It depends on Ariza's jumpshot gets even better, Vlad and Luke gets dealt, and if we find another Ariza type player to take our Ariza's place on the bench.

vlad will probably have to regress into epic awfulness for 2 months straight and Ariza will have to play like he's possessed for that time too, and win the hearts and souls of people everywhere

and then he might start

I just went on hoopshype and saw luke's salary thinking it was three more years, never been so depressed.

Forget Marbury. Right now this team needs leadership. Both Kobe and Fish are setting up poor examples of how to run an offense or how to rotate on defense.

yeah ....Fisher is the main reason why our defense is not working, dude!

He and Radman just get overwhelmed by faster PG/SF. that's why defense seems to work only on halfcourt with starters, and Kobe gets too many shots that leaves another SG for the fastbreak to cover on those misses. Also the bench rotation does better with players sharing the ball and Ariza making big covers. Pau and Bynum are doing ok on static defense, but opposing guards are catching us up on the fastbreaks with the starting 5

We need a top defensive PG specialist, a fast one that can stop or limit Chris Paul, D. Williams or even last night Miller. Fisher is just not the best option for us. Farmar does good on his spark from the bench role.
