    No. Fisher is not at his best when he goes hard to the rim. That article lost all credibility with me when I read that.

    I don't mind it, because he draws a lot of fouls and he's money at the free throw line. Or if he throws up a brick, Bynum or Gasol are there to clean it up.

    Fisher shoots twenty percent inside, nor is his foul drawing impressive.

    I don't want to see him driving.

    9.4% Draw Foul rate isn't terrible for a PG. Obviously Fisher's more valuable shooting the 3 ball when they kick it out of the post.

    That is somewhat of an understatement, Fisher shot 41% inside all of last year, second worst in the league. I love the guy, I'm just saying... :]

    Shape, you can't defend Fisher. I didn't think it was possible to make it to the NBA without knowing how to make a simple lay up, but Fisher did it. It doesn't seem like he draws a lot of fouls, either. He just makes himself look like stupid when he drives.

    I don't mind Fisher that much, but he was pissing the hell out of me against the Rockets. I don't mind it if he's hitting his shots, but if he's off, he needs to pass the ball and get others involved. My main problem with Fisher is, a lot of times, he doesn't seem like he knows his role. He just tries to do too much. He just needs to settle down and let the offense come to him. When you have a good look, shoot it. If not, we have plenty of other scorers on the team to get the job done, just pass the ball. I also agree that I don't want to see him driving to the hoop, unless there is a wide open lane. He scares the shit out of me.

    Either way though, I still love him (no homo), and I'm glad he's a part of our team. He just needs to settle down.

    Fisher is great for this team, but he does need to respect his role
