Barbosaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

Game one goes to the Suns. Final score 95-87. Just three more wins to go send this garbage Fakers team fishing for the summer.

This game wasn't as easy as expected. In the first half the Suns struggled to find their offense. The shots weren't falling, meanwhile on the defensive end of the court nothing was working. The Grim Rapist kept shooting, and kept hitting. He hit shot after shot in the first half despite being off balance, fading away, or being double teamed. Going into the locker room at halftime the Grim Raper had 28 points and his Fakers had a 48-39 lead.

In the second half, the Suns defense and the offense of Leandro Barbosa took over. In the third quarter the Suns outscored the Fakers 35-29, capped with Barbosa's three pointer at the buzzer. Barbosa finished with 26 points - 19 in the second half.

That Rapist guy? He was ice cold. He only scored 11 second half points, highlited by a dreadful 1-11 fourth quarter performance. If you ask me I'd rather get hot in the fourth quarter than the second quarter...but I'm not the most arrogant individual on earth.

Let's face it. The Grim Raper will never win. He is too cocky. Too arrogant. Who takes 33 shots in a game when the ball isn't going in? Who takes fadeaway three pointers against double teams when four teammates are standing 10-15 feet closer to the basket wide open? Nobody but the Grim Raper.

The Suns played some great defense, and Leandro Barbosa had a huge performance, but the Grim Raper's second half exploits are as much of a factor in the Suns win than anything else.

I'm pumped about game two, on Tuesday night. Let's hope the Suns shooting returns and that the game isn't as close.
