Aldridge's Daily Playoff Nugget, April 27
By David Aldridge
Special to ESPN.com

David Aldridge was named NBA reporter for ESPN in Feb. 1996, and since then he has been an integral part of the network's coverage of the league.

Aldridge writes a weekly column for ESPN.com, chats every Wednesday and here for the playoffs he unearths his daily playoff nugget -- a list of things that are on his mind. Look for a new nugget every day dealing with anything in the playoffs.

TOP FIVE HOME-COURT ADVANTAGES
Philadelphia. Real basketball fans in a real basketball city.

Utah Mormons and non-Mormons alike know how to make big noise.
New York When things are going well, no crowd is better, but can turn on the home white in a second.
Sacramento Faithful to the end, rarely boo no matter how bad it's going.
Indiana Potential problem: this year, no Jordan to rile the hate up against.
