The 10-man rotation, starring the return of Nenad Krstic

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: Dave D, Star-Ledger. Looks like the Nets will pass on matching OKC's bid for Nenad Krstic's services.
PF: Globe and Mail. Kris Humphries thinks he could have been a pro swimmer if he had stuck with it.
SF: The Knicks Blog. Whattyathink: When the Knicks are good, is New York City a hoops town?
SG: 3 Shades Of Blue. Holy crap! They sold Darko's 'Hulk' jersey for almost a grand.
PG: Hooped Up. Speaking of jerseys, anyone care to buy a $114,000 Jordan throwback?
6th: Dallas Morning News. In the new year, Dick Vitale and Dan Shulman will call a Heat-Nuggets game.
7th: Blazers's Edge. Highlights from last night's epic Suns-Blazers shootout.
8th: Deadspin. Is Michael Jordan getting married again? And if so, will Oak be his best man?
9th: The Sporting Blog. "D. Wade is different than I am, a different personality." Kobe talks, we listen.
10th: Basketbawful. "They've started to call Corey Maggette 'Bad Porn' at various Warriors boards. Their justification? 'Sure, there's penetration and scoring, but are you really happy with what you're seeing?'"

    Wow, just what New Jersey needs. Another PF/C who is completely one-sided. Brook Lopez aside, it's all soft perimiter-skilled guys, and then defensive guys like Boone and Williams who apparently don't realize the ability to shoot the ball from some range aside from point blank is a worthwhile skill.
    Also, Humphries probably could've been a better swimmer than a basketball player (big surprise, I know): http://www.usaswimming.org/USASWeb/_Rainbow/Documents/b6b4a34a-094d-4ea6-adb8-0761695ff019/USA%20SWIMMING%20NATIONAL%20A.G.%20RECORDS.L.C.%200907doc.pdf
    Oh, that Maggette nickname is perfect. Funny because it's completely true.

    good Blazer highlights from one of the best games I've ever seen at the Garden. If you're looking for Suns highlights, just watch Inside the NBA or SportsCenter. Judging by their recaps, the Suns must have won this game. I guess that will always be the case with a smaller-market team like Portland.

    Be happy that you don't have the slew of OKC players on your fantasy team that i do would almost flush that whole team down the drain if i could.. cept Durant and maybe Jeff Green who has 1 good game a month

    No they are gonna tank this season worse then last season.... if i lived in OKC i would sell my season tickets and donate the money to the university of OK or Oklahoma state atleast they can make a game close.
    but look on the bright side they have like 20 first round picks they might be able to trade the whole team for Chris Bosh or something haha
    can you tell that i'm from Seattle? i give OKC 5 years tops before you only see about 15 people in the stands at every home game .... kinda like the Hawks

    How about which number will be higher:
    A.Boston's # of losses
    B.OKC's # of wins
    Both numbers are probably going to be around 10-12. Tough choice.

    Actually, the origin of Corey Maggette's nickname "bad porn" traces back to the shower and locker room scenes from 1999 when he played with John Amaechi in the Orlando Magic.

    Actually The Thunder will be the team to beat within the next 3-4 seasons.
    They have 3 superstars in the making that are all super young and getting better every night.
    They will end up with the most balls in the lottery next draft and with the way their luck has been running will probably end up with the #1 pick. Local hero Blake Griffen.
    This team has the best ownership, and the best young GM in the league.
