I'm not mad at Fisher for asking out of his contract. I'm mad because now our team is suffering as he is helping our opponent. It sucks that a guy the Jazz did a favor for when we didn't really want to, is now helping our opponent try and beat us and is doing a good job of it making some really big 3's and coming up with some key steals.
We should've made him go to NY or at least the Clippers if he wanted out. It also kind of irks me because you know he wanted to be with the Lakers all along. I just hope he didn't use his child's illness as a way to get back to the Lakers.

yeah that really bugged me alot, espn kept mentioning fishers return to ESA receiving boos aswell
on my part, the ONLY reason i would boo fisher is because of the purple and gold. nothing more
i dont care if he lied to us or not, i hate the Lakers therefor i will never cheer one. Not even Malone.

Honestly, I truly miss Fisher being on the Jazz. His leadership and experience was what helped utah last year's playoff. But he's the ENEMY now and is in the way of Deron, Carlos and the jazz of going to the next round.
I was somewhat upset when he left utah and quickly signing with the Lakers a week later. It seemed way too... FISHY to me. lol lol lol

I do recall Fisher indicating when he was released that he was looking at places better suited for his daughter's treatment. The places mentioned were New York and Chicago. Then suddenly and quickly he signed with the Lakers--his former team. Suspicious? Absolutely. Would the Jazz have let him out if he wanted to go to LA? Why didn't he mention LA as a possible destination since it was apparently the front runner?
Anyhow--it is absolutely appropriate to cheer when Fisher picks up fouls, commits a turnover, etc. It does not make you evil if you boo Fisher. And just because someone boos Fisher doesn't mean they are heartless low-lifes who want hurt and suffering to come to his daughter.
I absolutely wish Tatum's recovery to go well. But I also hope we give Derek much more time to spend with his family this offseason.
