Start Fisher

[LikeABosh]

Maybe he can, but he doesn't. If I remember correctly outside of game 2 and the first half of game 6 Parker struggled in the WCF. Now some of that was Sefolosha, but he wasn't on him the whole time. Westbrook defended him as well and did a solid job. Wade only has like an inch on him. Westbrook is more than capable of guarding Wade.

I believe westbrook guarded parker for the 1st 2 games and thabo guarded him for the rest. Spurs were really wearing him out with all the screens they were setting.

I think Westbrook is capable of guarding Wade too, but the energy spent guarding wade might take away from his energy on the offensive end

[Roscoe Sheed]

Cook should actually be playing in place of Fisher

[Ettorefm]

Sefolosha has gaven them nothing

.

[StateOfThunder]

Fisher over Perkins in the starting lineup, not Thabo.

[World Peace]

Ok bench Porkins then who is truly nothing.

Fisher - Chalmers
Westbrook - Wade
Sefolosha - James
Durant - Haslem
Ibaka - Bosh

Cook should actually be playing in place of Fisher

Bingo. Cook is a versatile defensive player, stretches the floor, and can even rebound a little bit.

Ibaka-Durant-Sefolosha-Cook-Westbrook

OKC can switch screens off the ball all they want and muck about with rotations far better than with Derek Fisher in the game, who can really only capably defend Mario Chalmers.

Cook is being underused, considering all the small ball being played.

[Authority]

The Thunder would be doing better if they didn't play Fisher at all. Sometimes when he's in it's like he watched Westbrook chuck a ton of shots and thought, "Hey wow I should try that I can chuck at least as good as he can". At least Cook knows his role.

OKC needs Eric Maynor back.

[FireRicBucher]

Clown thread, bro.

Oklahoma City should seriously consider starting Derek Fisher at point guard and moving Russell to the 2 guard spot. Sefolosha has gaven them nothing so while Derek has been very solid in his limited minutes. The man obviously has started on multiple championship teams and played a key role. Miami actually has to guard Fisher unlike Sefolosha.

So what you are saying is that you want OKC to lose?

As a Lakers fan you should know more than anybody that Fisher is a big time player especially in the NBA Finals.

a couple of years back yes but not now. he's someone i'll put in the final minutes. def not starter anymore

[Woodsanity]

Fisher has averaged a measly 3 assists his entire career.

[DrewBynum77]

are you saying Fisher would improve the thunder by utilizing his PGs skills? Or are you saying that Fisher would give the thunder 20+ points on a higher efficiency than westbrook?

Fisher is a dreadful PG. If anything Westbrook is 10 times the pure PG than fisher ever was...

Cook should actually be playing in place of Fisher

Best answer.

Play Durant mostly if not fully at PF (2-big lineups are hurting OKC bad)
Play Fisher only when Westbrook's out (so limited minutes)
Play Harden/Sefolosha/Cook for most if not all the minutes at SG/SF. Harden playing the most, then Sefolosha, with Cook for 20 min or so (though starting with Harden of the bench).

someone hitting them bath salts hard....

[dlts20]

since when didn Fisher become a PG? He was only a PG because of the triangle. He's just another SG himself excpet he's not good enough to be allowed to shoot as much as Westbrook
