SASHA

Derek Fisher, 2 points.

Lamar Odom, 4 points.

Vladimir Radmanovic, 3 points.

Pau Gasol, 4 points.

Laker reserve Sasha Vujacic has 17 points, or four more points than the four L.A. starters not named Kobe. And I've got to think that, on this night at least, he is Bryant's favorite teammate. Vujacic is the only other Laker besides Kobe--30 points--who seems to be savoring the moment. Living to compete. In short, he's a gamer.

Sasha opened the fourth quarter by burying a three, and he and Kobe have willed Los Angeles deep into this game. Boston led 66-62 a few minutes ago but now L.A. is up by five, 75-70.

****************

NBA "There Can Only Be One" ads I wanna see:

1) The one featuring a split screen of the two faces of Laker Girl Whitney, who only last year was a Boston Celtics cheerleader.

2) The one featuring a split screen of Tim Donaghy and David Stern.

To point this out is to admit I'd clicked through on the link, but I must: Your link to "Whitney" was just another link to "Jessica E."

C'mon, no Laura Lane anecdotes?
