You know if you were watching the game the fans really enjoyed seeing Fisher get his second foul. You think if Fisher was just another Laker to the fans they would have enjoyed seeing him get that second foul in the first quarter that much. I would understand if that was Kobe not Fisher.

Fisher has killed us this series with 3 pointers and steals. I would love to have kobe get the two quick fouls but Fisher would be second in my book.

^ I was also hard on him when he was on the jazz!Calling him captain F up and stuff,but the point is he is a great roll model and leader!The jazz are a good team to let him walk like that and thats the end of it!He's a Laker now and he will be bood!

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.

Is anyone else tired of seeing them go nuts over Fish and the thing last year? Yeah, it was amazing, and now it's over. Get over it PLEASE, it is so old.

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.

To me, before the game it was like ESPN was preparing the audience for the boo's, in order to make the fans look bad. Could this be in response to the whole Ric Bucher issue?

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

Fisher left for his real team, see he was always a Laker even though if went to the jazz for one year. So why should we boo him? Just because he's wearing the enemies jersey we shouldn't boo him for that one year?We are so classless :noway:

what a joke :o

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. :nod:
