Architect of 'Jordan Rules' predicts nostalgic Eastern finals
Chuck Daly is out of the NBA but he's certainly not out of touch with the play and the playmakers. As Lesley Visser discovers, the author of the 'Jordan Rules' still has his opinions.

Dwight Howard seemed to pull a disappearing act tonight!  He scored 8 points tonight and I believe only 2 in the second half.  Was it the tenacious defense, a lack of intensity from Superman, or a bit of both?
