NBA players and owners will meet again today Monday, October 10th in attempts to hash out their differences once more before the first few weeks of the season have to be canceled. In a new letter, union rep Derek Fisher alerted his fellow players to take their plight public using social media, angling for fan support by tweeting the hashtags #LetUsPlay and #StandUnited.

Man, you never can tell. After I’ve been moaning and groaning all summer, there actually seems to be an inkling of hope about the NBA lockout. Read the rest of this entry »

This is like witnessing a crime being committed. In the role of victim, we have the Lakers’ Derek Fisher. His assailant is portrayed by young monster (and Tennessee native) Corey Brewer of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The look of terror on Fisher’s face lets you know he will need counseling as a result of the incident. Read the rest of this entry »

Join as we watch would could potentially be the last NBA game of the season…unless you count the WNBA.

It’s now okay to don your jerseys, authentics only please.

Keep the chatter here folks. And no switch-siding lol.

No it isn’t Lakers versus Celtics. And no it isn’t LeBron versus Kobe. But this year’s finals still features two teams that play an entertaining style of basketball focused on offensive execution, team play and athleticism. There’s still plenty of star power with Kobe and Dwight Howard, even if The King has retreated to his summer palace. And arguably, these have been the best two teams over the grueling grind that is the NBA playoffs.

In preparation for a potentially epic Finals, The Crew’s Patrick M, Sam C and MZ are breaking down the match-ups and committing their predictions to cyberspace. Listen close and take notes.

The Breakdown:

Point Guard: Rafer Alston (12.7, 2.50, 4.4*) vs. Derek Fisher (7.1, 1.8, 2.4)

Jameer Nelson may give it a go, but I think the Magic would be wise to pull a Drew Bledsoe on his ass (for this year at least.)

Chauncey and Carmelo have led this healthy squad to this point, but let’s not forget the defensive contributions of Denver’s frontcourt in Kenyon Martin, Birdman and Nené. The team is tougher, more focused and just flat out better than last year’s squad. It wouldn’t be farfetched to say this is the best roster the franchise has ever seen.

All of this is fine and dandy, but is it enough to beat L.A.? Read the rest of this entry »

Oooh wee. Beyoncé Knowles and Idris Elba may have the #1 movie in America with Obsessed but the entire script seems to be a reality for L.A. Lakers guard Derek Fisher.

For those worried about plot spoilers, eh, the movie was as predictable as their ongoing series with the Utah Jazz. Basically “devil white woman” imagines she’s in a relationship with a honest man and a laundry list of problems soon follow.

As TMZ reports, the woman has stalked him and his family for years, claims that they are married and even legally changed her last name to Fisher.
