what does my ability to play basketball have to do with Leandro's obvious deficiencies on defense? I seriously interested.

because guarding AI is a tough assignment that should taken into consideration, instead of the blatant "Barbs sucks on defense so he is a poopy player"

Nash sucks on defense, but do you call him a **** player? No.

LB finished the game with 27 points (highest of the team) and was 5-8 from the 3 point line. Just because he missed a 3 at the end doesn't warrant your anger against him.

Dude, Nash missed 2 "clutch" three's at the end. So what? Move on.

well nash's shots were contested and understandably missed.barbosa, on the other hand, bricked a wide open corner 3 while shaq managed to miss 2 free throws at the end. so much for making them when it counts, eh?

no, Barbosa has consistently shown to suck at defense.

Hey IMO barbosa is over rated from a high level reminds me of ced ceballos, fans love him because he is fun, scores a lot of meaningless points, but there's not much else to his game.

lol, im tired, can we get back to nitpicking amare, since leandro is off limits?

You can nitpick whomever you like.

I will only refute it when necessary. If it makes you feel better I have Barbosa on my fantasy team and my taunt is "Leandro Barbosa sucks lately."

Just not tonight :)

No its just you're like this after every loss. You come in here in a crap mood and blame everything on him. I don't get it.

I guess winning the 6th Man award makes you overrated?

and no nash isn't a crap player, your piecing together red herring arguments to distract me from the real point, barbosa isn't that good in the clutch.

on the bright side; Skinner looked great! I hope D'Antoni rewards him with some playing time after tonight

I would just like to see Barbosa make that driving, head down layup more than 50% of the time. I have never seen someone blow so many layups.

His defense should come with time.

Could it be the 47 free throw attempts Denver had? Nope. Barbosa from Brazil.

:bang:

So everytime Cindy Crawford does her room store commercial I think "She is still hot"

Would I hit that? It's a Slam Dunk!

so what? I have to look at threads about amare taking off his jersey or how he doesn't smile correctly, etc...but I can't point out that Leandro is about as un clutch as you can get?

Somehow, I'm not so sad about this loss. We played quite well overall. Nash did a great job balancing between dishing out and scoring. And he stayed in front of AI rather well, better than LB at least. LB and Gordan shot very well. Despite the refs, we almost pulled it again. The unlikely 20 footer by Camby killed us and we didn't seem to have enough legs behind LB and Nash's final 3pt attempts. The loss may be blessing in disguise if we could get the 3rd seed to meet Rox in the first round.

Okay, I did not realize you were just calling him un-clutch. You seemed to be mocking his engrish and taking this loss out on him like it's his fault when he outscored everyone on the court.

And yeah lol @ Amare smiling incorrectly!

I wouldn't refute he's unclutch this season, but he's hit some pretty clutch shots in the past. But I don't think you need to be comparing him to MJ, Kobe, or Nash clutch either.
