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: The Cauldron. Jimmy Butler is not having an MVP season, and that’s just fine. What he is turning in is an approximation of a Dwayne Wade-like season, out of nowhere, after years of acting as a Bruce Bowen-type. This is why Chicago is so fascinating, and so frightening.
PF: Blog a Bull. With Butler’s status nearly assured, as the NBA nearly hits its midpoint, should he be Chicago’s go-to guy late in games? The Bulls have two others in place, which is a nice luxury to have.
SF: The Classical. Zach Randolph is coming back soon. Get ready.
SG: New York Times. Why you should let someone’s facial expressions help you judge a player’s worth.
PG: RealGM. Why the above statement is stupid.
6th: Los Angeles Times. Out of nowhere, Carlos Boozer is turning into a super mensch.
7th: Mavs Moneyball. Rajon Rondo has turned the Mavericks’ defense into a something formidable. The team’s offense? Not so much.
8th: BBallBreakdown.com. In Sports Illustrated’s 1999-00 NBA preview issue, they highlighted the disparity in talent between the Western and Eastern Conference. Things haven’t changed much since then.
9th: Sporting News. On Danny Ainge’s slow and steady rebuild.
10th: Sports Illustrated. Rob Mahoney with a look at the specific approach Cleveland will have to take in LeBron James’ absence.
