    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Atlanta Hawks have suspended guard Stephen Jackson for tomorrow night’s game against Denver for conduct detrimental to the team, according to General Manager Billy Knight.

    Jackson’s absence from the team will only pertain to Tuesday’s game against the Nuggets, and he will rejoin the team on their charter flight to Memphis tomorrow night and be in uniform Wednesday against the Grizzlies

    He did something "detrimental to the team". I wonder what that something is.

    He got in an arguement with the Hawks assistant coaches.It has something to do with the lack of winning the Hawks have been doing along with the effort they have been putting in.He was angry with the way they team kept losing games.

    It seems every team has an angry player.

    When you go from the world champions to the lottery bound Atlanta Hawks you are clearly going to be frustrated with whats going on.

    ^ Considering that he had to take a paycut when he did.

    I understand where he's coming from, but I don't think that becoming this angry and getting yourself suspended doesn't really help the team either...
    Why not try to translate that frustration into something positive?
