As if they hadn't already proved Reggie Miller correct with their constant bickering, two Pacers went at it again this week. Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson took an on-court disagreement to the bench with them in a game against the Atlanta Hawks. Teammates had to break up the argument, as people in the area and the Pacers coaches took notice of the dispute.
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle won't read much into the incident, but with these Pacers it's nothing new.
''My position on it is that I support the players,'' Carlisle said. ``There was a disagreement there. It manifested itself probably a little bit too much. After it happened we really bounced back and played really well. I don't want to overstate what did or did not happen. There was some frustration there.''
