What are Dan D'Antoni and Barbosa Up To?

Ed note: Bumping this up to front page. Original sarcastic humor is always appreciated here. - srp

When Phoenix Suns Guard Leandro Barbosa emerged as the sixth man of the year last year, every Suns game had a segment about Dan D'Antoni's contribution to Barbosa's amazing success in the league's most potent offense.  Much to-do was made of the former high school basketball coach's use of short hand-written notes to LB.  How sweet - it was the feel-good story of the NBA.

However, as Barbosa has struggled a little this year, we rarely hear of what, exactly, Dan D'Antoni and "Barbs" are doing and talking about.  

Following another poor shooting day against the San Antonio Spurs (a dirty, no good team) where Barbosa missed all of his wide open 3-point attempts, we decided to follow-up on this important subplot.

Asking around the locker room, we were able to obtain Dan's most recent note to Leandro, and as a BSOTS exclusive, we post it here for your benefit. (Note: Many Bothans died to bring you this information.)






Of course, the "Brazilian Blur" may not be shooting 45% from 3 this year, but 39% ain't too shabby!
