The 10-man rotation, starring 'Blake Superior'

By J.E. Skeets

A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.

C: Clips Nation. How's everyone feel about Blake Griffin's(notes) new proposed nickname?
PF: Waiting For Next Year. LeBron James'(notes) pink shoes support the fight against breast cancer.
SF: Nets Are Scorching. Questioning the New York Daily News' "Countdown to LeBron" graphic.
SG: Deep Purple. "Baby, we were born to run" and four other song lyrics to preview the Suns' season.
PG: OCReg. Jackson said he forsees Adam Morrison(notes) playing a bigger role with the Lakers this season.
6th: Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Cavs' exhibition game vs. Olympiakos may take a back seat to a lawsuit.
7th: NetsDaily. Comment of the day: "IF YOU WANT MARBURY ON THE NETS. THROW UP THEM 3's!"
8th: Posting and Toasting. Knicks rookie Toney Douglas(notes) do what Toney Douglas do.
9th: Celtics Hub. Does the GM survey show Rondo's defense might be overrated?
10th: Behind The Blazers Beat. How in the heck does Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan figure out how to use his talented and deep roster?

    Kevin Durant is so freaking lanky. Every time I see him, he's always seated in a strange manner due to the fact that he's all legs. He's already proposed the nickname Durantula, but you shouldn't name yourself and I feel that this is a natural progression. His nickname should be Daddy Longlegs.

    Let's wait and see what Blake Griffin does before he gets a nickname.

    a. i know lake superior, and let me say, blake griffin has a hell of a lot of work to do to earn that nickname.
    b. any role for adam morrison is a bigger role than last year.
    c. love my blazers roster. bayless is an odd man out who probably deserves some time, blake's minutes drop, webster, nic, outlaw may have to get used to 20 per game. what a roster.

    that GM survey should show Rondo is overrated. not just his defense, but his entire game is overrated

    #7: It's a cool name, for sure. Love Lake Superior. Just hope Blake can live up to it! (And, in turn, help that awful team.)

    272 days until New York & New Jersey & the rest of the NBA are disappointed that Lebron didn't leave Cleveland.
