HE BLOGGED IT: On NBA.com, Jazz rookie Morris Almond, who has played in just two games this season and still has yet to score his first NBA point, dish his first NBA assist, pull down his first NBA rebound, make his first NBA steal, block his first NBA shot or even commit his first NBA turnover (though he has already committed his first NBA foul, two in fact): "At Rice when I wouldn't get in the game, I'd have to walk back to my dorm room afterwards, dejected AND broke. At least I get a little scratch for my troubles this time around."

SHE BLOGGED IT: On her husband Andrei's Web site, Jazz wife Masha Kirilenko: "I buy seasonal tickets for myself each season and sit right across Andrei. Not sure if Jerry Sloan likes that ;). So during the game I can talk to Andrei. Well, not really talk but I do read lips and he reads mine."

MISC.: The Jazz tonight will be without backup point guard Jason Hart, who is mourning the death of his maternal grandmother in Los Angeles ... New Jersey center Jason Collins, twin brother of Jazz big man Jarron Collins, came off the bench for the first time this season in Saturday's loss to Miami ... With backup point guard Darrell Armstrong sidelined by a severely bruised right thigh, Weber State product and five-season NBA veteran Eddie Gill — who played this past July on the Jazz's Rocky Mountain Revue summer-league team — signed with New Jersey last week and has played two games for the Nets.
