Player safety matters until the ratings got threatened
This whole this is a show. In the entertainment business. Nothing tops that at the end of the day.
I bet Steven A snitch never called the league office I think he just likes the light skinned brothas more 🤡
NBA HIERARCHY:
1. Incomes/profits
2. Business
3. Ratings/image
4.5.6.7..10. Professional sports
as it should. I dont want to see them Suspend Jokic or Ant or Murray or Kat for this series. if you are a Twolves fan or want to see them win. You should be saying Let him play. no excuses
Sad 😢 but very true
Nba want that $$$$. Forget morals and integrity. They hate sweeps and if its a game 7. All is forgiven.
This not going 7 3 of the next 4 games in minnesota
Definitely
I'm sorry... they suspended Stoudemire against the spurs for bs... and spurs went on to sweep cavs in 07... this is pure favoritism... 2 different commissioners I get it... but still not right
@@Rushking20well hopefully the NBA will do what they can to take it to 7 games. So much lost revenue if its a short series
@@minjikim2161 So what, it is about the integrity of the game and setting the correct example of sportsmanship. so now, anytime you get pissed off, you throw a temper tantrum. This was WRONG....
We will remember this.

It seems they forgot lol

Nah the Nuggets have never been America's sweetheart.
Murray wanted to get suspended, their coach storming the floor also wanted to get suspended😂😂They knew it was over, like a boxer gettin beat down hard. Both of them didn't want to be on the floor for all 4 losses, no one's stupid here.
Good point 😂😂😂
Nuggets were always going to be a one and done championship team. The west were in change last season, the warriors were on the downfall from the dynasty and Miami snuck in as underdogs. It was poetry for them. The west is better and now it may be Boston finally in the finals to be competition.
@@dannynhl9441 great comment👍👍
@@dannynhl9441 Nah, they just need to add 1 or 2 pieces and they'll be right back in it. When you have a superstar like Jokic, you can't count that team out.

Oh really so why Draymond get suspended then?
Bro, you act like that's evidence to support your argument 😂 Silver and the league was WEAK against Green, what are you talking about?! 😂
If Patty Bev didn’t get suspended or even a tech for throwing a ball at a fan boy then Murray shouldn’t get suspended either
@@holdmyweight3597two different things casual
@@DRA25dra Dray did so many things over time to finally warrant a short suspension that did nothing to help him in the long run. He still acted out and got ejected. His suspension to some should of been the whole season. No one with multiple years of causing problems gets help after 10 games. Adam Silver should suspend Murray and send a message but he is soft leader and it;s always about money which is why certain players always get free pass.
Stephen A Smith NOW THIS is a play where you should call the league office to see if Murray should be suspended not a little scuffle between Russ and PJ Washington 😂
Facts
He won’t there was a motive when he did it to Westbrook
Westbrook punched Washington in the face. Are you kidding me? Throwing a heat pack and a towel is worse than a punch??? You guys are nuts. No Westbrook suspension then no Murray suspension.
@@nicholassims1947 the heating pack could have cause multiple injuries to multiple players at the same time, were u not paying attention when Tim Legler was describing the pack?? This was way worse than a "punch."
@@walterfields3467 A punch could have caused a death if Washington fell and hit his head and is an intentional act to cause physical violence to someone. No one is intentionally trying to injure someone by throwing a heat pack or a towel at a ref. Not to mention, Westbrook is a habitual violence seeker. It's one thing to think they both should have been suspended, but it's lunacy to suggest this is worse than a violent attack.
Apparently Stephen A. wasn’t told by ESPN to call the front office to find out why Jamal Murray isn’t suspended… 😂😂😂
David Stern would of suspended him the remainder of the playoffs
That man dont play
Right
Adam Silver has no had idea how bad of a message this sends, this is one of his biggest L’s.
@@S-TierIguess🎯🎯🎯
they can't suspend anyone else going forward.
If it was a Timberwolves player, they would’ve been suspended.
My thoughts exactly. The NBA needs to set the standard in order to have a safe environment, especially in the playoffs.
Yep, let those bench riders throw something against opposing players on the court.
Silver will always be a lesser man compared to stern.
