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 : Clipperblog . Michael Shagrin takes a look at several different offensive wrinkles, including inbounds plays and clever little screens, that Doc Rivers' Boston Celtics teams used and that could help loosen the at-times stagnant Los Angeles Clippers offense this season. (And here, in the interest of balance, is where we remind you that Doc's Celtics teams finished in the top half of the league in points scored per possession just once in the last four seasons and were among the NBA's 10 least efficient scoring teams in each of the last two years.) PF : ESPN New York . A really cool story from Jared Zwerling about New York Knicks guard J.R. Smith's years-long friendship with a Cherry Hill, N.J., fan with Down syndrome. It's a very different sort of off-court story than we typically read about J.R., and it's great. SF : Sactown Royalty .
