Collins on the officiating in the playoffs compared to the regular season: "I think all eyes are on the officials. At the beginning of the playoffs, we wondered how they were going to call these games - were they going to be different, were they not going to call the hand-checks. That has not been the case. We've seen a lot of high scoring games and a lot of free throw shots. The games are being played at the same tempo as the regular season. The question is - as the playoffs go on, will this continue?"
TNT's NBA Insider David Aldridge reported that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has complained to the league several times during this series about what he perceives to be illegal screens from Houston center Yao Ming.

Poor little Mark Cuban. Every year relegated to 6th place.
"Earlier today, I ordered America's Armed Forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq ... Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical, and biological programs, and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors."