100k is like pennies to these players
Right
Nahh, it’s more like 100$. You have it, but it’s still annoying.
I heard it’s one quarter for him.
@@realdreamerschangetheworld7470try $10
Murray is gonna have an even worse game 3 to make up for it.
fr denver gets swept
He will score 30+ and the Nuggets will win game 3. Bookmark this and come back here when I’m right 🤧
well at the very least Murray guarenteed he's gonna get no calls for the rest of this series and possibly the rest of his career. He's definitely on the referee blacklist
@@holdmyweight3597 One thing's for sure, Minnesota is not gonna change overnight. They've been playing defense like this for 88 games.
@olivercool2308I think game 3 will be the nuggest only win this series
It is a disgrace. One of the biggest temper tantrums I’ve ever seen from a professional athlete. If you’re a player, I guess it’s okay to throw stuff on the court 😂😂
Don’t forget the announcers called him out for literally crying out to his dad in the stands lol
Can’t believe this hasn’t gotten memed more
Even if we deem the punishment as "light", he actually got punished and thus is a message that it is NOT OK TO THROW STUFF ON THE COURT. So my friend, your comment is WILD!
@@ZaggaZye the guy makes 33 million this year and will make 36 million next year not including other endorsements. It’s a slap on a wrist. This is the NBA counting its dollars and determining they’ll make more money with him on the floor than off in the playoffs, therefore it is a disgrace, my friend.
@@ZaggaZye you realize his penalty was the equivalent to 100 dollar fine for a 60k a year worker.
But please explain how that’s a real punishment
Davond would have been gone...
Denver should bench him to show the NBA there’s still some integrity left in this league.
OMG chill people make mistakes you moron.
Jaja why in the world would they do that
Because he'll keep Bricking in game 3 and hurt the Nuggets lmao
@@javierlopez5479 Besides upholding whatever integrity Jamal has left, I also believe they’d play better without him in this series. He keeps turning the ball over and can’t figure out how to play through Minnesota’s size. It would force Denver to think outside the box, which is what they need to stay competitive in this series.
They would never do that because Yoker would then be seriously exposes. yoker could not have played in the 80's....Wes Unseld would eat he alive...
How is Adam Silver a great commissioner? He did nothing in that Shannon Sharpe vs. Memphis situation, he mishandled the Ja Morant issue, he hide on the Draymond Green Jordan Poole fight, The unfair treatment with the Kyrie Irving and the link tweet about that movie and now this Jamal Murray non suspension…the guy is not a great commissioner!
Give me a break with the Kyrie Irving nonsense. The movie he posted is unquestionably anti-Semitic and peddles in old and debunked anti-Semitic myths. You don't blast out a link to your 5 million twitter followers with no commentary because you think the movie is trash. Kyrie Irving is, at best, an uninformed fool and an anti-Semite at worst.
And BLM disaster which tanked ratings.
@@johnmarston6429 indeed!!!
Definitely needed a suspension. Throwing things twice. And risking injurie to the most valuable asset and the disrespect off throwing anything at the official. 😂 I love his game and who he is as a player on man but they need to look at this again.
He didn’t get suspended because nothing happened afterwards (no one got injured). These ppl keep talking hypotheticals like “someone could’ve gotten injured” well it’s pointless because in reality no one did
@@holdmyweight3597that’s not the law works and that’s not how anything in the professional world works my dude. You can’t just say no harm no foul. He did something wrong so he deserved a reasonable punishment. This fine isn’t that.
Worst part is him throwing it only distracted his teammates 😂, had KCP kicking it and Jokic looking at KATs feet before he went up for the lay
If he think he didn't get any calls from the refs before..he ain't seen nothing yet..😅
I thought the same thing!
Facts. He had 3 infractions that game and only got a 100k fine. The gesture towards the ref saying they're cheating, the towel and the heat pack. He basically tried to assault a ref and still gets to play.
facts. the refs for games 3 and 4 are not only home court for wolves now but they now know murray was basically assaulting refs last game. if they weren’t giving him calls in DENVER, they def ain’t giving him ANY calls in minnesota for the next two games. no excuses either cuz nuggets all healthy 😂. this gon be the most disrespectful and embarrassing beatdown since nuggets swept the lakers last year 💀
@@bruhchilllMurray is healthy?
