Derek Fisher Should be Suspended

[AMilitantAgnostic]

I remember this game - they were hitting the Lakers with cheap shot after cheap shot - and doing it with bench players.

Fishers message was clear. "Try and hurt us and we will fuck you up." That's how the game has always been played.

With that being said, Odam and Bynam should have played their last games as Lakers because of what they did in the loss to the Mav's. It's a shame that I think they will both be back - the team needs to regroup and the management needs to demand class over wins.

[vatsacycle]

didnt anybody hear "kick him in tha balls"

[clitobond]

Just like Laker fans. Applaud the cheap play. BLATANT cheap shot and they're defending it. And you wonder how OJ got off. It's because they had retards like the people in this comment section on the jury.

[DrQuiteno]

Imagine if scola did that dirty shit to fisher he would send his little ass across the floor!

[gl02020n]

@DrQuiteno nah, ur an idiot, scola is a soft pussy ass foreigner, fishers got an upper build that would fuck him up, dumb faggot. shut up unless u know shit

[hearthustle]

all of you saying fisher is tough are ignorant laker fans.

hes dirty, if your tough you confront the man face to face, not deliver a cheap shot.

scola is tough, cuz that lil pussy play didnt even phase him. he kept playin his game n helped the rockets pull of the upset.

he kept makin odom n bynum look like rooks.

lakers better look out for the rockets this year.

[ClemsonFan46]

Smart play from Fisher. Scola is a very average player that was playing out of his mind early in the series, and having his way in the post. Fisher lays him out, and Scola is a non-factor in the rest of the series.

[ARod016]

Just like a hockey hit. Shoulder to chest, fucking beauty. Atta boy fish!

[stallionplaya52]

Wow, a hit to the chest. Who gives a shit. Intentional or not intentional, he hit'em, oh well, get over it, aggressive play happens.

[SCGstag15]

Derek Fisher. What a wanker.

[rrmoviesfan]

fisher is a little bitch

[NOSNITCHROUNDHERE]

@rrmoviesfan...watch him drop your ass like he did scola...LOL

[thebig1]

I think Fisher being suspended for game 2 hurt Houston's chancves of winning game 2 because Farmar and Brown were able to contain Aaron Brooks to a point and win that game. Had Fisher been in I think Houston wins game 2 also. Either way Aaron Brooks is a star on the rise as are the Houston Rockets.

[ridore9]

not really...they had the lead liek a double digit lead and were in control of the game dik wat ur talkin about

[JLTRAIN233]

Fisher should get kicked in the balls

[Aft3rMiDn1Ght]

Lol I would like to see them try.

[mavswegner]

fuck u fisher u r heartless fucking PG

[DIRU382]

You know nothing about Derek Fisher.

[walkoff2]

If Rondo doesn't get suspended for his shit, Fisher shouldn't for his.

[DjLeniX]

ridiculous lakers always with there crap.. everybody knows it was on purpose.. so yeah first lakers got served by celtics remember that jeje

[DjLeniX]

lakers and get served please.. celtics served them haha and if they make it to the finals cavs will win

[jjdudz23]

ow.. i hope cavs can make it to the finals. hahaha

[858boss]

[ShadowFOX4u]

858boss, people who advocate unnecessary violence are destined to have all their teeth knocked out.

[858boss]

Hitler 1938. dont be a ignorant Shadow. Think first then speak

[Revelashun]

[SubZeroJoe]

[igetmymailss]

lol make that 6 now.. they got raped by rockets today

[jjdudz23]

yeah but they also got raped by the lakers last night... hahahaha

[Galatea20]

not anymore ;)

[jgposner]

I've never called anyone an idiot on-line before but there's always a first. Derek Fisher is an IDIOT. I used to respect him because of how much he cared about his daughter and that he seemed quiet. But now I think he's a fool. I used to be neutral but now I want the Rockets to win. BTW - That isn't tough, anyone can cold cock someone. The OTHER guy is the tough one. He got up like nothing happened. Did you see Derek's face? He almost cried over a tiny cut on his head.

[bruin03]

Wack. it was an accident.

[jgposner]

Yeah, right.

[RonnMShad]

It was on purpose Fisher saw him coming.

[kbdemonbain]

@jgposner you are so full of shit lol

D fish is one of the toughest guys in the nba, ya he knew what he was doing, he was sending a message to the rockets, and guess what, it worked they went in and won game 3, the series then 2 straight nba titles, so complain all you want scola got his ass knocked down and good for D fish

[gbec87]

Lakers all the way! Scola sold that like if he was selling a used car at a dealership. All this crap about Lakers being weak is f-ing dump. 65 wins, come on...if your weak how can you even win that many games. Media hyping this...Go Lakers!!!

[gabe1226]

this sux. but its funny cause the scola looks so much like vujajic.

[rjack44]

should be suspended!

[Ricesiaw]

Damn Scola your going to let someone who is 25 pounds lighter do that on you. You guys call the Lakers soft watch out.

