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 BENCHES
Portland.	Brian Grant, Greg Anthony, Jermaine O'Neal, Detlef Schrempf could start for 10-12 teams.
Sacramento	Bench Mob needs a healthy Jon Barry, though.
Phoenix	Rodney Rogers does it by himself.
Philadelphia	Toni Kukoc is a game-changer; Aaron McKie's an underrated gem at both ends.
Toronto	Dell Curry, Dee Brown can still fill it up if left uncovered.
