"I love rumors like that," a skeptical Fesenko said. "It reminds of (one about Greek League team) Panathinaikos last year. I didn't even know about that."
So is the latest report true?
"I just learned it from you," he said Wednesday.
Asked if his focus in the offseason will be solely on returning to the NBA, Fesenko — a key figure for the Jazz since they lost Okur, and a restricted free agent this summer — narrowed things even further.
"My whole focus is Game 3 Friday," he said. "I'm not even trying to think about summer.
"Let's keep it simple. Let's win the series, win the next series, win the championship, and then we will talk about it."
HE SAID IT: Boozer, on the Jazz coaching staff: "Our coaches have seen everything in basketball life. They've been around since, I don't even know — when did Christopher Columbus get here? Anyway, they've been around forever, so they've seen things, and whatever they see they're gonna tell us, too."

The best thing for all parties is if Fesenko is in a Jazz uniform next season. But I'm glad that his focus is on Game 3 and not thinking ahead to the summer just yet. His return will likely depend on how he does in these playoffs with Mehmet Okur More..

Nationally the perception is that the win in DEN is attributable to DEN being wacky. Utah is not given much credit for playing extremely well.
