Stream of Consciousness, Part I

Under Pressure is a great song, but not when you hear it twelve times in one night. Every commercial break … I enjoyed listening to Hubie Brown throughout the Association playoffs. Normally I want to mute the announcers but it turns out they aren’t that bad when they choose to make insightful comments … I also enjoyed watching the Spurs. Any player could learn a lot from Duncan’s post moves, Ginobli’s finesse (that left-handed drive, crossover/hesitation, explosion to the hoop, and dunk was exceptional), and the little things the supporting cast executes … For a while I thought the Spurs were going to blow it. I was dismayed by their defense against Detroit’s high rub in Game 6 (too passive) and concerned by Duncan’s scoreless streak in Game 7 (especially the missed dunk in the 3rd) but they pulled it together … The Spurs used a cute Stack End-Out to free a shooter from the 4/5 position in a low shot-clock situation.
