Lakers' Turiaf ejected for flagrant foul

Basketball Betting Lines

05/11/2008 - Salt Lake City, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Los Angeles Lakers forward Ronny Turiaf was ejected from Sunday's Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals series with the Utah Jazz for a flagrant foul on Jazz guard Ronnie Price.

Early in the second quarter Price drove towards the basket from the side, and Turiaf moved over to try to block his shot. As Price jumped up towards the net, Turiaf met him in midair, leading with both his arms. The Lakers' forward followed through, and Price slammed against the court, opening up a gash over his right eye that required four stitches.

Price and Turiaf argued for a bit after the play, but were quickly separated. The referees assessed Turiaf with a flagrant 2 foul, drawing an automatic ejection.

The Lakers lead the best-of-seven series, two games to one.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
