I'm sorry if this is old news but I just found out that LB has a blog on yardbarker! Pretty cool, huh?
He already posted his feelings about the Superbowl outcoming, but the real interesting part is his thoughts about the recent Shaq trade.

ive never seen that site, was good to know, thanks man

rondo and bdiddys were interesting too

ill be going back there for sure

You'd think he work on his passing more instead of his blogging..


a-hole

why do you have such a problem with the talents of a guy who is paid only a very average contract and is our sixth man?

you seem to expect him to be nash?

I have a problem with his passing being at the same level its been since he got in the league.. I have a problem with him being so damn reckless when he goes to the hoop..

I dont expect him to be Nash, that'd be foolish of me to do.. But i do expect him to make better decisions. He's not just our 6th man, hes the backup to the most important position in our system and he should play like he's been here a while.

He worked his ass off to better his long range shot.. I think hes fully capable of correcting his passing habits as well.

When he gets his passing habits under control I hope he will help Nash get his under control as well.

ok..

i dont know if thats quite worth calling the guy an "a-hole" though?

i do understand the frustrations though, he can be a frustrating player

Come on, dude.. You should know by now that i often overreact to a lot of things. This is just another mini episode

The guy Barbs should imitate is not Nash, not Gilbert (nobody should), it's KJ. That would mean he needs to get a bit stronger though and work nonstop at drawing contact and finishing with contact.

I agree that LB can be a frustrating player. I always find myself shouting at him during games lol
In a perfect world he would pass the ball to Raja for an open 3, or find Amare under the basket for an easy bucket, instead of trying reverse layups in traffic.
But sometimes I think that would take away from his game... there are not many backups in this league, that can make an instant impact on the game like Barbosa does. And that's all about being agressive, you will never see him hiding behind his defender, just trying not to screw things up... LB fearless style is his best quality, even if sometimes it seems to be his biggest flaw too.

I don't know if by adding a few pounds he would loose some of his speed, but I definitely would like to see him getting to the free-throw line more often. That would be huge.

Greg Oden had a comment in the barb

He SHOULD watch tapes of Tony Parker
