Draymond Green, a great player for the Golden State Warriors, expressed his opinion about the NBA’s unfair treatment of Jamal Murray for his behavior in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals. The Denver Nuggets point guard tossed a towel and a heating pack at an official during their matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the NBA decided not to ban him.

Having been fined and suspended several times in his career, Green said he didn’t understand how the league decides how long and how much punishment suits players. The four-time winner spoke about this subject when he was a guest on “The Big Pod with Shaq.”

Draymond Green said at 9:39: “The problem that I have oftentimes with the suspensions, you don’t know what it is… It’s all over the place. I think it was absolutely insane that you get a $100,000 fine, no suspension, no nothing for throwing a heating pack at an official? I throw a word at an official, they throw me under the jail.”

Murray’s antics during a blowout game did not result in a suspension. However, Murray was Fined $100,000 for his behavior. A few fans had anticipated that the point guard would be punished for his behavior, but all that happened was a fine. With no more consequences, the Canadian point guard played the entire series.

Draymond Green Was Once Suspended From the NBA Finals

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Warriors squared battle in the 2016 NBA Finals. Draymond Green and LeBron James got caught up in Game 4 of the series, which resulted in a fight. The league thus suspended Green.

He was absent from Game 5 of the series, which may have changed the result. However, devoted followers know how the Cavs rallied from a 1-3 series deficit.

During his interview on O’Neal’s podcast, Draymond Green said he thought he would have been the Finals MVP if he hadn’t been suspended. Nevertheless, Cleveland gained momentum and won the series thanks to the suspension.

Anthony Edwards captured the spotlight after ending the Denver Nuggets’ playoff run on Sunday not for his performance in the Minnesota colors, but for his bold statement regarding opponent Jamal Murray.

After the game, when Ant-Man was surrounded by cameras and reporters in the Ball Arena hallways, he was heard saying, “I had Jamal in handcuffs.” This was not the first time Anthony Edwards made the headlines with his post-game antics at Ball Arena, but this time, it was different solely due to the winning feeling.

After being outscored by the Nuggets in the first half, Edwards knew he couldn’t solely rely on his offensive abilities but also display his skills at the other end of the court. So he allied with the defense line to hold back the Nuggets’ guard, and he succeeded in limiting Murray to 11 points.

While talking to TNT analyst Vince Carter, the 22-year-old opened up about the role he had to play in the fourth quarter. Edwards emphasized how he can contribute to a game beyond just scoring points. He said he took the challenge of defending Murray in the final quarter, which was a huge difference.

Despite Edwards guarding, Murray added a game-high 35 points, while the Nuggets’ leader, Nikola Jokic, contributed 34 points, 19 rebounds, and 7 assists. However, the franchise failed to show the collective teamwork that the T’Wolves displayed and flipped the script in the latter half with a 98-90 win. Sunday’s game was no one-off incident, as throughout the semifinal series, Anthony Edwards was a menace to the Denver side.
