PLAYER NOTES
--G Deron Williams led the Jazz with 29 points and 14 assists, serving up early alley-oop dunks to Ronnie Brewer, hitting three three-pointers in the second quarter, and a big 20-footer in the fourth after the Lakers had closed within a point.
--G Kyle Korver hit a three-pointer and a 19-footer as the Jazz's reserves outscored the Lakers' 11-5 to start the fourth quarter. They built a 10-point lead, which Lakers coach Phil Jackson said left his starters exhausted after they tied the game going into overtime.
--F Carlos Boozer was unable to build on his 27-point, 20-rebound effort in Game 3, finishing with 14 points and 12 rebounds Sunday. Boozer went 5-of-15 from the field and missed a critical box-out of Lamar Odom in the final seconds of regulation.
--G Ronnie Price's block of Luke Walton's breakaway lay-up in the fourth quarter was only the ninth block of his three-year NBA career. "It's more than nine, I'm telling you," said Price, who had one other block in the playoffs. "Somebody took some of my blocks away."

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).
