Aldridge's Daily Playoff Nugget, May 5

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 weekday dealing with anything in the playoffs.

TOP FIVE UNSTOPPABLE HALFCOURT PLAYS
Utah's screen and roll	Stockton and Malone have about a billion options off of it.
Lakers' triangle post	Shaq touches it every time and can get any shot he wants.
Utah's back screen for Karl Malone	Either Stockton or Hornacek sets the murderous pick, leaving the Mailman easy post-up pickings.
Indiana's double-screen	Frees up Reggie Miller on the wings; this season, Miller's doing the screening for Jalen Rose.
San Antonio's high-low	Works because of perimeter skills of Big Two: Robinson at the top of the key, finds Duncan at the rim. Or vice versa.
