I’m not quite sure why Phil Jackson keeps insisting on playing Derek Fisher and benching Andrew Bynum. I missed the first half of the 3rd quarter last night, so maybe I missed some heinous error by Bynum.

From the very beginning of the year, I have said two things:

Getty ImagesYes, the Celtics are out fishing right now. But they could soon be joined by the Lakers... and they'd have a hand in making that happen. That's because the Nuggets are trying to use the blueprint the Celtics created for beating the Lakers. “Boston was so much more physical than they were,” Billups said. “They
didn’t give up a lot of layups and...

Yes, yes, Andrew Bynum's defense in these NBA playoffs has been lethargic at best. But will no one else stand in defense of Andrew Bynum?From the moment the NBA playoffs started, everyone has put the young Laker center under the microscope and proclaimed him mentally and physically unprepared.He's not playing defense.

The Lakers have got a tough choice to make on their point guard rotation. Recently, their rotation of points guards has been Derek Fisher, followed by Shannon Brown and Jordan Farmar. All of them are solid players and they make their own contributions to the Lakers. Air-ball jumpers, that's a bad contribution.To fish or not to fish, that's what I'm struggling with.Derek...
