Derek Fisher Appreciation Thread

[timvp]

It's difficult even starting this thread (:vomit:) but brosef is no doubt a winner. That was a championship sequence when he drained that coldblooded three and then somehow fouled Pietrus on that dunk attempt. Yeah, he has slowed down defensively but he's still damn good at that end of the court. He is great at digging down on bigmen, great double-teamer, can handle switches against size and no guard is able to bully him. Offensively, he's fearless even when he's ice, which keeps him dangerous no matter the situation.

F' him for .4, F' him for shooting 90% from the field in 2001, F' him for somehow finding the fountain of youth to prolong his career and F' him for the questionable tactics that landed him back in purple and gold ... but Fisher is a boss.










That sucked to admit. BRB, time to go hang myself from my junk in the closet like that kung fu guy.

u didnt have to admit it. lol

You beat me to it

[BUMP]

i honestly think he's on roids. Think about it, he was buried away in GS and Utah, and then all of a sudden he goes back to LA and finds the fountain of youth.

Not to mention his arms and head seem to have gotten bigger within the last few years. And the rage when he elbowed Scola

[KSeal]

I give mad props to Fish tonight, he was awesome, Kobe.... not so much.

:rollin:rollin also that sig is nice...she has a nice booty....damn....:hitit:

[DPG21920]

He has been better in the finals, but terrible in the playoffs as a whole. 38% from the field, 27% from 3, 2 reb, 2 ast, 1.2 TO. Not to mention getting toasted by every point guard, now including Alston who was crossing him up.

He makes a few heads up plays and hits a few timely shots, but he is by far the biggest weakness on a stacked team.

Didn't he start in Utah? I'm not sure.

Fisher is a pretty "okay" PG. It's not that much of a liability if you have Gasol/Kobe/Odom.

I never thought of that but you might be on to something. He looked dead in the water in '04 (no pun intended). Slow and way less athletic than he is now. Fisher claims it was yoga that got him back to near his top form but I've never seen yoga turn someone into a linebacker.

But yeah, whatever his secret is, Fisher is no doubt a championship player. Very good basketball player, especially when considering his physical limitations.

He didn't play that poorly in Utah. I thought he was actually pretty solid for them.

[DPG21920]

He has always been a solid player, but even with his new found energy his game has tailed off. But he is the type of player a coach can trust to be there mentally.

over Williams? :lol hell no

[Ghazi]

I think he played as a 2 guard though.

edit: looked it up, 61 starts in 06-07, his #'s were pretty bad tho (38% field, 31% arc)

[urunobili]

Fuck Fisher and his lovers too... :tu

yeah Ghazi u were right, i looked it up too he must've been a 2 guard.

[DPG21920]

I guess he is not a numbers guy anymore, but a veteran/high IQ guy who can still hit timely shots.

I am not sure if the few gutsy plays every now and then make up for everything he is giving up on the defensive end.

He is damn strong though and almost better when guys try and post him. That plays to his advantage.

[TJastal]

No doubt, Fisher is one of those guys you really hate to play against, kind of like Bruce Bowen was. Talented in many aspects but also has that knack for getting away with all sorts of grabs, slaps, holds, flops etc. The guy does what it takes to win, but the problem I have with him is he takes it way too far in my opinion. He lowers the bar too far in what is acceptable conduct, and degrades the game because of it.

His constant flopping is the most blatant of any player I have ever seen in the game and that includes Vlade Divac, who is still a distant second. You hear announcers and people talk about flopping (Jeff Van Gundy was one), that there should be stiffer penalties, fines, etc. Well this guy would have to forfeit his entire salary for the past 5 years if they did that.

Sorry to put a damper on the Fisher lovefest, but the day Fisher retires from the game it will be a positive thing for the NBA.

[TDMVPDPOY]

fisher the guy who asked a buyout from the jazz to only sign with the lakers...

[ginobili's bald spot]

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one Timvp. Fish has been good in the finals so far but the rest of the playoffs he was straight garbage. Actually he's been garbage since about March. And that's just talking about his shooting. His defense is always a liability, especially against a guard with any kind of speed. I also think his "high basketball IQ" is overrated. Spurfan saw it first hand with that Rodger Mason play that you guys loved so much. That was all Fisher. As far as his supposed rejuvenation since he got to the lakers goes, I don't think that's the case at all. I just think he is put in a better position to succeed here and not asked to do things that he can't do. If you expect him to be a true PG you are going to be very disappointed. All he can really do is shoot, and when his shot isn't falling he's basically useless. He is pretty fuckin clutch though, I'll give him credit for that. He's hit some big shots for us over the years as I'm sure you know :lol. He was clutch last night as well. Unlike Kobe :bang

[pauls931]

My issue with him is his hand checking defense. It's apparent now he no longer has the lateral movement to guard the quicker guards of the league and has to resort to hand checks and grabs.

However, his shot is still excellent and he's always that guy you forget about on defense who ends up getting the shot.

[Dex]

Derek Fisher is an asshole.

[tlongII]

Fisher sucks ass and is probably the biggest single reason why we will dethrone the Lakers next season.

[ShoogarBear]

DFish was always the perfect Popovich point guard. Too bad we never got to see that happen.

Yeah, just like Bill Walton's decrepit ass is the single biggest reason why the Blazers haven't won anything in 30 years.

