Watch: Timberwolves Fans Direct ‘Draymond Sucks’ Chants at Warriors Star Before Game 1 Against Mavericks
However, Murray played and contributed to the Game 3 victory, even though Denver was eventually defeated in seven games.
Appearing on Shaquille O'Neal's podcast, the Golden State Warriors forward asserted that if he had thrown a heating pad onto the court, he would have been banned for the rest of the playoffs. Further expressing his annoyance, Green criticized the uneven norms for suspensions.
"I'm certain I would have been suspended for the remaining playoffs," stated Green.
"To me, it's ludicrous to merely get a $100,000 fine with no suspension for throwing a heat pack at an official. If I so much as disrespect an official verbally, they bury me!"
