The 10-man rotation, starring an apologetic Rafer Alston

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: OS. Alston apologizes to team and fans, but says he'd probably do it again under the circumstances.
PF: this is the city line. I wish Devine dreamt he was "Big Baby" Glen Davis(notes) every night of the week.
SF: Sports Radio Interviews. Stan Van Gundy on his critics, Skip's suspension, and even Manny Ramirez.
SG: Garbage Time All-Stars. Only the 'Old One' could teach Derek Fisher(notes) the secrets of the masters.
PG: The Puns. The complete history of Marcin Gortat(notes). (Alternative title: "The Legend of the Warlock.")
6th: Indy Cornrows. Danny Granger(notes) is all set to train with USA Basketball this summer.
7th: SI.com. Is Kobe Bryant(notes) a dirty player? "Yes, yes he is," says Steve Aschburner.
8th: Bullets Forever. "There's some things you don't do in life. You don't eat at a place called 'Mom's,' you don’t play poker with a guy named 'Doc,' and you don’t play cards with Michael Jordan." Sound advice.
9th: Talking Points. Kawakami's second annual NBA No-Defense team, starring Kevin Martin(notes) and Durant.
10th: Dallas Morning News, via Game On. 'The Birdman' to kids: No tats until you're 18.

    NO. Laker fans don't fear NONE of these teams. I don't even know why you bring up Laker Celt matchup cuz I just have this funny feeling that IF the Celts get lucky to move to the next round.... Well, have you seen the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton?? That was supposed to be a fight for the ages.. just picture Pacman wearing LeBron's Jersey. Give Hatton a fro and he'd look like Scalabrine.

    Your mom is a dirty player.
    Nobody was talking about your mom and yet why would i bring it up?
    That's the exact same question you should be asking yourself about Kobe.

    None of these players have a history of being dirty,playoffs bring out more intensity and with nationwide media coverage people will always throw accusations....Now Lambeer,he was dirty......Kermit Washington...filthy..

    Lakers will not win the O'Brien trophy because they DO NOT PLAY TEAM DEFENSE!!!
    Rockets, Celtics, and Cavs play defense NOT the marshmallow Lakers frontline
