If Phil hasn't realized this so far..he won't change anything. Get use to D-Fish playing crucial minutes in a game even when he isn't producing.
Mark my words. If he gets 28mpg for the rest of the series the Lakers will lose.
The only way the Lakers win is if Phil finally realizes that the Farmar/Brown backcourt is what is going to win games for him.

I can't think of another team left in the playoffs that has to overcome their own coach the way the Lakers do.
Derek Fisher will ALWAYS start and ALWAYS get more minutes even when he is 1-9
Just for the record... its YOU that create all these fluky ass threads...
nuggets overcome karl
the only way they do is because chauncy is actually influencing karl alot
Very true about Karl. He doesn't even really have set plays on offense. Before Chauncey, he'd basically just say improvise on offense. That one Chauncey article written a few weeks ago had a perfect example where in one of Chauncey's first games with the Nuggets they had a one point lead and the ball out of bounds with a few seconds left and Karl just told the players to wing it. Chauncey called a timeout and had to urge Karl to draw up an out of bounds play.
Also, the Magic do have the "Master of Panic." SVG completely loses his mind in the fourth quarter of close games.
This will never happen with PJ and the Lakers.
You get outscored 15 to 0 and PJ will look bored on the bench.
you do somerething he thinks is bad, never mind you get a three point play out of it, he will call a timeout just to let you know it.
If the Spurs were facing the Lakers, Derek Fisher would be shooting about 99.4% from the field. He'd have made all his shots but the basketball gods would lower it to 99.4% just for the irony.
^LOL^
Relax...that Fisher died last year somewhere in the second round.
You will never see that fish again.
Or he would suck throughout the entire game, but make that trey that wins the game with 3 seconds to go.
humm I wonder if chauncy wanted karl gone he would be fired this offseason...
-LOL @ the Karl story....terrible.
-SVG didn't panic last night.
Fixed.Or he would suck throughout the entire game, but make that trey that wins the game with .4 seconds to go.
look at it this way. fisher cant get worse than tonight. he hit rock bottom early
That's what Laker Fan told me in 2000.
it happens to us too. tonight kleiza. a couple years ago troy hudson.
If this series does hinge on Derek Fisher, your team is in BIG trouble.
LOL, this supposed "Master of Panic" has held it together enough to eliminate the defending champions AND steal game 1 on the previously undefeated in the playoffs Cavs' home floor...
Hence why it hinges on him.
As someone who has watched him all season he simply isn't playing at the level he was last year. Everything in him has diminished and it has come to the point where he is legitimately hurting the team every minute he is out there on the floor.
We'd be much better served with Farmar/Brown taking up all the minutes. The sad thing is Phil Jackson would rather lose than do that.
lakers shouldn't have traded radmanovic, their only capable 3pt shooter other than fisher. now that fisher is going through one of his cold streaks, lakers have no one else to turn to for 3s.
Farmar may have no futue in L.A., but that Brown kid is a keeper. Wasn't he a throw in?
I said the same thing earlier in the season, but Laker fans thought I was crazy.
Radman would cough it all back up with his lousy D and TO's. I'll take Ariza over him any day of the week.
If the rest of the team gives up on "D", does it matter? The team needs scoring when Kobe's on the bench and better spacing when he's on the floor which RadVlad would provide.
