Barbosa Returns - talks about things

Here's uncut exclusive audio of Leandro talking about his return. He sounds ok and is looking to stay busy and focus on basketball. He and Matt Barnes have become friends and Matt's been helping through this loss.

LB reports that he's lost some weight and isn't in great shape but suns.com reported via Twitter that he will likely play on Tuesday. Should be good to have him back but to be sure, he will need a few games to get his groove on.

Terry Porter sounds up beat on things and credits Nash's high number of turn overs to the longer defenders the Blazers switched on him and didn't feel that they were of the troublesome variety in that there weren't forced passes.

While he didn't say for sure, it sounds as if Shaq will get a rest either Tuesday or Wednesday. The Big Fella caught a few bruises as a result of his latest front row seat leaping show but is ok.

Not in this audio but reported to me from KTAR is that Matt Barnes is having issues with his big toe. More to come on that.

Our players

We really do have some genuinely good human beings on the team. Proud to be fan.

It's Ba-Nash. It's a no brainer.

Major word, Suns Ben.

I’m proud of this organization for finding high character guys.

I'm glad he is back

Hope he’s Ok. Losing your parents is one of the worst experiences ever.
It’s great to hear everyone is supporting him. Proud to be a fan of these guys also.

Not to sound too cheesy...

but it’s been such a privilege to have an organization that consistently gets “good” guys. The list goes on and on and LB is certainly at the top.

*Disclaimer: This method hasn’t produced a championship but I’m a firm believer in working hard, doing the right thing, and the karma will take care of itself.

It's Ba-Nash. It's a no brainer.

Good he is back.

Glad to hear he is back. Losing a parent is very hard. I’ve been there with losing my mom 8 years ago to cancer at age 50. Makes me proud to be a fan too. Good character here with two good guys. Welcome back. This is a feel good thing, and it is safe to say I’m not the only one proud to be a fan.

LB and MB

My heart goes out to LB during this time. It is hard to imagine losing a parent, and to lose your mother is an especially traumatic experience. I just lost my mother to cancer in August and am still trying to make sense of it all. So I give a salute to LB and MB for being able to pull through and still make it out onto the court. These are two true warriors that we all will keep in our thoughts. Close win last night guys……but a “W” is a win.

I'm sorry to hear that

Cancer is a bitch. I’ve been a cancer survivor for about 9 years now and my fiancee has been for about 5 years. It sounds cliche but email me if you ever want to talk, bro.

And yes, I’m all for the ugly wins – shows character.

It's Ba-Nash. It's a no brainer.
