Can you say...FLOP?

Home: Boston Celtics (Celtics Blog)

Away: Los Angeles Lakers (Silver Screen and Roll)

Lakers Lead Series: 2-1

Time: 6:00PM PST

TV: ABC

Who likes Derek Fisher anyway? Not Warriors fans for sure. Don't believe me? Let's dig back into the archives a bit...

Imagine if that LAST one happened.

Anyway, I digress. Hooray for Derek Fisher for lighting it up in the 4th Quarter of Game 3 and leading the Lakers to the victory. Yay. (Note the sarcasm)

As for Boston, I'm sure they're just asking for Jesus to provide some help in tonight's game. Well, Jesus Shuttlesworth that is.

He..had game?

Look, I'm not saying you gotta expect this guy to make a record high 8 three-pointers in every Finals game he plays, but shooting 0-13, for the best pure shooter in the league i just horrendous. Awful. Terrible. Disgusting.

However, Ray Ray's bound to bounce back this game. And it needs to happen. Or else things are going to get reeeaaallll rough...

Since I'm routing for the Celtics, let me break it down for you.

Celtics Keys to the Game

That is all.

Yahoo Sports is claiming the Lakers need to find support from Lamar Odom, but his motivation needs to come from someone other than his wife. Sorry sorry, I just watched that stupid Kardashian show and needed to toss in a jab there...

GO CELTICS!

Somewhere out there Mullin is saying I was justified in offering DFish 6 years 38 mil!

I like Derek Fisher. And I am a Warriors fan.

When we first got him in 2004, I didn’t like it at all. “I was like, yuck a Laker on the Warriors…whatevers.” But then I grew to appreciate him because I knew he had a championship ring so he knows what it takes to win, would bring good veteran experience to the roster, had a great attitude, and is a clutch shooter. Also, once a player rocks that Dubz jersey, Imma support him to help our team win regardless if I hate the sucka or not. (until that player gets shipped out to another team which is bound to happen more quicker than you can snap your fingers.)

One of the many exciting Warrior games I went to watch live was March 25,2005. Warriors vs. the Bucks when derek fisher hit that 3 pointer FTW 118-117 in overtime. Fisher didn’t play at all in OT until the final possession, caught the rock from a dime by JRich, and shot the three that hit before the overtime buzzer. I thank D-fish for that great game to witness.

Honestly, say what you want, criticize and hate him all day, but in a clutch situation, I’d rather have D-Fish shoot the rock over Lebron James any day. He has a way better reliable shot.

ROMESdavidWOOD37 has taken over the Ongline. He's cool.

To stop the hyperbole,

Lebron James taking the last shot over Fisher is probably smarter.

Kobe sucks

Yeah...

…three from the short corner, fine, but lest we forget: Derek Fisher is a below average shooter for his career. When you’re in the finals every other season or so, you’re going to hit big shots. Let’s not let those wash away the general mediocrity that is his individual basketball talent, huh?

D-Fish baby

The crafty vet adds another great playoff performance to his already well-written playoff track record.

"I tell him straight, 'If you're going to lead, you have to be the first to practice. You have to come in, get your work down and be prepared for practice,' " assistant coach Keith Smart said. "He needs to figure out why he is having stomach problems and he's got to watch how LeBron (James), Kobe (Bryant) and D-Wade (Dwyane Wade) work. He needs to mimic that if he wants his teammates to speak volumes about him." -Keith Smart on Motna Ellis
