Video: Derek Fisher Checks Luis Scola with Elbow, Should be Suspended

The way Laker fans were acting following Fisher’s stinker in Game 1, they might actually be happy if Derek Fisher were to be suspended for Game 3 against the Rockets. Luis Scola seemed to be in the middle of every tussle in the second half of Game 2 Wednesday night against the Lakers, getting [...]

Hoops Addict Article - Lakers/Rockets Game 2

Game 2 Review here. As usual, Trev does a phenomenal job with it. Derek Fisher…who knew? (Umm, everyone who has watched the playoffs the last decade. Oh, ok. Well, them. But who else?)

Gone Fisher-ing

I have a question. When, exactly, did the Lakers' Derek Fisher lose his fastball? I mean, it happens to every athlete. But Fisher's performance in the first round of the playoffs against Utah and in the first two games of the Western Conference semifinals has been shocking because of its ineffectiveness. Against Utah, Fisher couldn't hit an outside shot and couldn...

Ron Artest is Prepared for Anything... Even A Table Leg To The Heart

So as I’m up late studying last night, I was passively listening to Inside the NBA.  I have found that the NBA is a great thing to have on in the background because I can tune it out due to its general lack of excitement, and still be able to pay attention for the five [...]

Credits 5/8/09

Game 3 is set for tonight in Houston and the Lakers will be without Derek Fisher (warranted).  Kobe was not suspended because his elbow landed in Ron Artest's "chest."  Instead, he was assessed a Flagrant 1 (still bogus). How much will Fish...

Lakers Regain Home Court With Win in Houston

The Lakers regained home court advantage with a 108-94 win against the Houston Rockets, but it was anyone’s gain in the hotly-contested first half. Playing without starting point guard, Derek Fisher, the Lakers used the transition speed supplied by Jordan Farmar to match up with the Rockets, who for the most part kept the Lakers out [...]

Lakers vs. Rockets Get Physical: Derek Fisher KOs Scola

This was no Eddie House/Rafer Alston altercation. This was war. These two plays define the series: Derek Fisher KOs Scola: Scola popped Derek Fisher in the head and drew some blood. Fisher decided to be the anti-Eddie House and retaliate. I must say if you are going to retaliate don't be a punk about it. I guarantee you that Scola respects Derek Fisher now. This is ridiculous...

NBA reviewing actions of Kobe, Fisher, Artest and Alston

Stu Jackson is a busy man today. He’s responsible for reviewing the tape and doling out the suspensions and fines, if necessary. Apparently, he’s looking at four different plays from last night’s action: Rafer Alston’s slap to the back of Eddie House’s head, Derek Fisher’s premeditated shoulder block on Luis Scola, Kobe Bryant’s flying elbow to the neck/chest of...

Lakers-Rockets Game 3 Live-Game Blog

For questions and/or comments during the game, Twitter @jhoff895:48 pm PST - 57 min. until tipoffStill no word on who Phil Jackson will replace Derek Fisher with tonight -- my guess is Jordan Farmar (as opposed to Shannon Brown) because Brown is playing at a much higher level than Farmar right now. You're probably thinking, "That's why you should start Brown," but...

Lakers Drop Game 1 to Rockets Amid Jackson's Terrible Coaching

Phil Jackson is one of the all-time – if not the all-time – greatest coaches in NBA history. He has three sets of championships and a Coach of the Year award to his name. The Zen Master leads the Association in career playoff victories and playoff winning percentage and, in 2007, PJ was inducted into the Hall of Fame. In Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals between the...

Rockets vs. Lakers

In a surprising turn of events, I've actually watched both games of the Rockets-Lakers series in their entirety and I'm totally into it. It's a competitive series with interesting matchups and strategical elements. Plus, I'm really starting to take a shine to Houston and despise LA.Although the Rockets lost by double digits in Game 2, their fans will have to be...
