Looks like we got this one. When does Dallas play next?

Good solid win...got lucky with some very dodgy calls...The starters played awesome, even Barnes' stink shooting was offset by his stellar all round game

REALLY hope they re-sign Dudley ASAP, once he knows the system and maybe works on his shot he could really be a 20-25min regular guy

Hope Barbs is alright!!

4 starters with 20+ points. Shaq and Nash with double-doubles. great effort. just gotta hope LB has a hyper extended knee, nothing more.

Nash tried finally to give some effort on defense in the 4th, though he left Williams for wide open 3 for no reason. With late heroics of JRich and consistent performance of Hill and Shaq, we were able to win. Hope continues.

good thing our next game is not until Sat vs WAS. give the guys a few days to rest at home.

We're cursed. As if losing Amare wasn't enough, we NEED Leandro.

C'mon, let's knock it down to three by the end of the week!

Hopefully barbs won't won't be out for too long. Without him our bench has no scoring. Today we really got by because our starters did a good job scoring with the 20+ points as you mentioned, but at the costs of them playing 35+min a game. It was out of necessity not out of good basketball. Out of the 120 something points, we only got about 25 off the bench.

He's under contract through 2012.

Coro reports no swelling in LB's knee so maybe he can be ready for the nugget game in a week. Won't need him for the wiz.

found it - new post on AZCentral

Suns guard Leandro Barbosa will be out of game action for one to three weeks after suffering a bone contusion in his left knee during Wednesday night's win against Philadelphia.

Barbosa planted his left leg awkwardly in the final minute of Wednesday's first quarter, hyperextending his left knee inward. He left the game and had a negative X-ray Wednesday before undergoing a MRI exam today.

Barbosa, 26, was averaging 19.1 points and 3.7 assists since interim coach Alvin Gentry took over at the All-Star break until Wednesday's appearance lasted one minute and 48 seconds. He had averaged 12.8 points and 2.0 assists before the break, when he took four fewer shots per game.

I nailed it solid with my prediction of 1-10 games.
