Murry isn't getting any calls on his incessant flops. I'm sure he's frustrated.

In consecutive series, the Timberwolves have taken apart Devin Booker and Jamal Murray, frustrating them and reducing them to bickering with officials for fouls that aren't there.

Chris Finch: "The goal has always been to put out a team that people like to cheer for. That doesn’t happen unless you play hard and it usually doesn’t happen unless you play defense and share the ball. We’re doing all those things right now."

Chris Finch raving about Jaden McDaniels: "He hasn’t connected in the scoring column, but my God, he’s a +26. The other day he was a +23. He didn’t have a bucket. He’s got 5 points in the series and he’s a +50. It’s not about how you score, it’s about how you help your team win"

Finch calls Murray throwing a heat pack onto the floor “inexcusable and dangerous.”

Denver wasn't used to that kind of defense.....I thought Murray was going to cry.

What kind of suspension or fine should the Denver coach get for the altercation with the ref and Murray get for throwing a hot pack.

Should have been a T on coach. Nothing more.

Murray should get suspended one game. You can't throw things at the ref.


Yup. KAT stepped on it. Sam Mitchell made the point “what happens if he sprains his ankle and is out for the series? What would the punishment for Murray be?”

Sam was pissed.

There should absolutely be an immediate suspension for it.

There actually was a towel throw first at the ref from Murray that had zero effect and he then threw the heat pack. He will probably have his mom join his dad at the end of the bench at the next game....what a baby.

The fact that he threw anything at all at a referee should mandate a suspension. That it could have injured another player only reinforces it. Take Mitchell's sprained ankle analogy a step further; KAT is coming off meniscus surgery.

RT if you wanna see @KevinGarnett5KG back in Minnesota for game 3 & 4. #WolvesBack

What would the odds be KG shows up? I think very low myself since Taylor is still the owner.

Your a grown man playing a professional sport.

Murray is a bigger baby than Booker.

He was wrong. And that frustrated him.

None the less he absolutely should face a 1 game suspension. Looks like he needs the rest anyhow.
The Wolves played unbelievable defense last night. Play at that level and we could win it all!

It's similar to Donald Trump throwing Big Macs and ketchup around the White House.

Its not a rumor and it has nothing to do with Taylor. He's always had an opt-out after Year 2.

Threw 2 things on the floor - one of which was really dangerous. And he made the "money" sign to the ref.

And he got the same fine as Rudy just for making the money sign.

Apparently 100K is the max fine.

Ridiculous he wasn't suspended.

Perhaps premature but loved a K Garnett comment: Kevin Garnett: This is the defensive version of what the Warriors did for offense when the league wasn’t ready! Defense that sells tickets!?

With the talent on this team it would surprise me he would leave.

It'll probably depend on how he feels about the direction of the team once ownership is settled.
