The Black Hole Named Fisher

The Warriors lost tonight to the Detroit Pistons 106-103 in a game that the Warriors should have won. The Warriors were led by 36 points by Jason Richardson and Baron Davis’ 14 assists. The problem for the Warriors in the game though was Derek Fisher. He started off well shooting perfectly, 3-3 from the field and 4-4 from the line. But then around the second half sometime Fisher turned on his black hole power. All of a sudden he shoots quick shots that are well guarded and the ball doesn’t move around. There were about 5 of these possessions. Suddenly the Warriors go from up by 6 to down by 2. Derek Fisher finished the game missing his next 7 shots after making the first 3 shots he took. Regardless of that the Warriors were hanging tough until the last second. The Warriors were also on the short end of some dubious non-calls and bad calls, which hurt as well. There were also missed dunks by Foyle and Baron earlier in the game that give the Warriors the 4 points they would need for the win. But the topper on the game that angered me very much at the end was Fisher took the 3 pointer at the end of the game to try to tie. I don’t really mind this if he has too, but there was 7 seconds when the ball was inbounded to him, then he dribbles it up court and shoots with like 3 seconds left on the clock and he is like 10 feet behind the 3 point line. I wanted to strangle him. Well, that makes the Warriors 2-7 now to teams that are have a better then .500 record, not good for a team trying to get to the playoffs, and it takes the Warriors on their first losing streak of the season. On Tuesday the Warriors will match up against the Seattle Supersonics. This is a game that they Warriors HAVE to win now. So we will see what happens.
