Amare - "We Might Not Have Taken Them as Seriously...

[Minstrel]

I think they're called "officials' timeouts," and they exist throughout the season, not just the playoffs. The teams are charged with the timeout, but they're called by the refs at certain points in each quarter if there have been no stoppages in play.

For the purposes of getting commercials in, for the network. So they are "TV timeouts," but they aren't specific to the playoffs.
