6-08-2010. This is up elsewhere, but I wanted to personally tribute Derek Fisher as I did Pau Gasol not too long ago. Fish was as clutch as Kobe was and as clutch as Bob Horry. That is not a controversial statement considering Fish's very long track record of hitting clutch shots and game winners. I hope no one has issue w/ that. I loved his teary post game comments, too, which I included. This was one of Derek's finest moments as a Laker.

Amazing career for a 20-level pick from Univ of Arkansas-Little Rock. He was a midmajor college kid who came to the Lakers without even having a jumpshot. He would just barrel into players for his first few months. Like Ariza, he learned how to shoot while in LA. Fisher, Kobe, Pau, Artest, Odom, Bynum and the subs all played a huge role in winning this game, which is why it is one of my favorite "modern" games.

Therefore, I don't care that it is up there on other channels and a common title. I still love this game. This saved the Lakers from elimination, obviously. All 4 wins did, but winning at least the one at BOS almost ensured a title. Wasn't as easy as it was in 87 when they only won the Baby Hook game by 1 point and then boinked the Celts on the heads w/ a garbage can lid in Gm 6.
