[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi was suspended two games without pay by the WNBA for inappropriate conduct toward game officials in a loss Friday to Detroit.
Late in the fourth quarter, Taurasi was called for an offensive foul and immediately after the game the All-Star screamed and yelled at referee Michael Price.
Taurasi will miss Sunday's contest against Houston as well as next Saturday's game, also against Houston.

I just love it! I hope Houston beats them twice!

Taurasi's mouth & disrespect of the officals earned her 2 days off...hopefully without pay? Then the Mercury went on to defeat Houston, without Taurasi & Cappie who's out with an injury. They played team ball...& won, nice concept ''team ball'' Taking a page from our Monarch's playbook;)

There's an intresting article on WNBA.COM by Matt Wurst...which he talks about sitting courtside & how the fans & players interact with the officials.
Our very own ''ShoTime'' is in the photo, talking shop to a WNBA official.
