Thank You Leandro Barbosa

[Trainwreck2100]

Your series performance was of Hedo proportions.

You were the Spurs 7th man of the year.

I give him the 2007 Shawn Marion award aka the best choke work in a playoff serie.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Barbosa is king cherrypicker in the league. A lot of his points come from leaking on the break and getting easy buckets with his speed. Similar to Shawn Marion, if you keep him in a half court game and make him work those points don't come as easy and his game will suffer. He proved me right all series.

To me it seemed by like a concerted effort by the Spurs to play strong transition defense and to limit Barbosa's driving to the bucket.

This took Barbosa out of rhythm for the entire series.

Like the rest of the suns, he's a million dollar talent with a fifty cent head.

Exactly right.

Which is why a team that plays hard-nosed half-court defense will always beat a team like the Suns in a series. Marion and Barbosa are run & gun players and the Spurs hand-cuffed them and took away their weapons.

I like how he missed that wide opem three that would have made it a one possession game
