"Hey Ron?" "Sup?" "Pow, right in the kisser."

Woke up this morning, Blackberry (ugh) light flashing. Checked the ESPN Research packet (read snippets online here) and immediately, a trend pops up: Wednesday was a night of superstars. Check it: Kobe? 40 points in evening the series. Johan Santana? Masterful through 7 IP (10 K) in helping beat the Phils 1-0. Jussi Jokinen? Game-winner, 'Canes up 2-1 in the series. Rajon Rondo? Third triple-double of these playoffs, tying Larry Bird for a Cs record. Wednesday: the night those people that make sickening amounts of money to entertain and inspire you did just that. Love it when a plan comes together.
