After the Lakers took a 3-1 lead in the series, Dunleavy had a lot to say:

"There were three times in yesterday's game where he commits fouls that they don't call," Coach Dunleavy said. "... He's not Wilt Chamberlain yet. He can foul out of the game between now and when he retires." 

"There's been times we've tried to foul him on purpose but they aren't called and he winds up dunking the ball because we've got to foul him harder," Coach Dunleavy said. "Then there are other times when you can't pick a rhyme or reason. You're just bodying up and the whistle blows."

"It's interesting to me when I have a conversation on the sideline with one of the referees and I'm saying `OK, Brian Grant's past the hash mark. Shaquille is in the lane with both feet. That is illegal. Why won't you call it?' And I get no response," Dunleavy said. "That to me is just unbelievable."
