NO!

It's just a matchup issue. Brooks has blazing quickness. Fish can't guard him without a legit shotblocker in the lane. Farmar can guard Brooks because Brooks is fast as hell but not physical at all. Farmar looked really good starting but against Denver, Fisher is clearly a better matchup against Billups and Anthony Carter (two very physical and much slower PGs).

Against Cleveland, I still like Fisher over Farmar.

I think it's only this series that fisher is having problems with.. and who knows maybe other series as well. But for now in this series.. farmar and shannon seem to be the better player to start this series. It doesn't mean taking out fisher from the starting lineup completely... Everybody can see fisher being man-handled by brooks (well except the coaches lol). That is what make a great coach right? knowing who can matchup well with who??

I was right, FIsher has lost a step and Brown is just an undersized 2.

Farmar should be the starter.

Bynum
Gasol
Ariza
Kobe
Farmar

or even start Odom

Bynum
Gasol
Odom
Kobe
Farmar

Why not start your best player at each position?

I think farmar is going to turn the corner finally. Farmar is a real good player but the thing i thing is hurting him is that i think he is a little to hard headed. Through high school and college he always been the leader of the team......now he is in the NBA, he's coming off the bench, and players & coaches are constantly yelling at him. Plus he has problems with authority.
