Derek Fisher Needs to Step Down
“Championship teams I’ve been on, we’ve had to go through some things, games that were tough. You don’t go back through every series and look at the games you lost.” -Derek FIsher, press-enterprise
“Was I angry with the team? Of course you’re angry with the team…But you say as much as you can as a coach, and the players have to execute and do it on the floor.” -Phil Jackson, yahoo sports
How can you be angry at an old dog who can’t learn new tricks?
Phil Jackson’s respect for Fish apparently entails starting him at all costs, even risking playoff elimination. That’s Phil’s failure as a coach, which is ironic, considering his reputation for adeptly managing players and their egos.
But doesn’t require a championship coach to see what’s wrong with the Lakers. Four games…it’s obvious, Fisher cannot stay in front of Brooks. The mismatch at point guard is clearly the biggest difference-maker in the series. When Farmar started in Game 3, he had a +18 differential, and vastly outplayed Brooks: 12 points and 7 assists against 7 points and 1 assist, respectively. In Game 4, Fisher scored 2 points while gaving up a playoff career high 34 points from Brooks, and suffered a -26 differential.
If Fish were an intelligent basketball player, a consummate leader, a team-first guy, he would step aside and allow better suited point guards in Farmar and Brown to stop the bleeding.
All this talk about playing harder, smarter, wanting it more, etc., is all rhetoric. People need to stop talking and do the obvious. Phil needs to get players in the game that can compete. Not want to compete, but can compete. And for Fish, it’s time to step aside. If not for your career, at least for this series.
Fish can drop all the cliches in the book, but he needs to just glance at the boxscore to see what any casual viewer can see: somebody is getting murdered on TV.
If Fish does start again, the best way he can avoid the blow to his ego would be to level Brooks with another shoulder tackle – both the message of toughness as well as his absence would help the Lakers.
