Derek Fisher asked the Jazz to release him. The Jazz honored his request and released him. A few days later he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. He will be rejoining his former team, where he won 3 championships. He should bring a lot of experience to the Lakers backcourt. He will dish out a lot of assists to Lamar Odom and Kobe Bryant. He can still shoot well from long distance too. Most of all he will bring confidence and experience to them, along with good defense. The Lakers are hoping that this move can help them make some noise in the playoffs. Kobe will also have some help on the offensive end. He will not have to take a lot of crazy shots, because Derek Fisher will get him the ball for OPEN shots. He should improve the Lakers and hopefully get them far into the playoffs.

Quotes of the week

Anaheim's parade to the penalty box led to four power-play goals in a surprisingly easy Game 1 series win for the Dallas Stars.
Brenden Morrow scored and added two assists in the 4-0 road win over the defending Stanley Cup champions. Jere Lehtinen had a goal and an assist, while Steve Ott and Loui Eriksson also scored.
I wrote last week, in the lead up to the first of our trilogy of encounters with Liverpool, of how wary I was of our european encounters with the scousers. And so it proved. In many ways, we were desperately unlucky to only come out of that encounter with just the one goal and a draw to show for our endeavours.
