Turiaf: I'm The Chad Johnson Of Basketball For all the comparisons to Mark Madsen, with a little more rhythm, Lakers forward Ronny Turiaf has a different player in mind when it comes to his manic act on the bench. "I think I'm like the Chad Johnson of basketball," Turiaf said. While Johnson has made his end-zone celebrations a weekly event with the Cincinnati Bengals, Turiaf has provided the Lakers with an unmatched energy a month after he joined the team and completed his return from open heart surgery. -- Los Angeles Daily News McKie's Absence Affects Rotation Call it the Aaron McKie effect. Through no real fault of his own, other than a severely strained quadriceps tendon, the 12th-year guard has missed 44 games and set off a chain reaction in his one season with the Lakers. His absence since the first week of December has meant more minutes for Kobe Bryant, a weaker exterior defense and a less experienced backcourt, particularly in late-game situations. It has also forced the Lakers to look for additional backcourt help even though the trade deadline passed last Thursday. -- Los Angeles Times
