Welcome to the tenth edition of The Base Line Cut, otherwise known as the BLC. It's a bit like a BLT, but without the tomato. Here we'll be taking a look at what is popping around the NBA, with a particular focus on the quality sites across the Bloguin Network. It's almost time for the playoffs. March Madness is over. Get ready for April Awesomeness.

- You're not Robinson Crusoe if you've noticed that the Los Angeles Lakers have been off-form lately. It's not uncommon for a team that has been dominant for a number of years to lose the passion when it comes to the dog days of the regular season. So perhaps the slump that the Lakers have been experiencing is not newsworthy. However, are they going to leave their run too late? Don at With Malice questions whether the Lakers care and wonders when that signature win will come?
- George Hill has played remarkably well for the San Antonio Spurs this season, taking advantage of his opportunities whilst Tony Parker has been out of action. Then Hill goes down during the Spurs' big win over the Lakers, putting things in limbo as the playoffs approach. But fear not, Parker is back. The Spurs take on the Sacramento Kings tonight in what should be a feisty, but relatively low-weight opponent in the lead-up to money time.
- The NBA has made a big deal about its Green Week initiative, highlighting the need for sustainability and care for the environment -- and rightly so. Of course, as with any NBA initiative, it brought a whole slew of uniform changes and merchandise opportunities. It also meant that a lot of clashing combinations were happening in the style department. Not lost on Sarah Moon in all of this mis-mash of headbands and lapel pins was the environmental cost of the week's activities. At A Stern Warning she asks whether Green Week was more style or substance?

- People in Cleveland weren't really feeling the way ESPN chose to launch their New York site -- with a LeBron to the Knicks mock-up, of course.
