The 10-man rotation, starring Bad Boy Bill


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:Need4Sheed. Did former Bay Boy Bill Laimbeer just land himself an NBA head coaching gig?
PF:Hail Mary Jane. Twelve NBA franchises that "deserve" a championship more than the Lakers.
SF:SportsByBrooks. A boots-on-the-ground postgame riot report from Lakerland.
SG:The Baseline. Larry Brown reminds us that NBA draft promises generally don't make sense.
PG:Don Chavez. A night out with Joakim Noah(notes) apparently involves cute girls, funny specs and a camera.
6th:Bullets Forever. "This year's championship shirts have nothing on the 1978 version." True, true.
7th:NBC Chicago. The legendary screwing over of Johnny Kerr's consecutive games streak is weird.
8th:SRI. Lamar Odom(notes) talks about winning his first title, the celebration and his impending free agency.
9th:DB.com. Three million reasons why the Suns will prefer to deal Shaq to Dallas instead of Cleveland.
10th:OC Reg. Mark Whicker: "For all the talk about how unfocused the Lakers were, here are the margins of victory in their four close-out playoff games: 11 over Utah, 19 over Houston, 27 over Denver, 11 over Orlando." Not bad.
