The 10-man rotation, starring the Wizards, Cavs 'rivalry'

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: Akron Beacon Journal, via SLAM. "Remember when LeBron James(notes) said there was no rivalry between the Wizards and the Cavaliers? DeShawn Stevenson(notes) was asked about that comment Monday afternoon, on the eve of the rivalry's first 2009-2010 incarnation. ‘He's the Golden Child, he's gonna say that,' Stevenson said. ‘He has a lot of stuff to lose. I don't. I don't care.'"
PF: Cavalier Attitude. Why no contract extension for Rudy Gay(notes) should be news for the Cavaliers.
SF: The Baseline. Like Shoals, I, too, am fervently pro-NBA League Pass.
SG: Tremendous Upside Potential. Twenty thoughts on a Bulls fans first trip to Madison Square Garden.
PG: Hoops Addict. If you're a fan of Magic, Bird or '80s basketball, you need to listen to this.
6th: ESPN Chicago. Derrick Rose(notes) wants to be a movie star.
7th: Mavs Moneyball. Three games into the season, and Jason Kidd(notes) still hasn't attempted a free throw.
8th: CelticsHub. Why Rondo's extension puts the Celtics in a tricky spot for next year.
9th: 48 Minutes Of Hell. The Spurs are one of the most forward-thinking outfits in American sports.
10th: Off The Dribble. After playing zero minutes in the first two games, Larry Hughes(notes) is alive!

    I thought Shaq was the answer? i thought Jamario Moon was the answer? I thought Anthony Parker was the answer? what a joke. first Capt Jack was headed to Cleveland and now a rumor of Rudy Gay. What a joke the media is about the Cavs.

    I couldn't believe that there wasn't a flagrant foul called on Shaq when he squashed DeShawn Stevenson coming into the paint. It looked liked Shaq fouled him with his left hand, then palmed Stevenson's head and threw him down with his right. Nobody acted liked like it was flagrant, just a hard foul. Oh well, it sucks to be DeShawn Stevenson, nobody cares about that loser.
