Game 7 of the Rockets' Finals over the Knicks is online. Pretty much the whole thing. (If you find Game 5, by the way, let me know. A whole bunch of people were over at my apartment to watch that one, but it was preempted -- like every other channel, it seemed -- for the O.J. Simpson slow speed car chase.)

This was the last NBA game to feature legal hand-checking by perimeter defenders. You can tell the difference.

But the main thing that struck me was the Rockets' passing. Wow. Rudy Tomjanovich's team moved the ball beautifully, and Hakeem Olajuwon was no small part of that. It's an absolute pleasure to watch. That is all.
