Vujacic’s Limited Minutes In The Third Quarter Of Game 3 Nearly Cost The Lakers

June 12, 2008

In game 3 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday Sasha Vujacic had a stellar first half. I believe he scored 10 points. In the third quarter I expected him to be the first guy off the bench but Trevor Ariza was and I was shocked. Ariza is a good player but he is not as good a shooter as Vujacic. Around that same time the Celtics took the lead and I was like what the hell is Phil Jackson doing.

He finally put Vujacic in with about 2 minutes to go in the 3rd and Vujacic went on to score another 10 points in the second half. I said before game three that Vujacic should play more minutes and I was right. When he plays he produces.