@@jesseswarbrick7895 if ur on the court, ur healthy, at least according to the "critics" of curry in the 2016 playoffs...
This is pure favoritism. Denver game one had a significant foul differential in the last 6 quarters of this series. Malone and Murray would have been suspended if their names were Draymond Green and Steve Kerr. I can't wait till that fugazi team is eliminated by Ant.
Kerr wouldn't get suspended, and Draymond is a repeat offender lol
Curry threw his mouth piece years ago. What was his punishment?
💯 if this was back in the day I could see a hard foul taking place on Murray from a bench warmer. Throwing a heat pad on to the floor risking injuries. But nowadays I can see a couple of side mouth comments, and a podcast about the situation…
Fugazi? 😂
Yes Fugazi 😂 I’m from Jersey haven’t heard that in awhile I’m in Va
Same fine as Gobert money sign to officials, which Murray also did this game. What a joke Adam Silver is.
Right David stern would never
"that's the same heating pack I think I wore in the 90's" 😂
They think Adam Silver care about player safety when he has been polite af to Draymond for almost a decade now who year in and year out harms opposing players. Harshest punishment given to Draymond was just this season and even then it came back within 2-3 weeks lol
No suspension. The best punishment is getting this sweep
Ye, I mean what can he do. He just cancelled his own career.
The NBA is too soft. They should have suspended him. 100k fine is just slap in the wrist and murray was earning millions of dollars. Very unsportsman.
The people wanting him suspended are soft. If he gotten suspended and the Nuggets went on to lose the series everyone would be saying Wolves only don cause he was suspended and they gave Denver no chance.
The league wants a long series. Suspending him would give the edge to the Wolves
@@holdmyweight3597nuggets are down 2-0 At home
@@holdmyweight3597 what if someone got injured and you'll just let him play without punishment? The nba is soft and the punishment is only 100k not even a fraction of what murray is earning.
@@holdmyweight3597😂😂😂😂😂 stop it if they can suspend Draymond in the NBA finals, they should of suspended Murray. You’re idiot
@@holdmyweight3597 They have a better chance of winning without him in this series. You can't shoot with handcuffs on 😂. He's locked up 😂.
Players should just throw stuff from the bench every game now if they aren’t gonna get suspended
Also a player throwing a fit and getting suspended for throwing things on the court is not an excuse for losing, I am glad the game will be better with him in it.
It would’ve been better if Murray was suspended. Denver would have a better shot at winning without his 1/12 from the field. Addition by subtraction.
3 acts of sore loser behavior, and the nba only fines him for one. Not a good look for the nba. Playing favorites is going to bring some unwarranted hate.
Facts I was thinking he’d get fined at least $300k bc he did 3 things that’d get you fined $100k
@@manamongstboyz8956 💯 I can’t believe I’m actually agreeing with mad dog on this one.
There's a saying that you can really tell a lot about people's character by seeing how they handle adversity. Murray is a classic case for this matter.
He was all butterflies when he hit those 2 game winners but would throw things the second he plays bad 😂😂😂
This is setting a disgusting precedent.
Now people know players can throw things onto the court, risk other players' health... And be charged some pocket change.
That they can afford
And throw stuff on fans..
This reminds me when Kielce got ejected for throwing his towel at the referee 😂
Minnesota took his heart.
Player availability is so much more important to this commissioner than player safety, nobody should be suprised by this in the slightest.
Hey Stephen A Smith. You mind making a few calls to figure out WHY there was no suspension made, please? Just like you did for Westbrook. Let's hear it.
He lowkey denver 😂
If David Stern was still commissioner the thought of tossing something onto the court wouldn’t have crossed Murray’s mind.
People would complain either way if he got suspended nuggets are basically done and would go down 0-3 and people would say the suspension helped
Nuggets ain't done yet. We won on the road in the playoffs before. Twice last year against LA and once this year against La in the last series. Now if we lose game 3 on Friday then as a nuggets fan I think it's over with too.
@@REAlMIDOFFICIAL The Nuggets aren't winning 4 of 5 games against the Timberwolves. It's over.
