Depends what time it is on.

930 eastern time

[Simon]

1030 my time, Ill be up for some of it.

[Cowboy]

I am hopig for a nice easy win

[StealthBravo]

That argument can be made for Dallas too though. Just imagine how sick we'd be if you threw a 100% Butler into the mix the past few weeks where we've really found a killer groove.

Well it really is all about health and chemistry, isnt it!

[Simon]

I doubt that will happen (the easy part, not the win part)

[StealthBravo]

Damn this Bynum for Parker trade is getting tons of buzz here.

[Simon]

Straight up deal?

[Paco]

When do they start broadcasting the games on abc other than on Sunday's?

[sickchris714]

Not a good deal. Lakers core still good to compete but need to get faster.

[Paco]

[Simon]

When do they start broadcasting the games on abc other than on Sunday's?

For the finals I think

[Simon]

Yea

Not a fan of that then. Don't want to trade a big for a small.

I'd do a Bynum for Parker trade. Lakers need a 1 guard badly, Fisher is a complete joke.

[Simon]

I wouldn't. And joke isn't what I would use to describe someone who has consistently hit huge shots in the playoffs for them.

[punjabi212]

Lakers would still have 5 championships in the "Fisher era." He gets burned by any point guard, and how'd he do in these playoffs? The only thing he does well is flop.

[Simon]

I dont think they would have had 5 at all. Last 2 championships he played a big part in both finals. Big 3 to force overtime in a game against Orlando and last year's 4th quarter performance in game 3 against Boston won that game. Without that they could have lost all 3 games in Boston and that would have been it. And I am not even mentioning all the times he helped in the 3peat.

He didnt do much this year but none of the Lakers really did, bad showing all around. I still wouldn't say all Fisher is good for is flopping though. if that's all you have to say about Fisher then you obviously dont know much about the Lakers.

[punjabi212]

Yeah he's had a good game or two but those were not the reasons the Lakers won. Shaq, Kobe, and Gasol (and to a certain extent Horry) are the reasons. Even if Fisher missed that 3 against Orlando, do you seriously think Orlando wins the series? Lakers won that in 5 games with ease.

I'll say this, he has made some good shots, but if you were to replace him with another point guard, the Lakers would still have those five championships. Off the court, Fisher is as good as they come, has done a lot for the community.
