By stating that Fisher shouldnt be suspended, lakers fans are thus admitting their team gets special treatment.
LOL, coming from a guy whose team trots out Pau Gasol every night... that's ing rich.

I'm usually hard on Scola because of his flopping tendencies. But you could tell right away that was a serious hit. Little Fisherman was trying to send some sort of message.
You are a stupid ing piece of . The world would seriously be better off without ignorant dip s like you.
This is a crock of !
Way to go Phil, nice piece of homer revisionist history.
The question the league will have to determine now is, was the ejection enough, or was Fisher's play so malicious that it warrants additional punishment in the form of a suspension? Phil Jackson was asked after Game 2 if he was concerned that his team might be without Fisher's services when the series resumes in Houston on Friday.
"Absolutely not," Jackson scoffed. "It's an inconsistent situation out there that the referees have to understand what it is. I agree, it was probably met with more force, but if there's a pick set and you run through it, it's a foul. If you run to it and hit the pick, then it's not a foul. [Fisher] ran through the pick; it's a foul. We had a foul to give. We told the guys we had a foul to give, and asking Fisher at the end of the game what happened, he said 'I thought the pick was closer to me and I was going to meet it. I meant to give a foul, but it was farther away and he stopped farther away than I thought he would.'
"He was surprised [at the ejection]," Jackson said. "We were too."
When it was his turn to meet the press, Derek Fisher echoed that sentiment, while trying to explain the play from his point of view.
"I knew that they were going to run a high screen and roll," Fisher began. "They had called 'fist-up' so I knew the high screen and roll was coming, and I knew we had a foul to give. So my intent was to run through the pick hard. For some reason, big guys have been allowed to move and set much closer and tighter picks on guards at the top of the floor that I've ever seen before. So my intent was just to run through him hard. But when I turned to take off and run, he wasn't as close to me as I thought he was. So by the time I ran into him, my arm was up higher than it normally would have been, had I turned -- normally, as close as guys are, when you turn, they're right there. So my arm would have been [lower], but as soon as I turned to go and he wasn't there as close, by the time I got to him my arm did come up more to his mid-section."
It was just a hard playoff foul, Houston Grow a Pair, LOL, he should get suspended he looked right at him before hitting him, he knew his purpose and that was to hurt him, but a suspension might be good for the Lakers, just like the Magic played without Dwight it lights a fire for the team, and his defense has been really bad, Shannon and Farmar are better agaisnt the Rockets
Hey, if my starting point guard was likely to get suspended for a pivotal game three, you bet i'd be painting a picasso like picture. That bow was Sick McNasty. I thought Fish was going to finish Scola off with the people's elbow.
i taught i was watching UFC out there
