* Stephen Jackson, Don Nelson and Larry Riley are supposedly meeting tomorrow, when the Warriors have their first practice at home after a long LA road trip. This will be interesting.
-According to a highly-placed NBA source, Stephen Jackson's two-game suspension was the result of a multi-stage confrontation with Don Nelson during Friday's game in Los Angeles.
First, as Jackson was in the process of picking up five fouls in about nine minutes guarding Kobe Bryant-and not getting pulled by Nelson-a seething Jackson screamed that he was sick and tired of receiving no support from the Warriors (or Nelson).
At this point, Jackson was presumably referring to Nelson not standing up for Jackson with the replacement referees, or not taking him out when he was in obvious foul trouble.
The source said that Jackson's fury was understood to include the bigger picture-that the Warriors weren't supporting him with promised player additions and maybe that Nelson wasn't supporting him, generally. (Of course, Jackson has publicly asked to be traded and has yet not been traded.)
That outburst, alone, would not have gotten Jackson suspended.
But, according to the source, the more serious incident occurred moments later, when Nelson was trying to calm Jackson down.
Nelson told Jackson to head back to the locker room, take a shower and cool down.
Nelson apparently also put his hand on Jackson at the same time, to settle the situation (he thought).
Jackson immediately roughly brushed off Nelson's hand, and, according to the source, told him loudly never to do that again and included many more angry words directed at Nelson.
Jackson went to the locker room and stayed there, apparently without further incident. But Warriors management apparently was concerned enough to keep Jackson away from Nelson for at least a few hours.
