Derek Fisher Suspended for Game 3

That forearm earned Lakers guard Derek Fisher a one-game suspension. If the Lakers had one concern heading into the postseason, it'd be point guard with sinking Jordan Farmar and green Shannon Brown. But Phil Jackson is forced to depend on the kids in Game 3, unless he has some (Lamar Odom-related) trick up his sleeve.

Fisher has argued that he mistimed his move, that he meant to fight through the screen but broke too early, which caused his arm to come up faster than he thought. To which the world (including Stu Jackson) replies, "B-A-L-O-N-E-Y." (No suspension for Kobe Bryant, by the way.)
