He should have played football!!!

Glad we got rid of him in Utah, what a cheap shot. Not impressed. This kinda crap doesn't belong in basketball IMO along with several other plays and players.

Sorry I just watched the video of his explanation and call me an idiot but I'm even more unimpressed after watching it.

What a joke! Where is the humility these days, "I took a cheap shot, I apologize and shouldn't have done it" makes much more sense. I've watched that video a million times and Scola was setting a very good, clean, perfect pick with no intent to move or do anything. And to think Fisher is the players rep and an ambassador for the NBA. MAN UP BUD!!!

Okay sorry for the rant, I'm done now.

I agree Brett. Although I didn't see the play "live", I saw plenty of replays and it was pretty cheap.

I understand completely....PLAYOFF BASKETBALL. I also know and except that play in any sport during a playoff scenario increases in it's physicallity. However, that was a little beyond what should be acceptable. (And to think...I am one of those guys who does not watch a lot of baskeball BECAUSE of all the ticky-tac fouls and lack of physical play like the late 80s and early 90s...man I miss those days! Oakley, Lambier, McDaniels, etc)

I am also with you Brett....If Fischer would have just been a man afterwards and said something along the lines of "I messed up...got overly aggressive...took a cheap shot...I'M SORRY" I would have taken it and accepted it.

Pretty punk play if ya ask me.

It really seems like once players hit the big leagues their Maturity level goes out the window. At least a least a lot of players does. :>/ Just one more reason I like watching college sports more than proffesional.

Sounds like hes pissed off about getting pushed around by the bigger guys getting up on him. I can understand getting frustrated but that was a way hard and intentional foul. I never seen him throw any hard fouls like that. Its surprising.