[ShoogarBear]

F' him for .4, F' him for shooting 90% from the field in 2001, F' him for somehow finding the fountain of youth to prolong his career and F' him for the questionable tactics that landed him back in purple and gold ...

You forgot: F' him for not committing a foul even though he landed on somebody's back.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Fuck Fisher entirely. Hope he burns in hell.

[Muser]

Eh, he always has that look of arrogance when I see him. Just one of those guys you love to hate.

[benefactor]

Anything nice that I could possibly say about Derek Fisher will be taken to my coffin.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Derek Fisher and the Lakers should be a lesson taught to the Suns that the SG position is way more important than the PG position.

[Red Hawk #21]

Fuck Fisher entirely. Hope he burns in hell.

:lol I got a good laugh out of your sig

[Pistons < Spurs]

Bump.

[Kamnik]

Holy shit!

[baseline bum]

Man, that little motherfucker is clutch.

[resistanze]

Laker Fan will have to eat a plate of Fisher's shit when they win the championship, with all the bashing that's gone on this playoffs.

[Kamnik]

get the fuck out of here...

[Kamnik]

all net

[Udokafan05]

Not hard to get 3 off when kobe takes out defender with elbow.

[Spurminator]

AAAAAAAAAGH I hate this motherfucker...

[Capt Bringdown]

I knew there would be a Derek Fischer moment in this run. He does it everytime.
Just glad it wasn't against the Spurs.
Game, set and match!

[Kamnik]

seems like Fisher almost secured the title for LA...

[Kamnik]

fisher will go down in history like horry has....

[Dex]

Good shots.

Still an asshole. :lol

[it's me]

That idiot can go to the fucking hell rigth about now..........

[it's me]

fucking cheap shoot asshole... I hate that little fucker...... no as much as I hate Kobe... but very close....

[baseline bum]

Laker fan better start an Ariza appreciation thread too for his offensive boards that saved the game for them.

[Allanon]

Epic game for DFish...Laker players were telling him.... "You still got it Old Man" after the game

:lmao:lmao

[iggypop123]

im so glad he didn't take my advice and retired during the Houston series

[1Parker1]

You forgot: F' him for not committing a foul even though he landed on somebody's back.

:lmao Seriously.

Ughhhhh, I honestly hate the fact that it was Derek F-ing Fisher who ended up catapolting the Lakers to their 09 championship. I'd rather it have been Ariza, Odom, or anyone else making those 3 pointers. That's how much I loathe Fisher. :pctoss :pctoss

[florige]

Someone needs to post a picture of a toliet bowl with a picture of Fisher with his mouth open in this thread.

[tlongII]

I have to give him his props for tonight.


He still sucks though. He can't do jack shit against us.

Yeah until there are a few seconds left in the game is when that asshole usually strikes.

[Rogue]

Derek "big shot" Fisher is still a piece of garbage only except the big times.

[IronMexican]

I love Fish!!!!!!!!

[lefty]

I can't believe Fisher's 2 pass attempts to Kobe accidentally went in the rim

[timvp]

Nice thread, timvp.

It's a sad state of Laker Fandom when Spurs fans can spot the Lakers' true mettle while Laker Fan is fixated on thinking Shannon Brown should be starting.

I hate myself for starting this thread. Time to auto asphyxiate in a Thailand closet . . .

[IronMexican]

One thing I never did was diss Fish. I thought he was done, but I'd never diss him. He could knock up every girl in my family, and after today, I'd still love him.

[ShoogarBear]

F' typical frontrunning douchebag Laker Fan who has no clue what he's talking about when he bashes Fisher.

[Allanon]

Fish to his doubters:

:bking

[Allanon]

I do diss the Nuggets alot but not this time.

I meant Fisher can guard Billups...that's the kind of player he defends pretty well.

But when you got speed like Brooks, Fisher is constantly burned.

Fish should never be in the game versus Aaron Brooks but he's been great against all the other guys.

[Red Hawk #21]

Fish is clutch, I think he's the only Laker I don't hate.

[Spurologist]

mad props for your clutchness fish but i got two words for you: fuck you

[TheManFromAcme]

The amount of "Fish is finished", "Bench Fish", "Fish is done" and "Time to part ways with Fish" threads at LG.net were enough to make even seasoned Laker fans like myself laugh my a$$ off. Laugh at the fickled idiots in that forum. If you go there now, it's a complete 180 of what it was just 2 weeks ago.This is were I don't blame Spurs fan for taking shots at Laker fan base. We do at times come across as ass-clowns. The threads there now are at the likes of "Fish saved Kobe's A$$" or something along those lines. It's freakin hilarious.:lol

Awww Timvp means a lot! It wasn an awesome game to watch, and its been hard to watch him deteriorate in the playoffs. And as one of the biggest Fisher fans, i was so glad to see another performance like that out of him. And to be quite frank you can tell how much this guy is loved by his teammates. There is such a level of respect there, and that says a lot about a guy.

Here is to the lakers closing this series out! :toast

[xtremesteven33]

Id rather get beat by Kobe hit a game winning shot than Derek Fisher.

Id rather get beat by a hall of famer than a roid looking fish head

[timvp]

Laker Fan doesn't know it but it's going to be a gigantic loss when Fisher hits the end of the road. He's the perfect complement at PG for Kobe -- in every way.
