NBA Playoffs - Day 36
Suns Recover With A Win
Phoenix 106 Dallas 86
Just like their series against the Lakers . the Suns capitalize on the emotions of their players to tie the series , 2-2 . with the Mavericks. It was an emotion filled game last nig
ht with the return of an 'emotional' Raja Bell from an injury. ' His agent called me last night and said that we have to shoot Raja to prevent him from playing ' said coach D'Antoni . Bell despite playing hurt made his first 2 shots of the game. Bell was terrific also in defense showing his usual punk that made opponents lose their composures. ' I bet Raja will feel the pain the next morning ' said Steve Kerr.
The emotional high from Raja's court presence was compared by some to Willis Reed's appearance in the 1970 Knick vs. Lakers championship game . Well , not quite. In that game ( no 7 ) , a hobbling Reed entered the court late to the surprise of the c
rowd , his teammates and especially the Lakers. The dramatic entrance and the fact that Reed made his 1st 2 jumpshots disoriented Chamberlain and the rest of the Lakers that they were not able to recover . Craig Sager asked Raja after the game, ' Is that why you wear no.19 ( Reed's uniform number ) ? ' . ' No. 19 is my birthday ' said a smiling Raja. That Sager . He's really funny . Raja also thinks he's funny.
Funnier than those TNT TV guys who appeared like fools for questioning his decision to play !
There is no Suns who benefited more from Raja's presence than ' LB ' . LB is no other than Leandro Barbosa. LB felt more confident with Bell around. I
t's like the weight of the world is lifted from his shoulders and so now he can be his old self again ' said one writer. LB scored a playoff career high . LB was shooting from the 3 pt. line and driving to the basket all night long. Amazing. Even Dirk Nowitzki was impressed . ' We watched Barboza in previous series and we know what he is capable of doing ' said Norwitzi . The last time LB was just as lethal as was when the horse Barbaro won the Kentucky Derby. I guess LB's fortune is tied up with Barbaro , the horse. As you know , Barbaro was badly injured during the Preakness , the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown. Badly, that Barbaro was almost killed by his owners. In the old days , horses who get injured were subjected to 'mercy killing' . Like shooting them . Anyway , 
Barbaro was reported to be recovering well after its chances were placed at 50/50 for some time.
So you see , Barbosa's and Barbaro's fates are intertwined.
LB is Leandro Barbosa .
LB is for Live Barbaro !

Nice writing .
Dallas better improve its play next time .They cannot afford to let the Suns beat them again. I still think my Mavs will end the Suns season in 6.
Bell is one helluva player. He just won't quit . Bell is not a superstar but he is a super baller to me !
He's the best coach in the whole of NBA
D'Antonio is one smart coach. I enjoy his ways of fielding people .
Looks nice! Awesome content. Good job guys.
