<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CLEVELAND -- Stephen Jackson's temper brought more trouble for him Saturday night, as he was kicked off the Indiana Pacers' bench by coach Rick Carlisle during their game with Cleveland at Quicken Loans Arena. Jackson was ejected by Carlisle after being benched with 2:46 left in the second period of the Pacers' 107-75 loss to the Cavaliers, and spent the rest of the game in the locker room. Jackson, who had been repeatedly burned by Cavs forward LeBron James in the first half, snapped at Carlisle as he walked to the bench. As Jackson was sitting down, Carlisle stood and pointed to the locker room, shouting at him to leave. Jackson tossed his chewing gum toward the court as he headed for the exit tunnel. "He came to the bench and an exchange ensued that I thought was inappropriate and detrimental to the team, and so I made a decision to remove him from the bench," Carlisle said afterward.</div> Source
This guy just doesn't get it. He has alot of talent, but he just does some STUPID things. C'mon Stephen, when will you get it together?
The Pacers need a change This is the next sign that things are getting ugly in Pacerland. Ever since Ron mutinied on them, they have been falling apart. If they can't get a winning record this year, they need to change their whole identity and move forward. That means get rid of Carlisle, and trade anyone you can except for Jermaine.
