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: Empty The Bench. Is DeAndre Jordan the Los Angeles Clippers' center of the future, Marty?
PF: Sports Media Watch. Cavaliers games on FS Ohio are averaging a 7.7 rating through mid-January!
SF: The No-Look Pass. I had a Sega growing up — "Pat Riley Basketball" was absolutely horrible.
SG: Waiting For Next Year. Vintage photos of Bill Cowher and friends getting ready to ball, circa 1981.
PG: Hoops Head North. Statistical analysis of The Bearded Bargnani vs. The Beardless Bargnani.
6th: Ben's Suns Blog. Is Steve Nash the best player in Suns history? What about Chuck? K.J.?
7th: Rocky Mountain News, via BB.com. A great NBA prank spearheaded by Divac and Devean George.
8th: Pete Marasmitch. The iPhone: so multifunctional. Here are the top ten uses Roko Ukic finds for it.
9th: Indy Cornrows. How in the world was Pacers coach Coach O'Brien not tossed for this?
10th: Basketball Fiend. "Can you imagine Ice Cube and Joey Porter trading taunts while a high-out-of-his-mind Snoop tries to guard D. Sproles and Timberlake and [Matt] Cassel sit on the sidelines picking hotties out of the crowd? [...] Rappers vs. football players. The best celebrity All-Star game of all-time. Let’s make it happen."

"Other teams with big declines include the Mavericks (1.2, down 34%), Suns (3.4, down 28%), Bobcats (0.5, down 21%) and Nuggets (2.2, down 19%)"
Hell of a link Skeets!
Now the bearded vs. non-bearded Bargnani thing should be fairly obvious here. The playoff beard in hockey and football certainly do bring good fortune to those of us who decide to man-up and give it a go (it appears my playoff mustache has helped Arizona so far this year), so to see statistics to back up our ol' folklore is a beautiful thing.
