I wasn't sure if this should go in the Harrison thread.

Jeff McDonald: Bonner claims his revenge
A day after flipping out at Spurs forward Matt Bonner -- and, apparently, taking out his frustrations on the visiting locker room at the AT&T Center -- Indiana Pacers center David Harrison has been suspended for one game. The Pacers announced the club-imposed punishment Friday morning, citing the ubiquitous "conduct detrimental to the team."
It comes after Harrison was hit with a technical foul during the Spurs' 108-97 victory Thursday night, during which Harrison threatened conduct detrimental to Bonner.
Bonner had just elbowed Harrison in face on a drive to the basket late in the blowout, a move that couldn't have been on purpose (Bonner's just not that smooth). Bonner was whistled for an offensive foul on the play. Still, Harrison, being Harrison, freaked out. At the next dead ball, he informed the referees of his intention to "(expletive) kill" Bonner.
The official t'ed Harrison up, which teed off Pacers coach Jim O'Brien. O'Brien immediately jerked Harrison from the game.
"You shouldn't get technical fouls if you're David Harrison," O'Brien said later.
All of this happened with about 25 seconds to go in the game. Dispatched to the bench, Harrison continued to stare at Bonner and make menacing gestures while teammate Jamaal Tinsley tried to calm him down (Note to Harrison: When Jamaal Tinsley is the voice of reason in your life, it might be time to re-evaluate things).
Before the final horn sounded, somebody convinced Harrison to return to the locker room where, according to a report in the Indianapolis Star, Harrison took it upon himself to remodel the place.
Bonner being Bonner, he was oblivious to the whole thing. Informed afterward that Harrison had threatened to kill him, Bonner looked shocked.
"You only get a te al for that?" he said. "Will Ferrell got ejected for that in 'Semi-Pro.' "
Sadly, life did not imitate art in this instance. Though it would be fun to see Harrison try and wrestle a bear.
Matt's a wicked awesome guy.Bonner being Bonner, he was oblivious to the whole thing. Informed afterward that Harrison had threatened to kill him, Bonner looked shocked.
"You only get a te al for that?" he said. "Will Ferrell got ejected for that in 'Semi-Pro.' "
:rofl(Note to Harrison: When Jamaal Tinsley is the voice of reason in your life, it might be time to re-evaluate things).
He trashed the visitors locker room? What an ass.
I hope he gets fined by the League in addition to his team suspension.

He should be made to fix the damage himself while on the tv and get a fine from the league
Yeah the union would let that fly..
I guess that helps explains why Obie has been such a success everywhere he's coached
Good job McDonald, give Harrison more cause for his irrational vendetta against Bonner. Luckily, I doubt he'll come across the article.
I don't know about anyone else, but Harrison dude's actions seem kinda creepy. Trashed the lockerroom really? Why is this guy in the NBA? He needs to be heavily medicated.
Bonner. For the love of christ. Grow your beard man. You won't keep getting punkd by these fools if you do.
had harrison came after bonner, he'd be in a hospital by now. they don't call him the red rocket for nuthin.
Usually I'd say Bonner could handle his own but I don't know about Bigfoot Harrison's son.
Harrisson's got that creepy "i'm gonna go ing ape " Ron Artest look in his eyes. Dude's a loose cannon.
Harrison, Artest and Rasheed could make up the All Short Fuse Team
Someone needs to give Harrison a big fattie to calm him down.
come on man Bonner didn't get punkd. Bonner used his Jedi mind on Harrison and dude had a meltdown and got suspended from his team.
I do agree with the beard sentiment, though.
Wait a sec...just came across this for the first time...
Someone threatened to KILL Bonner? Seriously? He used to ride the ing E-train to practice and games! I think he's still working on his pottery merit badge, for christ's sake! He helps old ladies cross the street. The meanest thing about Matt Bonner is his recipe for potato salad!
Matt's a wicked awesome guy.
Not sure if you meant to allude to his New England upbringing....but that was good!
Or should I say....wicked nice.