@@REAlMIDOFFICIALu do know that Jamaal is hurt and Jackson is wearing a boot but u think that won't hinder after gm 2? Got to give it to u, u loyal to Denver bu
mad dog word for word in opening was right..don't care what legs has to say and I'm in VA !
One of the few times I agree with this dude. It should have been suspension. They’re desperate to give Denver every break they can.
100k for Murray is LAUGHABLE 😂😂😂 What a JOKE
It's a joke indeed, especially when Murray makes 50 million dollars in a year.
the whole Minnesota crowd should throw toilet paper rolls at the start of the game to protest this BS decision.
That’s mature
I thought he would be suspended but for the sake of playoff basketball I'm glad he wasn't.
Look SAS face he falls on NBA All-star game to shoot a ball 😂😂
What about the fact that find fine is light too. If no suspension at least 500k
Right
"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"
With the amount of things Jamal did out there it was like he was trying to be suspended. And somehow the league still missed the mark.
Anyhow, him having to play game 3 in Minnesota against McDaniels is probably punishment enough
This is embarrassing for ESPN and the NBA. To say the rating are prioritized over an Hostile act is embarrassing
Remember when the Spurs won the championship where, in the Suns series, a game was out of reach and Robert Horry cheap shotted Nash? The Suns got all their key players suspended for stepping on the court. This shows the difference between this commissioner and the previous one.
David Stern was way harsher and more stern than Silver. Just look at how he handled Malice at the Palace. Suspending Ron Artest for the rest of that season was proof of it and made no fcking sense
Mad Dog kept it a hunnid on this, 💯
He’s not suspended because SAS has yet to call the league office 📞
We haven't even heard from Jamal , explaining his action publicly 😕😕😕😕😕
So Stephen A didn't make that call to the league office......😬
The money gesture before the tosses 😂😂😂😂 that Rudy 100k alone.
I just wanna know did Stephen A call the league office ???
I think because the league is so compromised with game management that when its the playoffs and tickets prices are out the roof that him not suspending Jamal was a good thing! Give ppl their money's worth 💯
100% David Stern would have suspended him. No question about it. Now it's all about the money due to sports betting.
Wow that’s beyond unacceptable by the league to not suspend
A fan should try and do what Murray did, see what happens
Dumb comparison
Exactly! They’re 2-0 and the NBA don’t want a sweep
Spare the Rod and spoil the child ! What a Disgrace !! Adam Silver has NO CONSCIENCE!!
If Draymond did this, he’d be in Guantanamo Bay for a year.
Murray is a Champion and gets a slap on the wrist but yet LeBron gets more disrespect and he has never done this, he just won 4 titles and broke the scoring record.
Bringing Lebron into a conversation that has absolutely nothing to do with him. Clown.
@@phillipsouthard8285 because this is true though.. a guy is being hated for being good in his craft ;)
@@phillipsouthard8285
You’re the clown. They clown him every time one of you clowns favorite players or teams beat him. Then they go on to get clowned even more getting beat by 20 but they are champions(clowns). Those who are really clowns start calling others clown to start a conversation. Maybe you should find another clown fan like yourself so you can discuss how everyone else is a clown because you and whomever don’t have real things to talk about, clownn!
@@perfect_night_0 Where in this video did it mention Lebron, or any hate towards his craft? It didn't. If you're gonna slobber on Lebron's knob, at least do it on a video that he's actually being talked about in.
Ratings > player safety (doing the right thing)
If it was Larry Bird that did this, he would say it was justified 😂
I’m not sure he would fr 😂
Are you implying he’s racist?
Stupid comment.
Wow what a stupid thing to say
You're right lol
As someone who wants Minnesota to win, I’m going to zag here…
Murray should have been fined 500k then forced to play 45 minutes 😂
Im with Mad Dog on this one…
Legs hilarious, same heat pad from the 90s 😂
He should be Fined atleast a Half A MIL!!
Well now we know: throw whatever you want on the floor, you'll get no punishment.
Refs in 7
Lol
He threw 2 things at the referee! That should have been an automatic suspension!
Man I am rooting for the nuggets but this is kinda nonsense….why even have these rules if they don’t matter?
