Another LD2k video, this time in honor of Derek Fisher.
I do hate to say it, but DFish simply doesn't cut it any more. His defense this game was not particularly bad, he managed to stay with Chauncey and contest near every shot Chauncey took, it's just that Chauncey made them (though it should be noted that Chauncey cooling down near direct coincided with Artest switching on to him and forcing him to give up the ball). What's the problem, however, is his offense. He's shooting under 40% from the field this season, and only 35% from three; not good enough for a spot-up shooter. This game was no exception, going 2/7 from the floor and 0-2 from three. L.A. do NOT need a ball-dominant point guard like Harris, however they do need a solid point guard who can hit open shots, find the open man, play satisfactory defense, and be a bit of a playmaker when necessary.
The Lakers are ninth in offensive efficiency this year, and it seems due to this perimeter-heavy attack that usually leaves Pau Gasol(notes) and Andrew Bynum(notes) as bystanders. There's no reason a team this brilliant should be ninth. Ron Artest(notes) is a part of that problem, I submit, but he's a nutter. Kobe and Fisher? They know better. Not only that, they know the offense. And you know that I know that you know that they know that Gasol and Bynum are fantastic.
