Ball Don't Lie - NBA

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: Motown String Music. Does Dumars have something up his sleeve involving Prince and Maxiell?
PF: SLAM Online. Are the new NBA rims contributing to higher scoring games this season?
SF: CH. "No one is allowed to mention 72-10 unless the C's are, say, 40-5 or better after 45 games."
SG: Dime. "I don't see the Celtics losing a game anytime soon."
PG: Complex, via ShareBro Trey. Five (balding) NBA players who need to cut their hair.
6th: Hornets247. Video and commentary of Paul and Okafor running the pick and roll this season.
7th: First Cuts. Look out! Grizzlies rookie center Hasheem Thabeet(notes) has joined forces with Li Ning.
8th: TP. Kawakami on why Anthony Randolph(notes) is struggling to get consistent Warriors minutes.
9th: NBA YouTube. Rajon Rondo(notes) shoots over the backboard from the baseline.
10th: Empty The Bench. Brian Spencer: "The Magic may still consider themselves a hunter since they fell short of their ultimate goal last year, but they need to realize that they're now actually the hunted in the East. They have a target on their chest, and on most nights they're going to get their opponents' best effort."

    @ #8. That being said, Sam Cassell should have been Michael Jordan, or at least Scottie Pippen!

Gimme Tamron Hall from msnbc and make Greta Van Sustern...arguably the ugliest woman on earth....watch the whole thing.

    Ugliest player in the NBA? Has nobody ever taken a look at Joakim Noah? I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to look at that mug.
