Video: Derek Fisher Checks Luis Scola with Elbow, Should be Suspended
Larry Brown Sports — The way Laker fans were acting following Fisher’s stinker in Game 1, they might actually be happy if Derek Fisher were to be suspended for Game 3 against the Rockets. Luis Scola seemed to be in the middle of every tussle in the second half of Game 2 Wednesday night against the Lakers, getting into it with Lamar Odom late in the third quarter. So when Scola went to set a screen on Derek Fisher, he got leveled. Check out this hockey-style check by Fish that resulted in a flagrant 2 ejection: Fisher’s intention to make contact and hurt ...

Hi, My Name Is Kobe Bryant, And Today I Would Like To Elbow You In The Face
The Play In California — Hi America, I’m Kobe Bryant, super star basketball from the Los Angeles Lakers. You know, throughout my life, people have always asked me what I really enjoy to do with all my hours. What is my passion, the drive that keeps me alive, the thing that keeps me going everyday? Most people probably think it’s my wife, or my kids, or even basketball. Well, I’m sorry to inform you that most people are wrong. Yes, you heard right. At the end of the day, basketball, love, and money don’t matter if I can’t do what I truly love which is… …elbowing people in the face.

Derek Fisher Hits Luis Scola Hard During Lakers-Rockets Game 2: Video
Sports Rubbish — Tonight’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers & Houston Rockets was an intense one. Between Derek Fisher & Luis Scola, then Kobe Bryant & Ron Artest, it was a battle from start to finish. That said, the NBA is going to have to take a hard look at some of what went on, especially Derek Fisher’s body check on Luis Scola. Fisher nearly left his feet as he leapt into Scola, and he then threw his elbow into him as he followed through. That’s the sort of play that might have been just fine in the old NBA, but surely the league won’t let that fly now. The hit ...

The Melee of the NBA Playoffs -- 5/6/2009
Talk Hoops - Support the Habit — A lot of stuff went down on Wednesday night. Boy that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand. It jumped up a notch! It did, didn't it? "I stabbed a man in the heart." -- Derek Fisher I saw that! Derek killed a guy. Did you throw an elbow? "Yeah, there was Kobe and Ron Artest was on fire, and I hit Luis Scola with an elbow." -- Derek Fisher Fish, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for a one game suspension. Here's the video of the hit that Derek Fisher leveled Luis Scola with via Adam Best at ...

Rockets v. Lakers (Game 2): F is for Flagrant
Fourth And Fifty — I didn’t have a good feeling about this game.  In my mind it was “do-or-die” for the Lakers, and the thought of that had me convinced that this was going to be an embarrassing shellacking of the Rockets.  The first quarter did little to dispel the pit in my stomach.  With the Lakers Kobe ...

Derek Fisher Suspended For Game 3
FanHouse — by Tom Ziller Filed under: Lakers, Rockets, Playoffs That forearm earned Lakers guard Derek Fisher a one-game suspension. If the Lakers had one concern heading into the postseason, it'd be point guard with sinking Jordan Farmar and green Shannon Brown. But Phil Jackson is forced to depend on the kids in Game 3, unless he has some (Lamar Odom-related) trick up his sleeve. Fisher has argued that he mistimed his move, that he meant to fight through the screen but broke too early, which caused his arm to come up ...
