The Phoenix Suns chance of advancing to the western conference semifinals is very slim. They have lost two very important players due to a suspension. The NBA suspended Suns all-star Amare Stoudemire and his teammate Boris Diaw on Tuesday for Wednesday night’s Game 5 of Phoenix’s conference semifinal series against the San Antonio Spurs. Robert Horry has also been suspended for two games because of his harsh foul which sent Steve Nash into the scorers table and also for striking Raja Bell with his forearm
The suns will suffer without Stoudemire because he leads the team in points and rebounds. Also Raja Bell averages over nine points a game and that will be a big loss to the suns. Overall the suns got the worst out of it even though they were just defending their selves. Many people around the league have called the suns a very dirty team. In the past they have purposely tried to injure players on the opposite team, and if anyone should be punished it should be the spurs.
