For the guy who defended Fisher. 2nd to worst fg % of all starting guards in the NBA. Largest point difference of any point guard in the NBA. Lowest assists per game of any point guard in the NBA. If I could find a stat of Fish in the paint I bet it would be under 15%. My 5-year old is better going to the hoop. He is by far the worst starting point guard offense, defense. These are facts.

Kurt – Thanks for all your help with becoming a better basketball fan.

Darius – Good luck! I don’t think you’ll be needing it, though. You are going to do a fantastic job.

Chris H,

I’m far from a Fish basher, but some things are just true.

Kaveh,

Fish is the worst fast breaker in the NBA. He makes the wrong play 9.5 times out of 10.

I also recall Fish intercepting a pass late in the 4th qtr, when Philly was still trying to make a come back, Fish jumped up, caught the entry pass and tossed it down court to an open Laker, and when he did this, I felt like THAT was the dagger in that game.
… experience … counts … for … something.

you guys remind me of the party of NO when it comes to Fish, only seeing the negative.

kaveh, I seem to recall Fish making some excellent decisions on the breaks, one time passing to a Pau running just steps in front of him who converted that into an “and 1″, that was a perfect thread the needle pass.
(like to see you do something like that)
I really get sick of the Fisher bashers around here.
jeez

Fisher is just horrible. Even though i’m a laker fan, i actually feel cheated when he drives to the hole, gets about 2 inches off the ground, has no desire to do anything other than create contact and cause a foul, and the refs actually bail him out. He is just horrible on the eyes. Whatever the issue with Farmar/Brown/Vujacic, for the sake of my soul, just sit fisher down please.

“Considering Ron’s -1 and Farmar’s +12, as right now the +/- is a complete joke from my point of view.”

+/- has never been meant to use for just one game. Over time the variance drops out and it becomes more accurate.

The good Farmar +/- was a reflection of how bad Fisher was this game. If Artest is dragged down by playing with Fisher then his +/- will look bad. Farmar is the only one who didn’t have to play with Fisher, so he has the best +/- for the game.

Eventually you do have to adjust for other players since people do not play equally with each teammate. But after enough games even unadjusted +/- can tell you something about how well someone is playing.

So how about that Boston getting swept by the Hawks tonight huh? Hopefully they still have enough mojo to be competitive come Sunday…
