Not too bad an article though. I read the entire thing without losing interest.

very good read. He did let the dungmurphy off the hook,and we in the bay know what a drag they were, but I agree with him and nelson. Jackson may have been the steal of the deal. Whatever his off court behavior, he is a teammate who will go into battle (or into the stands) to defend his team. I have never heard one teammate say anything other than grateful comments to have Sjax on their side, and it is not shocking that a looser, dare I say more "liberal" coach, like nelson, would be a far better fit for Jackson than a rigid and "conservative" coach like Carlisle. (Disclaimer, I have no idea as to their politics, I am talking culturally and basketball-wise.)

Some of these Pacers quotes are priceless...

This is beginning to look like a jinxed franchise. They have a proud tradition, good management, and an excellent coach, but the needle is stuck.

I'm doing my best to bite my tongue...

The Pacers have made the playoffs for nine straight years -- just one example of their stability over the past decade until guys like Jackson ruined it -- and now they're falling to pieces.

What the hell's he talking about?? The trade that took Stephen Jackson OUT of Indiana is the reason they're not making the playoffs.
