Fishing with the Professional

Fisher refuses to slow down in backup role by Marcus Thompson

But Fisher is a professional. So, he's taking this backup point guard job and running with it -- literally.

"Last season, I expected a bigger role and wanted a bigger role based on the personnel," Fisher said after Tuesday night's 101-93 loss to the Lakers. "Now I started the season obviously knowing, with Baron (Davis) and Jason (Richardson) at the guard positions, there's not an opportunity in terms of being a starter or even probably playing big minutes. So for me it's just doing what I have to do when I get in there."

Hey I'd be a professional too if I was making $37 million big ones to sit on the bench and jack up 3's.
