It's time to change NBA postseason

AT&T Center in the middle of the third quarter Sunday night, you might have found the circle of power of U.S. basketball eating nachos and drinking beer.

Hey, you came here to read about the drama left in the NBA Finals, right?

Well, there was a guy leading a half-hearted "Go, Spurs, go!" cheer at the bar. And at a round table, vibrant Spurs fans were playing a drinking game in which they took a gulp every time guard Tony Parker made a basket. And there was a woman walking around wearing a dress she'd fashioned out of a couple of authentic San Antonio jerseys.

Also, on the court, down the tunnel, it was San Antonio 103, Cleveland 92.

That's Spurs 2-0 in the best-of-seven series. But if you're looking for the real action, you had to peer to the far corner of the Club Level, at the table where commissioner David Stern hung out.
