Another example of Fish's importance could be looked at in terms of Utah's struggles combined with our success so far.
Perhaps it's just coincedence but Utah has begun to look like a team that's young and talented but lacks the same leadership. I think Fish REALLY helped Deron last year.
Thanks and salutations to D-Fish

I like Fish to and he is having a career year. He is having 20 point games with basically 1 skill, shooting.
With that said I don't mean to be buzz killington but he is not the only reason we are winning like this. Kobe and Odom are healthy but more importantly Andrew Bynum has emerged as there second option and a second star Kobe so badly needed. We all knew all Kobe needed was a #2 guy and he has him. Plus we have depth like never before and besides Kwame everybody on the team has improved.
As for the Jazz they feel the loss but it's not why there record is bad imo. There are alot of teams that were great last year and got off to poor starts like the Rockets and Warriors and that is because other teams have emerged like the Blazers and teams have gotten alot better that were close like the Hornets.
Fish is great and deserves credit but he was not the sole savoir.
