x All-Star 2x All-NBA First Team 1x All-NBA Third Team All-Rookie First Team I know Penny only had 4 good years starting with his rookie year until his injury in 1997. But he did make the Finals by his 2nd year. T-Mac couldn’t get out of the First Round for years. Then didn’t make it passed the Semis until he got to Houston. Made the Finals with the Spurs in 2013 as one of the last guys coming off the bench. Michael Cooper won 1 DPOY, 5 rings, but was never an all-star and averaged 8.9 PPG in his career. Vlade Divac is in the HoF. Toni Kukoc was an all-star once and he’s in the HoF. Penny is better than them both when all were at their peak. Chris Webber is in the HoF. I believe Penny Hardaway will eventually get in there. More people will realize he deserves it and also look at his NCAA coaching contributions. Penny will have Shaq as his HoF presenter.

You get to see the true character of a person when things are not going their way

the most shameful aspect of this punishment is the nba did not have their Ref's back. a player throws two things at a ref and gets basically a slap on the wrist.

Jamal you really have a strain calf now 🥶🥶

The commissioner is so soft it’s ridiculous and laughable. But that’s the guy they want running the league and why players run rampant doing whatever they want. 🤷

That punishment is so inconsistent. Gobert got the same 100k just for the money sign. Jamal did money sign, threw a towel, and threw a heating pad.

1:23 that 2016 Spurs team with Duncan, Kawhi and LaMarcus Aldridge was no joke. They won a franchise record 67 games the same year Golden State had their 73 win season.

Jamal has lived long enough to see himself become the villain. Dude went from being celebrated for being clutch to being 🤡'd on. The difference a couple of days can make. 😂

Rudy Gobert got the same fine ($100K) for flashing a money sign in March. Murray threw stuff on the court and gave the sign! Should have been a quarter mil.

Money gesture (Gilbert got 100k for that alone), Towel toss and heat pad toss AT THE REF. Murray girl gave Adam that goodie

The essence of the old nba finds its way back, it will not die, that is, hard defense. As I’m watching this, I can’t help but think Boston would not (will not) be able to handle T-wolves’ defense. It is too suffocating. And it proves that what we need is true old school ball. The softness of the league and the regularity of teams scoring 120-140 leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Plus it taints the accomplishments of those who would score 35-40 with hand checking and a big being able to sit in the paint all game!

Draymond saying he doesn’t believe it should be a suspension is null and void because if Draymond threw that heating pad they’d fine him $500k and suspended him the next game maybe even 2 games…

Weren't people saying the Cav's played better without Mitchell?

Those Wolves Bites are getting under Murray's skin 😂

It was intentional Bro feeling devious

Its mind blowing how much talent is in the league

Hopefully this situation can help people learn empathy for superstars who sit out to heal.

They didn't suspend him because the world would bet their life money all on the wolves and all betting places would go bankruptcy

Adam Silver is soft on the players. David Stern would've definitely suspended Murrey with no hesitation.

Defending the decision by saying there needs to be a show on Friday is absolutely disgusting. Actions need to be punished. This is a horrible precedent. Wouldnt be surprised if more things get thrown at the refs now that everyone knows its ok.

After Embiid got to pull Robinson down and nothing happened, the precedent was set.

This fine was like a lil warnin tap that you get from your teacher like hey don’t do that no more

So the message the league and the commissioner is sending is. You can act a fool and break the rules as long as the game and you are important enough.

I think the real punishment is what he’s gonna have to experience in Game 3 and Game 4 in Minneapolis, that’s why I don’t think they suspended him.

When did Derrick White become Derrick Jordan? 🤔 He’s been incredible!!! 💯

@13:19 whats MPJ doing in the paint watching the play? That's why they will get swept by the wolves. If the exactly same play happened on the other end all those 3 guys in the paint would be swarming Jokic or anyone else that had the ball.

Is anyone besides me going to check Tim Legler for the moosed up surf haircut?? 😂😂😂slow down old man you can only be 21 once lol

Meanwhile everyone has already forgotten about Pat Bev's antics.

Explain to me what’s different than Beverly throwing the ball in the stands twice(once soft and seconds time harder) and Murray throwing a towel almost on court and then throwing a heating pack harder to make it on the court. Both had potential to seriously harm.

Officials be using their power against those players There needs to be context. It’s not always the players

They want the series to go longer for more money. It's obvious. Only explanation why he not only didn't get a suspension but also got fined the same as Gobert for doing a lot more. Jamal gets suspended and Nuggets don't have a chance and go down 0-3. The NBA couldn't be anymore obvious at this point that the rules are not equal.

The NBA suspended Kyrie for a Twitter post….let that sit.

The basketball Gods are watching. No one gets a pass. Timberwolves in 5.

LOOK! Steve A! S.G.A not only stuck out his foot, he purposely LIFTED his foot to create contact with Luka! In turn an injury derails Luka's performance throughout the rest of the evening. 😢 Steve if you're still able to contact the Association please do. Only on the pretense of bringing it to their attention. It's so obvious and the result of the offensive foul could dictate the outcome of the series. Honestly it warrants some type of action against S.G.A. I know everyone is seeing this, but no one is saying it. Maybe because it wasn't caught "called " in the game. Bring this to the light, before he does it again and again to the whole league. #stevena #nba #sga #luka #gonuggs

The takeaway: If you can afford it, throw whatever you want on the court. Precedent set. The NBA is odd right now. They hand out technicals for the slightest sign of rudeness and then barely punish anyone for throwing things, marching onto the court to scream at the ref, or tossing people around. Make it make sense.

16:39 No suspension? Come see what happens on Friday, see what the fans have to say! Target Center will be the loudest place in the world Friday night

He should've been suspended 2 games in the next season as well. Someone could've gotten injured on the court. And the fine should've been higher

I'm glad Jamal Murray was fined not suspended. I want him to be there on the floor and feel it when the Nuggets get swept. Lakers fan here😂😂

I’m with Legler-glad both teams are healthy for the entertainment value, but I have absolutely no idea what justification for no suspension would be. If I’m a team now, I absolutely am considering throwing something on the floor to impact a game if the opportunity presents itself.
