If you could hand pick 5 players for an NBA finals team, you'd have to include Fisher

[Dirty Bay Player]

[Dirty Bay Player]

And the nail in the coffin from Fisher ... again.

[suckerforparlays]

Fisher is so underated with Kobe on the team lol

[HoulihansTX]

Yea I'll take Chris Paul.

[lakerboy]

Yea I'll take Chris Paul.

good point. Your hands will be light and ringless forever.

[HoulihansTX]

Who would you rather be.

Derek Fisher-- side kick

Chris Paul -- Superstar. Who's career is no where near over.

[HoulihansTX]

You are right though... Derek Fisher is much more talented than Chris Paul will ever be.

[lakerboy]

Carry on Houli. Fisher is one of the great clutch players of our time.

[bygspenda]

Fisher is definitely underrated. Lakers/Suns series was the first time I've really watched him closely. Always seems to hit crucial shots and boy can he draw the offensive fouls. Frustrating to watch if you're rooting for the opposition, as I was with Phoenix.

Great clutch players of our time? You can't call some a great clutch player when they NEVER have any expectations placed on them down the stretch. Fisher gets remembered for his big makes, but he has just as many big misses. They guy has a bad habit of taking poor shots down the stretch, but when he makes the occasional one he's a hero.

Anyways, good thing he was there to bail Kobe out tonight.

Yes master.

Paul Pierce was the man tonight.

[williams22]

Try to be more condescending next time. You are suggesting you would take Fisher over CP3, who sounds foolish?

I could care less about Chris Paul. He wont amount to nothing as far as being a winner goes. Obviously Fisher isnt the player he is. Dont try and put my boy down. He was superb in the fourth qtr tonight just like he has been many times in these playoffs and in the past. Didnt you tell us to get Kirk Hinrich cause Fisher was the worst player in the league for starters? Dfish isnt all about numbers, he is about heart and experience.

[HoulihansTX]

Derek Fisher puts Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Bob Cousy, Tony Parker all to Shame.

This team doenst make it out of the regular season without D. Fish.

Kobe Who???

Boston should trade Rajon for D. Fish. What a steal.

[HoulihansTX]

Lakers fans get all bent out of shape when you try to remind them that they wanted D. Fish on the bench during the regular season.

Though in all seriousness, D. Fish should get MVP of Game 3. He showed up while the rest of the Lakers faltered down the stretch. Lakers lose without his contributions in the 4th.

Yes, they should have gotten Hinrich. Having Hinrich would have meant they win game 2 because he can lock up Rondo and allow Kobe to guard Allen like he should have been. Instead, LA got stuck trying to hide Fish on defense. I love how you make blanket statements like CP3 "wont amount to nothing as fas as being a winner goes". The guy is in his mid-20s, I'm sure he'll have a chance.

I defended Dfish all year and even willy will attest to that. His experience is vital. Sure he has big flaws on d cause of his age and lack of speed but he makes up for it in other ways by attracting calls and being a great actor at times. I aint bent out of shape - i just laugh at people who want to say they would rather have Paul- well obviously Paul is better than Fish but he isnt playing tonight and Fish fits the Lakers team well. I doubt they could have Paul in that lineup as well and make it work. Great teams have parts that work together.

Lakers fans dont think anyone can match their greatness.

Just bow-down and slink away.

Doesnt matter tha CP3 doesnt play with anyone who is comparable to his own talent, and his coaches/GM all are horrible.

Hinrich doesn't fit the Lakers offense. Fisher has played in Phil's triangle forever and has proven that he has the ability to come up big in the big moments.

I make blanket statements all the time. I speak my mind. I say Paul wont win anything ever. Thats my opinion. We all have opinions. You know that.

Or you can keep betting against the lakers. Right?

Wise words right here.

Hinrich is a better spot-up shooter than Fish and is a lockdown defender. Also, getting Hinrich wouldn't have meant losing Fish, so one would have backed up the other.

[HoulihansTX]

"If you could hand pick 5 players for an NBA finals team, you'd have to include Fisher"

Your statement falls under the term hyperbole.

If you get to pick 5 players for a team, and your first choice to play PG is D. Fisher.. you know who you are??? D. Fisher

[HoulihansTX]

I'm 2-1 in the finals.

Lakers got me today.

Some people lose, cant have a perfect record like everyone else.

When did i ever bring up Hinrich's talent? I said Fisher fits the offense better.

[frostno98]

Fisher/Robert Horry. Same players. Very reliable to make big shots when it needed most in a big game.

[williams22]

Here's an opinion for you, Kobe's shot selection in the second half tonight was miserable and nearly cost LA the game. It was painful to watch them ignore Gasol possession after possession with my money riding on the Lakers. Thankfully Fish's surge at the end gave me a push.

[williams22]

Fisher's role in the offense is primarily to be a spot up shooter. The triangle works without the need for a true PG, that's why I think Hinrich would be a great addition.

Yeah good point Kobe didnt have his greatest game and Boston did a good job on him as well. HE did hit some key shots though when Boston was pushing ( 3pt to make it 75-67 and the couple of mid range jump shots). No doubt Fish was the man in the fourth though. You could have taken Boston though -4 right before tip of second half.
