lakers vs spurs

Go Spurs!

God, I hate Derek Fisher so much. Just seeing him with that stupid headband and dopey look on his face irritates the hell out of me.

If he weren't playing for the Lakers, I'd be more ambivalent about the outcome of this series.
 
It depends. If the Lakers as a team play their A game, the Spurs don't really have much of a chance even if they play their A game. If the Lakers play their B game, Spurs could definitely win the series if they play their A game. Basically, if you were to assume that the Spurs and Lakers play their best, IMO the Lakers would come out on top every time. As was quite evident in Round 1 against the Twolves, the Lakers are somewhat inconsistent, and IMO they probably won't be able to play four straight A games against the Spurs, which is why I'm predicting they'll lose at least one game, if not two or three (or four if the Spurs play well enough and the Lakers play only average).

To be specific, Fisher and George must play well, like they did in Round 1 (thank god Fox is injured!). Horry must also play decently (don't be surprised if he makes important shots 😉). So if Fisher, George and Horry play well and Kobe and Shaq play their usual ball, I can't see Parker, Duncan, Robinson, Rose, Ginobili, Jackson or anyone else being able to stop them. Horry is really going to have to step up his D on Duncan, though I think Horry did just fine against KG in Round 1. Today's Game 6 was a bit of a preview as to how the Lakers will handle Duncan in the post; that is, a Laker is going to have to effectively double Duncan with Horry like they did with KG today (though nobody can really stop KG).

Prediction: Lakers win series 4-1.

I've never heard of someone having such strong negative feelings about Fisher!

fox is out and fisher is stepping up. they are functioning like a well-organized team these past 2 games. if they play like these past 2 games, no team in the nba has a chance in hell to stop the lakers from a 4peat.
 
There is nothing wrong with Fisher.
On a side note about him, any think he looks like a lego man?
He's just ripped and all square looking. 😛

Seriously, Fisher has got to be the buffest point guard in the league.

And at 5'8", he packs a wallop for such a midget. 😉

heh, this reminds me of the nick names my and my friend give some of the players. we call horry "will smith" cos when will had his hair like that (ala fresh prince), and george "tracy morgan" and nostrils. so, when we call up each other and report, yeah, "will smith" hit a game winning 3 and they beat the kings. fisher, iunno, derek fisher, nothing more, nothing less.
 
all i want is to be able to use my finals ticket i bought for the lakers game 6. GO LAKERS!!

I don't know. He's just one of those guys I guess. I've never seen him do or say anything that would give me any reason to hate him. I just get irritated everytime I see him. 🙂

Surely there are people that just rub you the wrong way.
 
Dont' care, kings all the way! I'll watch ot see the lakers cheerleader (mark madson) look all goofy!
 
Derek Fischer is the only player on the Lakers I don't mind....I hate all the rest of them...
Actually I like Kareem Rush...but I hate every other Laker...

After saying that...they're still going to win🙁
 
Spoooon, if it makes you feel any better to hate Derek Fisher, I know a guy who ran into him at Miyagi's in L.A. one night. He's not very friendly and his over-rated a$$ was acting cocky the whole night.
