You know, I love the fish for all he did for us last year....but he did go to one of our greatest rivals, and now uses all of his great memories from Utah against the Jazz, as he knows what the Jazz like to do.

Kudos to the Lakers for getting him, but when he has a smug look on his face coming out of a time out, as if he knows exactly what Utah is going to run....I will boo him because he is a Laker now!

Not because I think he turned on Utah....Repeat I will BOO the fish because he is a Laker...period!!

Fisher is a classy player, and he helped the Jazz while he was here. But, Larry should have inserted a clause in his release papers that prohibited him from playing for the Lakers. It's one thing to let him do what is best for his family, and another for Larry to aid, and abet the enemy!
Fish good, Lakers lose | 10:01 a.m. May 12, 2008
I would never boo Fish, but we got the best of both worlds Sunday. He was great in 4th and the Lakers still lost. Yeah! If you look at the long-range issues, it's good to see Ronnie Brewer take advantage of his opportunities, and Kyle Korver gives us a great off the bench weapon. This team is going to be great for several years to come.

I think the Jazz have found the game plan. Attack Fisher!! Get him in foul trouble. No Fish on the court = D-Will can't be stopped.

Something is "FISHY" about how the Lakers can read every play. He should have a little more class than that. I wish he could have hit those 3's last year!

Why does the national media ignore the fact that Fisher's daughter was and is treated in New York not LA. Please explain how this move was about his daughter's health? Utah fans are getting a bum deal all over again.
