With the suspension of Raja Bell comes the end of the Phoenix Suns season.  Phoenix, a team already depleted by injuries, could not afford to lose Bell and will lose in L.A. on Thursday night.

Kobe Bryant will be looking to put the dagger in the heart of the Suns and will be able to do against someone other than Bell.  This is obviously good news for Kobe because Raja Bell was one of the few players that can defend on Pheonix.  Bryant will have to the freedom to score and get his teammates open looks all game long, and will be backed by a roaring crowd in Los Angeles. 

Forget about the Subway Series in baseball, we now have a potential seven game series between the two teams in Los Angeles, something even the city of L.A. probably never dreamed possible.
