Harrison suspended one game by Pacers

Indiana Pacers center David Harrison is doing his best to work himself out of the NBA.

[Fanfare]

I am sure he does not know what happened. This is what happens when people use illegal drugs. Glad NBA has a drug policy.

[GOODBYE LOSER]

Thanks for nothin

[James Reece]

Another Pacer bum. Where did they get these guys?

[Kemo]

I really hope Harrison, get's some professional help.. He seems like a good guy , and a player with unlimited potential . IF he would get some help , I believe we could see a major turnaround in his personality and playing ability...
I don't think David can help it , I honestly believe he has what is called an "Explosive Personality Disorder"..
It would be a real shame , not only to David, but the Indiana Pacers , to see him get cut by the Pacers, or kicked out the NBA because of a very real problem he needs help with...

I think that either the NBA , or the Pacers , should have him evaluated by a professional, and NOT just sweep him under a rug... To me , that would be a travisty..

Drugs, drugs, drugs, baked beans, drugs, drugs, drugs and drugs.

We should have known he was on drugs when we drafted him and he said "I'll be the next shaq!" This is merely what happens when he tries to get off of the dope.

Harrison, you are an absolute SISSY! I've seen guys hit much harder than you were in pick-up games just laugh about it (even though it might have hurt) to show they are tough. Did your mother always wipe your nose whenever it was runny? Why don't you grow up, get tougher, learn to move your feet on defense and put a smile on your face? Oh, and please do this in another city! Your are a total disgrace to the male population! Correction, make that anyone who has ever played "contact" sports. Go watch a high school women's soccer game and you'll be ashamed at how soft you are!!!

That's right. And he's lazy too.

Who cares......about any of them, they don't.

[Gotta Wonder]

The pacers should pay to get him mental help simply because they won't realize any value for him at the end of the year when they dump him unless they take drastic action. Suspensions for drugs and outbursts alone will knock his value. He needs his image revamped. Silly kid is a head case.

LEAVE THE GUN, TAKE THE CANOLI

It's funny how the only time people seem to care about the Pacers anymore is when they're shooting up a strip club, driving around the ghetto with a Cadillac full of weed, harboring murderers from other states or threatening to kill people.

They provide entertainment (and often) to be sure. Wonder if they will ever matter in the sport world again, though.

[sparkplug]

Is he this dumb? Does he really not understand that smoking dope will cause irrational behaviour like this? Surely he is smart enough to realize that the general public thinks he's an overgrown baby, when really it's probably side effects from smoking to much weed.

Put the weed down, ding dong!

[GhostBuster]

Calling all hyprocrites who have never smoked weed - at least have never been caught. Who introduced weed to society? It certainly wasn't someone from the Ghetto and the majority of pot smokers are not from the Ghetto. Wake up!

Probably not, but the majority of Pacers who keep running afoul of the law are. So, I don't see you point.

have fun in europe next year david

[My personal opinion]

Why the heck are you paying someone to play / work when they have failed a drug test 3 times.

The Simon's, Walsh and Bird owe the State of Indiana and Indianapolis an apology.

[sealionindy]

He will be a "free agent" in more ways than one come this summer.

Europe? What is he going to do over there. Play women's basketball? Nevermind, they would be too tough for him! Thankgoodness he wasn't playing in the NC/Duke game last night, he wouldn't have lasted a quarter.

Bingo, the majority of Pacers' players are NOT FROM THE GHETTO! They live in beautiful homes all over the north side of town. Why several of them CHOOSE to smoke weed, cause disturbances at 3 am during training camp, beat up managers at bars, go to dive strip clubs in the hood, and get their equipment manager shot up is nobody's fault but THEIR OWN!

Nobody forced this guy to smoke weed. He did it to himself. It isn't whitey's fault, it's his. Listening to your diatribe is sad because your racist views are obvious to everyone but you - ghostbuster!

[hopeful in Indy]

What's wrong with all of you haters. You're talking so much hatred. Yes, he makes mistakes, yes, he has done drugs, but who of you hasn't made mistakes. We were all young and stupid at one time. Instead of hoping he fails, gets hurt, dies or whatever, why not hope he gets some help and grows up and learns some self control. I'm not giving up on you, David.
