Game: Los Angeles Lakers vs Detriot Pistons
Date: 11/14/08
Terror-maker: Derek Fisher
Offense: Shooting 4/16
Target: The Los Angeles Lakers
I could have chosen Kwame Brown as the number one offender on November the 14th, as he completely out played both Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. Seriously. Kwame Brown. But no, what Derek Fisher did is far more criminal than Pau getting shut down by Kwame. Fisher came into the game shooting 36% from the field, and then he goes and chucks up 16 shots. Its one thing to shoot when your team has a comfortable lead, giving yourself a chance to find your groove without screwing everyone over. Its another thing to shoot deep 2's on a fast break while your teams trying to fight back from a double digit deficit. Every time he brought the ball up the court he chucked up a shot. Although he had 0 turnovers, he missed 12 shots. Had someone else taken those twelve shots and say hit six of them, the Lakers would have had a realistic chance at winning. The guy is taking 10.8 shots a game and hitting on average 3.8 of them. That's as efficient as an old lady using an entire shopping cart just to check out a pack of gum. I don't get why old ladies have to use a shopping cart for everything. Don't they realize it congest the check-out lines? Anyway, I know Derek fisher is a great locker room leader, but on the court he's well, trigger happy. Trigger happy+ 30% shooting=fail.