[HipH0Pe]

Scola isn't soft....he's smart.

He knew the second it happened, Fisher would get ejected and/or suspended. If he retaliated, he would have definitely gotten suspended, causing the Rockets to have big problems onward.

[Ricesiaw]

Rockets big problem is Yao's minutes. I knew they would beat Lakers game 1 but later on because of tv scheduling and only 1 day rest Yao would have problems. My original prediction was game 5 for Lakers but now its 6 because this is getting exciting.

[monsterpaintball09]

dtex most be a boston fan. first rondo punches brad in the face.. the face. then throws kurk in to the table and throws a elbow. that is cheap that is low. derek did not go to the head he went right throw. ive played basketball for 9 years, i know what happens on the court, hell ive been thrown out for fighting. no suspension.

[DTex]

Young'n...I have good pairs of socks that are 9 years old....LOL. Ive watched way more brutal basketball than what Rondo was playing....so, keep your objections.

My view stands. What Fisher did was out of line on every level. Although, excessive (never denied it), Rondo did nothing an NBA playoff game hasn't seen before. Fisher did.

And, no...Im not a Celts fan. Normally, the "TEX" in my screen-name would signal a person with average intelligence. But,...*shrugs*..... I digress.

[damnyourestupid]

It doesn't matter what is or what has been. The rules have changed. Rondos foul was flagrant 1, no arguments. Kobes elbow was a flagrant 1. Fish' foul is easily a 2, same goes for Rondo throwing Hinrich out of bounds. Making a "dirty" play doesn't make you a dirty player, everyone is usually guilty at some point. Fish deserves the suspension, but so did Rondo, and had Rondo got suspended, the Bulls might have won.

[DTex]

I can't believe some of you are trying to put this in the same bag with what Rondo did in that Bulls series. This was WAY more out-of-line.

Come on, Laker fans. Be better than this. That play was dirty. The fact that he checked to measure Scola before hitting him...right after Scola JUST got into it with other Laker's players is more than a coincidence. That's called dirty. Way passed "aggressive playoff bball"

[EmperorsNewBand]

Rondo threw Hinrich to the scorers table then threw an elbow at his face.. right next to the ref. He didnt even get a fine or ejected from the game. Hilarious how biased the refs are.

[MexicanMetlAC]

I think in light of what happened in the Bulls-Celtics series, the refs are now going to be a little more tough on their calls. They don't want these games to get out of hand.

This was something that took me by surprise. I wouldn't expect this from Fisher. It would not surprise me if he does get suspended though. It just looks so bad but Scola wasn't hurt so it just looks worse then it was. As opposed to what Rondo did to Miller.

[jpacHiDef]

mm cus they didnt suspend rondo for clearly throwing kirk hinrich and slamming him into the scorer's table...

[lukey1934]

lol at slamming hinrich into the table.

that was a basketball play, he did throw him but it didnt deserve any suspension maybbbbeee a technical..fisher almost killer scola = suspension

[jpacHiDef]

yea...tell that to hinrich. AND brad miller. Fisher has no history of being THE BAD MEAN DIRTY GUY. rondo, in his short career, is already one of the dirtiest pgs in the game.

i think being thrown to a table is just as bad.

lol, maybe a technical. please put urself in hinrich's shoes.

[lukey1934]

rondo's hit on brad did not look entirely intentional, and the hinrich scrap was in the heat of battle.........Fisher looked like he cocked back and let it go on scola, thats intentional to the naked eye. Goodbye Fisher.

[jn4shizledizle]

"How can you view this and not suspend Fisher for sending Luis Scola to the deck tonight."

The same reason why the NBA didn't do the same to Rondo. Clearly he went for Miller's head so it sounds like you have the rule right, but no consistency on enforcement from the NBA.

[swe3t23]

charles barkley why don't you go ti sunset blvd and go pick up another hooker.

stfu sir charles

[RealShakaZulu]

Come on now... Barkley and Inside the NBA is easily the best and most entertaining sports show on the air. I will watch a game I am not even interested in if its on TNT.

[valhallalk]

how could you watch the nba without understanding it to begin with?

you don't get suspended unless there was malice in the action. trying to space a pick and time it to get around it quickly doesn't get you suspended. it's a smart play.

maybe scola and the rockets should cry less. the contact was all chest and scola holds his face like he got smashed.

[OhSnapImAsian]

if by timing it and getting around it quickly you mean fully turning around and elbowing the dude straight in the chest like this is the WWE, then yea i guess you're completely right

[RealShakaZulu]

Malice? How could you comment without knowing the NBA rules or at least taking the time to Google it before responding.

"A flagrant foul-penalty (2) is unnecessary and excessive contact committed by a player against an opponent. It is an unsportsmanlike act and the offender is ejected immediately.

The offender will be subject to a fine not exceeding $35,000 and/or suspension by the Commissioner."

Knowledge is Power...get some.
