After last night's game, I'm picking Barbosa as the one to watch. His ability to split the defense and get to the rim at will was pretty impressive.
Split the season series and I would have to guess better division record is the next in line. Best they can do is 6 wins in the division we already have 9.
Hahaha. Remember the time way back when Lin was asked about which NBA player he saw himself as having a similar game and he answered Goran Dragic and the dude asking was like huh why compare yourself to a career backup player?

Because of the style the Suns are playing, I'm worried that Harden will be forced to chase his man everywhere, which not only will expose his defensive issue, but also may effect his offense due to fatigue.
