Given the insanity of a television contract that dictates a midweek NBA playoff game begin at 8:15 p.m., 9:15 Salt Lake City time and 11:15 on the right coast, there's a good chance many folks in the Wasatch Mountain basin and points east will watch the final airing of the John Stockton-Karl Malone show on videotape.

For sentimental reasons, they'll hold on to the 18th, and most likely, final postseason appearance of the best tandem in NBA history.
