The most recent What If vignette takes a look at the 2007 Western Conference Semifinals between the Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs. This week’s installment asks how the series would’ve turned out if Robert Horry of the Spurs and Amar'e Stoudemire and Boris Diaw of the Suns were not suspended. Horry was suspended two games following his flagrant foul of Phoenix’s Steve Nash, while Stoudemire and Diaw – who left the immediate vicinity of their bench – were suspended one game apiece. San Antonio would ultimately capture the series in six games. |