You know what? I am furious! As an American living in Europe this makes no sense. Here in Europe if this was the fine, the team would take the league to court. Where is the Soda's FO that I give so much credit to? Speak up! Gobert got fined that same amount for doing only one of those things, the money sign and that does not even compare to throwing things on court.
So two games in we have a T on Edwards for LOOKING someone with a mean look and on the other hand we have a player throwing 2 things at the ref and by the way missing even those and their coach invading the court. And they didn't even get a T.
Man I hope the players take it personally and go even harder at them.
The shady officiating is the real problem here…I’m watching this from a completely neutral viewpoint (warriors eliminated) and I think the nba had an embarrassing night of refereeing Monday night and it should be addressed…they literally let kat just lower his shoulder and absolutely plow over Murray with no call and you’re wondering why he’s so upset lol the wolves defense is impressive but at the same time they’re letting them just mug Jokic in the paint they’re holding his jersey and pulling it down on almost every single possession and it’s obvious…in the knicks game in crunch time they called a ridiculous kickball when Brunson made a lazy sloppy turnover and then called a moving screen on the final chance for Indiana when they could make that call every single possession of the game but don’t…this type of officiating should be investigated and the refs should be fined for this stuff not the players lol
100% all good examples... That fake "offensive foul" against Indiana was shocking...
Dude they also fouled AE on that play that Malone got upset. Also, did you see that ridiculous tech AE got in the first game? Yet, the ones complaining are the nuggets it makes no sense to me.
@@stopit3945 I think Malone would be fine with a foul being called there he was mad about the charge on kat that they didn’t call and just overall letting them control Jokic by holding his jersey lol I agree the refs have been awful both ways I never said they haven’t.
Thank you 💯 you can tell all these idiots in the comments and commenting on this didn’t actually watch the game.
Amare Stoudemire stepped 2 feet over the line off the bench to check on Steve Nash after being hip-checked by Robert Horry. he was suspended.
He doesn't get suspended because the league doesn't want Denver to get swept they see what the TWolves are doing to them with no ref help so this is why they didn't suspend him ....Next will be his calf strain pop back up ..
He does have a calf injury, you denying that just shows you don’t know anything about Murray or Nuggets basketball. It’s ok to admit you’re a casual
@@Neofilmcritic he only have a calf injury is when he's struggling he didn't have a calf injury dunking on LeBron and shooting elevated jump shots stop it the injury stuff is kept in the closet until a player has a bad game 🎯
Mad dog is spot on with this one
NBA is rigged man. Straight bs. Embid didn’t get throw out a game that later ended a players postseason by pulling him down to the ground. Murray should have been suspended. This is bs
Someone on Timberwolves need to also throw a towel during game three
Murray has always been like this
Only 100k is crazy. I guess Gobert calling out the league with the money sign is the exact same thing as potentially injuring someone and throwing stuff at an official to the NBA.
Murray would’ve had to have pulled out a gun to get suspended…..😂😂#FREEMORANT
Players and others safety is a top priority and David Stern was truly hard on decisions like this against what Jamal did. Agreed with Stephen about David's name being brought up a lot about some calls made from Adam Silver. You make an example out of one and continue that reputation, others will see.
SAS , keep that same energy like how you had it for Westbrook 😮
Forget the fans. They’re not on the court. The Timberwolves are. Murray now has a target on his jersey.
Another great show, my favourite show on TV all the way from Australia. Love Wednesday nights especially with Mad Dog.
This Adam Silvers NBA gotta get that money
What a bad precedent... let's see how they handle future throwing of dangerous objects to the court and refs
The NBA doesn’t want a sweep 😅
That might be a blessing in disguise for the Nuggets. Murray has played very inconsistently since they met the Lakers. Maybe making Reggie the starter could be a temporary solution as he plays more efficiently.
Bad dog is the definition of “old man yells at cloud”
I am all in on Timberwolves now. This is a disgrace that Murray wasnt suspended, and i say this as a Murray fan. Justice is more important than watching one of my favourite players playing.
They are protecting Denver from going down 3-0 😂
Mad Dog kinda sounds like a male version of Judge Judy!
This series not leaving MINN
lol
That dude really starting with: "What about that one incident 25 years ago?"
