1. While everyone else is busy previewing the 2009-10 season to death, The Baseline previews something different: the 2010 OFFSEASON. I was skeptical about the idea, but Shoals pulls it off beautifully. Warning: don’t read this if you’re a fan of the Raptors, Pistons or Warriors. It doesn’t bode well for you.

2. For better or worse, Carmelo Anthony has his own Tag body spray. What does it smell like? Weed and tattoo ink, I think. I’m kidding, Melo. I’m kidding. It actually smells like LaLa Vasquez’s anger.

3. Contrary to what I said yesterday, Andrew Bynum is the undisputed starting center for the Lakers this season. Source: Twitter report from Mike Trudell, quoting Phil Jackson.

4. Don’t expect any endorsements from Hasheem Thabeet for NBA 2K10. The popular video game gave Thabeet a rating of only 57. An unnecessary snub or a glimpse into Thabeet’s future? I’m going with the latter.

5. Darren Collison has no business singing anything, but I like the confidence he brings to this Beyonce impression. Any time you incorporate crowd participation it’s bound to be a good moment in rookie hazing.
