<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A battle of insults was nowhere to be found Monday at the Lakers' practice facility, all one-liners about punters apparently having been used up the last time the Lakers and Clippers played. There were a few entertaining days in late January leading up to Clippers-Lakers Part III, Clipper point guard Marko Jaric calling his team better than the Lakers, a truth he said would be demonstrated "sooner or later," and Laker point guard Chucky Atkins returning fire by calling Jaric the equivalent of the Clippers' punter. The Clippers won the game, 105-89, but the Lakers hold the season series, 2-1, and there were no jabs ahead of the season series' fourth and final game tonight, officially a Laker home game.</div> Source
