As reported by Joe Freeman, Nate McMillan was fined 25,000 dollars for his comments yesterday regarding the officiating in this series.
Refresh this post around game time to read any comments Nate makes pregame in response to the fine. I imagine he will be tight-lipped.

Nate just told reporters, "I should have just taken my mother's advice, 'shut your mouth and do your job.' I thought of [those words] immediately [when I found out I was fined.]"
Kerry Eggers of the Portland Tribune then asked, "But you were trying to make a point, right?" Nate smiled and said simply "Ker-ryyyyyy" as if he was going through puberty. Everyone laughed.
