Ronny Turiaf

[FromWayDowntown]

I hadn't realized until tonight that Ronny Turiaf had begun playing for the Lakers. That's such wonderful news, given the health problems he had back in the summertime.

[JMarkJohns]

He had some great defensive plays and really brought a lot of energy. He's the other Laker (After UA's Luke Walton) that's I'll pull for.

[FromWayDowntown]

I guess I'm suprised that there hasn't been more made of his return -- or that I've somehow missed whatever was made of his return. Tonight was his 6th game back, after open-heart surgery. That's truly remarkable if you aske me.

I'm with you JMark -- while I don't necessarily cheer for Luke Walton, I will certainly root for Ronny Turiaf.

[JMarkJohns]

If Walton didn't go to UA, I wouldn't care.

[SA Gunslinger]

He was a monster at Gonzaga.

I like Turiaf. I like Smush Parker as well.

[Horry For 3!]

He got his first nba basket in last night's game. He got it on a 3 point play too. Made the shot and got fouled.

[FromWayDowntown]

See, even here it's basically a non-story.

That's too bad; IMO Turiaf's story is a great one.

[Medvedenko]

Yes a great story and he's the mose enthusiastic guy on the team...always pumped up after each score...it's a pleasure to watch someone actually give a shit. Hopefully his hustle and grit translate into a few victories.
