i dont know if this has already been posted or not, but when is barbosa supposed to be back? and what kind of impact do you think he'll have the rest of the season?

Within the next 14 days.

I wonder whether Gentry is going to put him back as a starter after he settles back in with the team.

I don't see him as a starter until he starts contributing effectively and efficiently again.

I'd take Barbosa in over J-Rich as a starter.

it has been a tough season for LB.

Yeah, he's pretty much been hurt since that 14-3 start.

Jrich is on fire lately doubt gentry puts lb in the starting 5

Ya barbosa wasn't even a starter when he was healthy. No chance he starts now.

JRich shot 4 pts the other day...

Hopefully without that cist on his wrist, he'll be back to his confident shooting ways.

LB is a great 6th man (when healthy), I think he's better suited there than on court with the starting 5. Even if he gets more minutes than a starting JRich you bring him off the bench for his explosive spark.

i miss LB. He's the forgotten man in our roster. can't wait for him to come back and contribute like he has in the past. I do fear a trade in the off season.

I miss him too. I just doesn't seem like he's really been with us all season. He missed so many games and when he was playing, he was playing hurt and only had a few good games.

I really hope he can pick it up when he comes back.

He's had some issues on and off the court and he's a guy whose confidence can get hurt a little bit. I hope he is a part of our team's future and can come back to being the true spark our offense needs sometimes.

Nash/Barbosa backcourt would get shredded on defense

They would, but before RIch's recent string of games I would have actually supported having Rich come off the bench. It would help to get Barbosa going and Richardson was finding his groove as the designated go to guy on the bench for a few games. The experiment didn't last long enough for us to really get a clear picture though since Barbs got injured again.
