The downside of the NBA lockout has been well-documented over the past four months or so - and the situation is unquestionably bleak. But one perk of the break in NBA action has been the steady stream of classic games being televised to fill the void.
Tonight's schedule features the Orlando Magic, with a young, trimmer Shaquille O'Neal, facing the Indiana Pacers, led by Reggie Miller, in Game 4 of the 1995 Eastern Conference Finals. The Magic would go on to win the series and reach the NBA Finals, where they were swept by Hakeem Olajuwon's Houston Rockets.
Tomorrow, NBATV takes viewers back to 1990 to see Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in action, as well as Game 7 of the 1994 NBA Finals (Rockets-New York Knicks).
It hurts not to have the 2011/12 NBA season to salivate over - but the classic games at least provide a slight boost.
