Derek Fisher

[Black Jesus]

Derek Fisher, plan and simple is a dirty player. Fisher is a small guy in height, but not in stature, he is about 220 lbs. His height allows him to get away with murder on the court. Aside from examples in the past, like when he blew up Luis Scola. Take a look at this series, during our pick and roll especially.

Amare or Lopez will set the screen, and the way Fisher runs through screens is to run into the setter's knees. Blatantly trying to contort a knee in a way it shouldn't go.

If that weren't enough, he reaches in grabbing on Nash while he is going around the screen, sometimes even judo chopping him.

And I don't believe for 2 seconds that his head placement was not intentional for Nash's broken nose. There was 16 seconds left in a game that was over. He was being overzealous and he masked his dirtiness effectively.

Lets gut Kobe and the Fish

 

[elindholm]

He's a nasty, self-serving hypocrite.

 

[Renz]

Waaahhhh!!! How is he a "hypocrite"? If he was on the Suns he would be "tough".

Funny how BJ cries about Fisher's "dirty play" after advocating retaliation against Kobe for Nash's nose. That's hypocrisy.

 

[elindholm]

Waaahhhh!!! How is he a "hypocrite"?

He's a hypocrite for leveraging his daughter's eye condition into a better professional situation for himself. I've discussed this ad nauseum before and I already know that Laker fans are blind to it, so forget it.

 

[Black Jesus]

Yeah, if the Lakers are going to play dirty. You have to match it, which we never did in the past with the Spurs or other teams.

I am not saying play dirty outright, I am just saying an eye for an eye, or a broken nose of Steve Nash for an undercut of Kobe Bryant. Thats all Renz

Which looks even worse after the Jazz had to face the Lakers after essentially trading Fisher to the Lakers for free.

 

[jibikao]

The only time I like Fisher is when he made that 0.4s shot against Spurs... I hate Spurs more than Lakers.

this is ridiculous. The dude went from a city without the best medicine in the world and a team in the WCF with a very bright future to a city with the best medical care in the world and a team who has just gotten the unholy crap beat out of them in the first round two years running with their superstar demanding a trade and throwing the entire team/FO under the bus.

How exactly was that leveraging ANYTHING? He went to a better city for his daughter and a worse basketball team.

sorry, but calling him a hypocrite just doesn't hold a lot of water here.

 

[Cheesebeef]

that being said, I do think Fisher's a dirty player who gets away with murder on the court.

 

[Dback Jon]

Kobe's nose needs to be broken. End of story.

 

[Black Jesus]

I really like Kobe, but would love to see something go down this afternoon.

 

[mojorizen7]

I don't like Derek Fisher. This is exactly the type of chump i'd have scrapped with on the court (back in my day ) just because he's a dick.

And for less money.

 

[Cheesewater]

And for less money.

Yeah because the National Cancer Institute or the American Cancer Society or Retinoblastoma International couldn't have used that $8 million for research or anything.

If anyone is sitting within 10 rows of the court tonight can you do me a favor and throw a beer at Ron Artest? He hasnt blown up in too long.

If anyone is sitting within 10 rows of the court tonight can you do me a favor and drink that beer for me before you toss a soda at Ron Artest. I haven't beered up in too long. You'd be surprised at the medications you're not supposed to combine with alcohol.

So do I. Thats why Im cooking little smokies in BBQ Famous Daves Devils Spit BBQ, Brats with grilled onions and baked beans. Im in it for the long haul tonight!

LOL. It has been awhile. I wanted to bring in Artest 3 years ago.
I love what G.Hill has accomplished here but i'd still take an apparently rehabilitated Ron Artest over Hill 8 days a week.

Yum.

I don't know that we had the right personalities here to keep him in check. It would take a strong coach and at least one strong player that he respected and I don't think we had that. It might have been a greater debacle than Rodman in San Antonio.

You forgot to tell us what time to show up?

Anytime you want buddy!! Only problem is I live in Queen Creek.

Maybe, but i wanted to change those things as well .
Also, who in Sacramento fits that description? How about Houston?

Having said that, the '07 suspension team would have greatly benefitted from the presence of an Artest. Thats my point.
