So, how is Derek 'leadership' Fisher doin'?

[Mamba Venom]

Bynum has not been quiet - so Lakers still lost something.

[Edrees]

Lakers fans don't hate fisher as a player, we just think in 2012 this year he's a terrible basketbal player. We aren't blind to the truth just because we love the guy. I'm a big fan of what he did for us and would always cheer for him when he comes to staples in an OKC uniform.

Fisher threads never fail in making me laugh

[Part-time Lover]

He's in the finals bro

[Josephpaul]

He's played decent but can't tell if the champ swag is working. He should get his numbered retired. So clutch at some many times

[springz]

here's the total +/- for OKC players after 2 games:

durant +6
rwb +3
harden +15
ibaka -18
perk -18
thabo +11
collison +21
fish +19

intangibles homies.

I think Derek's been playing his role fine. OKC is better off having him on the roster than not, pretty obviously.

[LaLa]

When you have Westbrook as your starting PG, having Fisher is fine for the 15-20 minutes he plays.

[LAKESHOW]

Hey...he's the one who got the steal at the end of game 2. Its not his fault the stars couldn't finish...

[Knicks80_20]

At this point in his career, old man Fisher has exactly two moves in his offensive arsenal.

1)Immediately defer to Durant, Harden, Westbrook
2)Shoot open 3's

Because of his extremely limited offensive talents, Fish does #1 (get the ball in the hands of OKC's deadly scoring and playmaking threats) far more than he does #2 and, even better, he likes it that way. That simple fact is the reason why Fisher is more valuable to this team than a middle-tier combo guard with better skills. Put anyone else in Fish's place and OKC's big three get the ball less.

[ChrisTheFuturePaul]

I remember Fisher's Game 1 where he scored 4 points in like 20 seconds to really wake up the crowd, cause a time out, and started the momentum shift for OKC.

fisher's contribution to a team cannot be seen

[BULLHITTER]

15 or so years in the league, significant contributor on championship teams; multiple rings. obviously nba gms and coaches see fisher's abilities on a whole different level than using stupid assed PER stats....there's a reason why you NEVER hear any coaches, commentators, experts etc. bringing up PER in conversation about any basketball players.

gotta love the fans.
