At her Fleur de Lis boutique in the Gateway mall, Kirilenko is selling an "I [Heart] Kyle" shirt for $29 as well as a pink "Mrs. Korver" tank top for $24.

The shirts arrived a few days ago, in time for the Jazz's home playoff games against Houston.

They are sold alongside a handful of "I [Heart] A.K. 47" T-shirts, but Andrei Kirilenko admitted he already knew which way sales would lean. "I think Kyle is selling way more," he said. "Kyle is a little bit more good looking."

"There's already a Mrs. Kirilenko," added Jessika Brown, a sales associate at the boutique, "and [Korver's] new and everyone loves him. I mean, the fans love him."

Korver was almost embarrassed to hear about the shirts' existence at Saturday's pregame shootaround. "I don't know if I want to talk about this right now," Korver said.

"That's the thing that's so cute about Kyle,'' Brown said. "Any time you're at the game and you see someone with a poster that says, 'I love Kyle' or 'Kiss me, Kyle,' he won't even look in their direction. He's so embarrassed. That's what's so, I think, charming about him."

Brown said they figured Korver would be a good sport when they had the shirts made through a local company. Korver did confirm that he wasn't getting a cut of the sales. "That's messed up," Deron Williams commented.

Reminded that he is the Jazz's highest-paid player, Andrei Kirilenko jokingly said of the Korver shirts: "He is my teammate. He needs to help me make money."

The Jazz report that they have sold more adult Korver jerseys than any player except Williams since his arrival in a Dec. 29 trade from Philadelphia. Korver leads in sales of kids' jerseys, many of which the Jazz note are bought by women.

Late show

All four games in the Jazz-Rockets series have started at 8:30 p.m. locally to accommodate television. So will Tuesday's Game 5 in Houston, with Dallas and New Orleans now scheduled to play that night as well.

"Once thing about it, when it's over, you've got to go to bed," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said. "There's not many places open."

Almond active

Guard Jason Hart was sent home from the pregame shootaround with stomach flu and did not dress for Saturday's game. Rookie Morris Almond took Hart's place on the active roster.

"I'm excited," Almond said. "It's tough J-Hart had to go down - I think he ate a bad burger or something - but I'm looking forward to it. You just basically kind of go with the flow. Things happen like that, so at this point in the season I should expect that."
