Yes, and I don't know how I didn't think of it first...
Among the oddities in this game was James Jones blocking six shots. With his speed and reach, if he ever gets confidence in his shot he could be a key contributor. Also, a year ago Diaw couldn't get off the bench for the worst team in the league, now the AP recap of the game mentions how he was "limited" to 25 points by Diop's solid defense.
I hope the Suns look at the close game as a moral victory, considering I thought they'd get run out of the building by the more talented Mavs. Nash's garbage basket to cover for the Suns must have made for a fun scene in sports books.
Barbosa needs a good game quickly or he's bound to pull a disappearing act like he did last year about this time.
