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: Gothic Ginobili. Tony Parker hasn't looked very much like himself this season. What gives, and is this a "give it a minute, it'll be fine" kind of thing, or a "maybe TP's on the decline" kind of thing? Aaron McGuire investigates.
PF: Nylon Calculus. An exhaustive, statistical-context-heavy and very good review of Kevin Garnett's career as he nears its end.
SF: NBA.com/Stats. How much are this year's Atlanta Hawks like last year's San Antonio Spurs?
SG: FOX Sports. How much are this year's Golden State Warriors like the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls? (For more on the West-leading Dubs, check out this cool feature from Ken Berger at CBSSports.com).
PG: ESPN.com. Interesting stuff from Tom Haberstroh on the decline of home-court advantage in the NBA over the past couple of seasons.
6th: Mavs Outsider Report. Bobby Karalla offers a really good overview of the myriad small issues that have ailed the Dallas Mavericks of late, leading Rick Carlisle's club to drop four straight to sink to seventh in the West.
7th: Bucksketball. Jeremy Schmidt considers the development of Brandon Knight, who didn't make the Eastern Conference All-Star team, but who has come far enough for some fans to think that he might just be the long-term solution at the point for the Milwaukee Bucks.
8th: DraftExpress. A SportVU-based look at how Duke phenom center Jahlil Okafor's work on the block and in the paint on both ends compares to that of some of his NBA counterparts.
9th: Wall Street Journal. Chris Herring with a fun investigation of the "knuckleball-like unpredictability" of New York Knicks center Cole Aldrich's hook shot.
10th: Sole Collector. NBA players discuss why they would or would not wear another player's signature sneakers.
