If you've seen the play multiple times from 2 or 3 angles and couldn't see whether there was a foul or not, it's probably best the referee who saw it from a single angle, a single time, in real-time, didn't blow his whistle.
It just pisses me off how he gets so much respect from the NBA (coaches,players,refs) and it shows when he gets away with so much during a game.
I don't have any problem with Fisher. He may be dirty but when you've (happily) got Bruce Bowen on your team there's no room to complain.
Plus he always seemed like a classy guy to me. Most of the haters here hate him because of .04 or because of the foul on Barry last year. Neither of those make him a jerk.
I'm not really sure what is to hate about them. They are actually quite small and most are very colorful.
It's threads like this that make me smile and know Fisher is doing exactly what he should be doing out there. If he's pissing you all off, that can only be a good thing.
Off the court Fisher is a stand up guy. There is a reason he is head of the Player's Association and universally respected amongst coaches and players.
WTF? other teams fans complain about bowen and manu all the time, and spurs fans cant complain about the flopping klutz derek fisher?
and LOL at calling fisher physical. since when is falling on top or in the path of other players playing physical, to me thats just a sign that fisher is almost done. when fisher was in utah he didnt get any of those calls, thats why he went to LA where he can get those calls and not get abused on defense every trip down.
I just can’t believe how smart & crafty D-Fish is…He seems to get better every year where as most players lose a step as they get older…And that Phil Jackson! He is smarter than Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise…Always finds a way to win! And let’s give some Major Props to David Stern & the NBA for giving NBA fans what they want…Lakers games on Prime time broadcast across the Nation…Even the Celtic fans at the game last night were besides themselves chanting MVP MVP MVP every time Kobe made a tough shot! What a great game…More exciting than the Super bowl & World Series combined!
MVP MVP MVP MVP
didn't he kinda screw over the Jazz?
I don't hate Fisher. He sucks. I like it when the Lakers have starters that suck.
I don't. Dude's good at what he does. Hard to find a PG that smart and able to run the triangle that well all the while not caring about how many shots he takes.
I didn't know someone who won 2 championships as a starter sucks.
The Jazz screwed themselves over.
It's called Kobe + Shaq.
Fisher is a solid point gaurd, but he is not a star. I doubt he could even last as a third or fourth option. He knows how to put the ball into the offense, he's a decent defender, and he's gotten more lucky breaks than any player that comes to mind save maybe Robert Horry.
But all of his little miracle moments came in losing years for the Lakers, so wgaf.
Nobody's calling him a star. We're calling him a pro's pro. A consummate winner. And just because he rode Shaq and Kobe to a ring doesn't make him any less of a pro or winner. And he doesn't need to last as a 3rd or 4th option, because that's not Fisher's role. I take it you didn't listen to Karl Malone talking about Fish on TNT last night?
Veterans know how the game is called. Fish is NO EXCEPTION. He knows that in that situation a ref is not gonna call a foul for handchecking in that situation. The only way he gets called for a foul there is if he hits Ray on the wrist or makes body contact on his J. FISH was just using his brain.
Barry traveled. Shut the up. Thanks.
Sure he flops whenever he gets a chance...I especially liked that picture of the double flop by both Fisher and Tony Parker flopping onto the sidelines with their legs in the air.
But the fact of the matter is he is nowhere close to being as dirty as some players. I don't even call that stuff dirty, it's crafty stuff. Stuff you can get away with when the refs aren't looking.
And sometimes he gets bad calls too. Like in that Boston game, he fouled Rondo with 3 seconds, but he was tripped by a Celtic player. Game would have been over then if the refs had called it.
Or how about that foul on Roger Mason that gave the Spurs a 3 point play to win the first Lakers game. Mason backed into Fisher. That was a no-call in my book.
Fish gets a bunch of stupid calls called on him too and he does get away with some...just like every NBA player.
Fisher is just a system/role player. He plays best in the triangle or coming off the bench with the Jazz.
yah he wished that his daughter had an eye problem so he can screw the jazz.
i hate fisher too. he's a wannabe defender that plays too hard for nothing. lol and fouls on EVERY play, and then when a call is against him, he cries about it.
okay i would agree about the foul on barry, but calling him a jerk and hating on him for fouling barry, how is it his fault that the refs didnt call that a foul?
or was fisher suppose to call it himself?
There was a foul on Barry, but he didn't shoot it right away when he got fouled. Instead he held the ball and didn't sell the contact effectively. Fisher played awful defense as usual and stopped Barry from moving, but if Barry would have thrown up a shot, he would have had 3 FTs.
I don't hate him for the Barry foul, I only hate him for how he used his daughter's illness..
if it wasn't for that, I'd love to have him on my team..
