ORLANDO -- Magic coach Stan Van Gundy butted heads with the NBA office Saturday, accepting the $35,000 fine that was levied against him earlier, but questioning its rationale and the interpretation of its own rules that prohibit criticism of officials.

Commissioner David Stern is not going to be happy.

The NBA originally fined both Van Gundy and the team for general remarks about replacement officials he made Thursday after practice. In those remarks, he praised the regular officials who have been locked out, and praised some of the replacements, but said others weren't ready for the task facing them with the regular season opening later this month.
