Leandro scores 27 in Suns first game w/o Marbury
Despite the loss, Barbosa looked like the best player on the court tonight. With his exceptional quickness, he got to the basket with ease tonight and also hit a couple long-bombs. Despite not looking to distribute all that much, he made some nice passes and I'm sure if he put his mind to it, he could be a great passer as well. We already knew he could put points up..
His line:
38 mins, 27 pts, 4 assists, 3 boards, 2 steals, and perhaps most importantly 1 turnover.
The makeup of this team is far different without Stephon, but once Amare gets back I'm convinced we will be the high-flyingest team in the league. Every trade has it's perk, and perhaps one of the biggest ones of our blockbuster will be Barbosa's increased playing time.
Anyone who watched - thoughts? He looks like an NBA vet to me, even though his style of play is definitely different.
