By alleyoop The Suns have Jason Richardson and Leandro Barbosa at shooting guard and not many teams can match that quality or depth. The 28-year old Richardson will be the starter for the Suns.

The Suns had two longer scrimmages at the end of Thursday night's practice with Nash, Richardson, Dudley, Clark, Frye, Dragic, Sykes and Powell on one team and Dickau, Barbosa, Tucker, Stoudemire, Lopez, Griffin and Amundson on the other. Grant Hill sat out with a shin bruise.

By Massacre Matt Barnes had season-high totals of 25 points and 10 rebounds to lead Phoenix. Grant Hill scored 23 points, Amare Stoudemire had 21 points and 11 rebounds, and Leandro Barbosa added 18 points for the Suns. Steve Nash shot 2-of-12 and was held to seven points and nine assists.

By David Friedman(noreply@blogger.com) The Phoenix Suns successfully opened the Terry Porter era with a 103-98 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, their main nemesis for the past several seasons. Amare Stoudemire scored 22 points on 8-11 shooting and added eight rebounds, Leandro Barbosa added 18 points off of the bench and Shaquille O'Neal controlled the paint with 15 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Steve Nash had 13 points and 13 assists. The Spurs--playing without injured starters Manu Ginobili and Fabricio Oberto--were led by Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, each of whom scored 32 points. Roger Mason (12 points) was the only other Spur who scored in double figures.   [read the full post]

Which Boris Diaw will show up under Porter's reign and how will Leandro Barbosa perform without the guidance of the D'Antoni brothers? Suns General Manager Steve Kerr has spoken of limiting Nash to 70 games this season, but that sounds like a risky option. Goran Dragic is promising but you...

Also, Boris Diaw had 10 points and Leandro Barbosa added eight in the first half. If two out the three players (Diaw, Bell, LB) score 15 or more points, the Suns are 17-2. So with the combination of Bell scoring over 20 and Diaw having scored over 15, the Suns have a double-whammy. Go Suns!

Leandro Barbosa is going to start in place of Grant Hill, who is laboring with a strained groin. Coach Mike D’Antoni considered starting Boris Diaw, but if one of his bigs got tired, he wanted to be able to sub in Boris to provide some relief.

But for the Suns, Grant Hill never got involved, scoring 0 points in nearly 20 minutes. Boris Diaw was out of synch and Leandro Barbosa, who usually is an energy boost as the second-leading bench player in the league, registered 0 points. Besides Boris for a few minutes, no one besides Shaq, S...

By David Friedman With O'Neal back in the paint for the closing couple minutes, the Suns took a 93-90 lead. They got a stop and had possession of the ball with :44 left. One more score would have all but clinched the game. Instead, Steve Nash dribbled around but never created a good shot for himself or a teammate, resulting in a shot clock violation. Then the Suns had a defensive breakdown, enabling Michael Finley to hit the tying three pointer. Even after that, the Suns had the ball with 15 seconds remaining but they did not get a shot off until Leandro Barbosa made an off balance fling with one second left. Steve Nash's numbers the past few seasons are wonderful but MVPs and legends are supposed to be made in these kind of moments; he runs the show and he simply has to make...   [read the full post]

Fortunately, they still had nobody who could cover Amare, even a less than 100 percent Amare. The best they could do was foul him and he hit 7 of 9 free throws and scored 11 his 28 points to lead the charge. Leandro Barbosa sealed the deal with a three-point shot and then another basket, plus a key...

By David Friedman Regardless of what the standings say or what certain "experts" declare, the two strongest and most well rounded teams in the West are the San Antonio Spurs and the Phoenix Suns--and on Wednesday the Suns demolished the Spurs 96-79 in San Antonio. This is the Suns' second win in a row versus the Spurs since acquiring Shaquille O'Neal and just their third win in San Antonio in their last 15 tries. Amare Stoudemire finished with 21 points and four rebounds, leading a parade of six Phoenix players who scored in double figures, including Shaquille O'Neal (16 points on 7-9 shooting plus nine rebounds in just 24 minutes), Leandro Barbosa (14 points) and Steve Nash (12 points, 10 assists, five rebounds). Tim Duncan (23 points, 10 rebounds), Tony Pa...   [read the full post]

By David Friedman An 8-0 run in the last 1:25 enabled the Denver Nuggets to beat the Phoenix Suns 126-120, earning a split in their back to back meetings and moving them past Golden State into the eighth spot in the Western Conference. Allen Iverson scored a game-high 31 points on 9-18 shooting from the field and 11-11 free throw shooting. He also had three assists and two steals. Carmelo Anthony had 25 points, eight rebounds and four assists but he also committed eight turnovers. J.R. Smith again provided scoring punch off of the bench (17 points in 28 minutes). Leandro Barbosa, who has moved into the starting lineup recently due to Grant Hill's groin injury, led Phoenix with 27 points. Amare Stoudemire contributed 25 points and 10 rebounds, though he also had six t...   [read the full post]

By David Friedman The teams traded jumpers in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter but the Suns pulled to within 101-99 because some of their jumpers came from three point range. Then Barbosa missed two straight three pointers and Denver pushed the lead back to six, 105-99. Bender and his broadcasting partner Eddie Johnson began talking about how much energy teams expend when trying to come back and how hard it is to sustain that. Then the Suns did something that they never could have done with their old, pre-Shaquille O'Neal team: they started pounding the ball inside. Stoudemire drew a foul and split a pair of free throws. O'Neal posted up and fed a cutting Stoudemire for a dunk. O'Neal dunked off of a feed from Boris Diaw, was fouled and made the free throw to...   [read the full post]

By David Friedman That sequence basically wrapped things up and as the Lakers put the finishing touches on the win, Mark Jackson made a rather bold statement, declaring that the Lakers' roster is better than the Suns' roster "in a landslide." He never explained why he believes that to be true but that statement does not stand up to close examination. The Suns had seven double figure scorers in this game compared to five for the Lakers and the Suns' roster includes a two-time MVP (Nash), two other All-Stars (Stoudemire, Shawn Marion), a former All-Star who is playing like an All-Star this season (Grant Hill), an All-Defensive Team player (Raja Bell) and one of the top sixth men in the league (Leandro Barbosa), so a good early season start and a couple head to he...   [read the full post]

The Suns guard and NBA Sixth Man is uneasy with his increased popularity. b Diaw, Parker finally meet in playoffs

Suns reserve guard Leandro Barbosa is about as impossible to slow down as a sneeze.

The Suns have tried Boris Diaw, Leandro Barbosa, Kurt Thomas and, with Wednesdays game, James Jones in search of the answer for the teams fifth starter. The four joined Shawn Marion in giving the Suns the 10991 victory.

By Paul Coro Leandro Barbosa just keeps breaking out. The Sixth Man of the Year has been the Suns' top scorer of late, putting him back in the starting lineup to ensure a high-tempo pace for big games such as tonight's against San Antonio.

The Suns use of smaller lineups was a main reason they had a 35point turnaround Friday against Denver.

For a stretch of nearly 11 minutes Sunday, Leandro Barbosa was the Suns offense. He scored 17 consecutive Suns points, one off Steve Nashs franchise record. Barbosa scored 15 of them in a stretch of 406 in the second quarter, ending Phoenixs fourminute scoreless stretch.

By Paul Coro One way to make sure the Suns play faster offensively than they did in consecutive blowout losses, is to put perhaps the league's fastest player on the court. For tonight's home game, the Suns will give Leandro Barbosa his first start since Feb. 28.
