And he'll be guarding Oberto?

Fisher has shot really, really bad the last 3 games (5-26 19%) - this wasn't as noticeable in the previous 2 games because Farmar & Vujacic shot so well in those games - nothing new - Fisher tends to go through "hot & cold" streaks in about 10 game cycles and has throughout his career (a career 40.1% shooter) - he should limit his attempts to 7-8 per game at the most unless he is hot on a particular night.
And he'll be guarding Oberto?

Nah we won't go undefeated, too many good teams left to play. But we will finish out the season better than our rivals considering we've already played the toughest part of our schedule. For teams like PHX and SAS they haven't even seen the worst of it yet.
I'm hopeful we can finish with a top #1-3 seed and have HCA. The most important thing is that we are 100% healthy coming into the playoffs. We need all our weapons to survive the WC.
We are finally healthy again with James Jones and B-Roy back last night. People don't realize that our recent bad stretch was due in large part to injuries to Jones and Roy. We will make a push now and hopefully we'll have a shot at the #8 seed. It was nice to have the Lakers visit so we could refocus our game.
LOL your team and fans certainly acted like that was game of the century. I heard you guys had a parade today to celebrate, any truth to that?
Yeah I know, I was being facetious! Portland played well and the lakers came up short. The team was compe ive even though they did not have their best game and it was a back to back. No big deal. We'll take it out on Dallas tomorrow!
I kind of want Phil to go ahead and incorporate Gasol at the 4 now in anticipation of Bynums return. Start Rony at center for now and it wont be so hard for the Team to adjust to Bynum. Top seed is of no importance other than hc advantage. History has shown that it is not necessary to win a le.
But the Spurs are 10-1 since the Lakers acquired him. He's AWESOME. Or should I say, he's PAUSOME!
We LOVE playing the Lakers! We almost always beat you guys here in Portland.
I have to say I was impressed with Portland. Kobe had his swagger on and they matched it. Good team and they will definitely be a team to contend with in the future. Outlaw is awesome! I like his game.
Pau Gasol is a better defender than Oberto
where did you get that expression findog? do you have family here in french canadian county? It's a very rare expression only used up here I think.
You've never heard Americans use en masse before? You need to hang around with better company.
I can say I learned something new today. I've never heard americans use it before.
Is this a common used expression some place?
Learned about the term in Music Appreciation.
Pau Gasol couldn't guard Yao, even after the surgry.
Oberto did a great job guarding Yao over the past few meetings. He gave Yao what, 8 inches?
You make D&C look like Socrates.
Pau is a pretty bad defender at the C position. It's a good thing this is only temporary until Drew gets back. Most teams do not have dominant players at the C and PF position. SAS, for example, only has Tim Duncan. Oberto and Kurt Thomas are pretty much non factors on offense so we won't be hurt negatively on the defensive end with Gasol guarding either one of them.
On the offensive end, that all we need in the paint. Oh and then there is Tony and Manu attacking the rim. So you better home Pau can defend some(but we all know he cant)
You better hope you have other players stepping up outside of the big 3, otherwise you will not have enough offensive production to beat us.
