And that's just Mario Lopez keepin' it real to his Minneapolis roots. What wrong with that? Don't hate on Slater, dawg.

Fisher's pretty much just a catch and shoot player. You don't really need a good defender to guard him. Maybe Hill's length could challenge Fisher's shot a bit more than Parker can, but most of Fish's shots come from the defense collapsing on Kobe/Gasol/Bynum.

Who/whats a Bynum?

That's not the only area Fisher is important. He brings the ball up and he is very physical against the opposing PG when that guy is bringing the ball up. He gets away with a lot of body contact. Making a PG's inlet pass or pass to set up the offense difficult really creates complications to the offense. Hill will most likely be coming in against Jordan, who usually speeds up the tempo when he's in and Hill is the perfect type of defender who can slow Jordan down.

However, Phil will probably just have Odom bring the ball down if that's the case but then the Lakers will really slow their tempo down with their second group as it will mainly be Odom in isolation AND bringing the ball up. Slowing down the tempo of the Laker bench is key.

I have no idea what Laker team you've been watching, but it's a different one than I do.

I'm talking about a scenario of Jordan gets worked by Hill and Phil sees it's difficult for Jordan to get the offense set up. The 2nd best option for you second group would be to have Odom bring it up since he's going to get it anyways.

Mario Lopez oozes SoCal douchebaggery. Effin' Slater.

I worry about Tony Parker sometimes. He married: (1) a floozy, (2) who is older than him, and (3) is from Corpus Christi. Those are three bad things. And then you have to worry about Slater tampering with your marriage. SLATER. And then Slater wears a damn Lakers shirt.

Forget this. Maybe Screech likes the Spurs. Vanessa's basically single, right?

I hear you about Mario Lopez. Have you ever gone to a nightclub in Los Angeles? Man, you have NO IDEA. It's nauseating.

I can't argue with that, that s**t is nasty. I remember standing on the riverwalk during the '05 championship parade. The water smelled like ass and I was trying SO hard not to feel up the nun that was practically standing on top of me. Damn you, morality!
