--The Jazz could only question how Pau Gasol wasn't called for a loose-ball foul for shoving Mehmet Okur as he grabbed the rebound of Sasha Vujacic's missed three-pointer and dunked with 20.5 seconds left.
"I think he did, but they didn't call it," Okur said. "It was tough, though. It was tough position, and I had a good position for a rebound. He kind of pushed me, so I went forward, and it was so loud I didn't hear anything."
Gasol grabbed two key offensive rebounds in the last two minutes for the Lakers; the other allowed Bryant to find Odom for a dunk. Gasol finished with 21 points and six rebounds.
--Jazz assistant coach Tyrone Corbin is a candidate for the Chicago Bulls' coaching vacancy. The Bulls called Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor on Tuesday to request permission to speak with Corbin, a DePaul product, about the job.
--The Jazz committed 15 turnovers in the first half -- six of their players had two or more -- which was only one shy of the franchise playoff record. The Jazz finished with 19 turnovers for the game.
QUOTE TO NOTE "We can't be demoralized right now. We need to be confident." -- Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko with the team facing a 3-1 deficit.

As the story says, Utah decided to match OK City offer to CJ Miles.

The main question being whether it is trading CJ, or trading players ahead of him.
The NBA team of Oklahoma has signed C.J. Miles to an offer sheet and the Jazz now have seven days to match it. I would definitely like to see Utah sign this kid because I think he has tons of potential and we will really see it come back to haunt us somewhere else.

The Jazz finally trade Jason Hart back to his old stomping grounds the Clippers in exchange for journey-man Brevin Knight. I for one think this is a great trade. Should be a great backup to

I have a strong feeling that Boozer has talked D-Will into living in the sunny state of Miami. I think the lure of the Miami life, (along with no Jerry Sloan, and a huge TV market), that those two are going to be the future of the Heat. I think D-Will knows Carlos is out of here next year no matter what money the

Any of you following the RMR? Kosta Koufos had a double double even though he struggled shooting the ball. Kyrylo Fesenko had a good night with 3 blocks 9 pts and 9 reb (7 on the offensive end).
