‘Season of promise’ strikes flat note for struggling Jazz
SALT LAKK CITY (AP) — Al the end of
what was to 1m* Utah's season of promise,
the struggling Jazz instead limp into the
NHA playoffs against the Seattle Super
Sonic s as the Western Conforcnc it’s sixth
place team
Last season, tin* Jazz made it to the
Western Conferent e Finals before losing
to Portland This year. Utah finished 47
if* — the first time the Jazz have won less
than 50 times since 1‘188-HO
The Jazz, an NHA-liost 17-4 m the Delta
Center last season, were 28-1 t this year
- their worst home re< ord since 1085-88
(27 14)
"We went into the season with very
high expel tations." Jazz owner Cirrv 11
Stiller said "I t harm terize it .is an
incredible rollerc oaster ride liven in the
midst ol it. we had really terrific spells
where I thought we were luce k on true k
and then boom, we d i ol lapse ”
Alter harl Malone and John Slot kton
capped Salt lake's hosting of the All-Star
game bv sharing MVP honors, the Jazz,
lost five in a row With a 107-0 t loss at
Denver Man h 22, Utah fell to 411 since
the All Star break, its hopes for repeat
ing as Midwest Division i (lampion shat
tered
"It's Ireen a i lassie < use of jekyll and
Hyde,' said Miller, whose team ended its
regular mm son with a 11(111 loss to low
ly Minnesota
As Utah prepares for Friday 's opening
first-round game in Seattle, it is a team
plagued In' injuries, fatigue, and a some
times abysmal defense that has repeated
ly frittered away double-digit leads
Seattle, which split regular season
games with the Jait i-'i. will have the
home< ourt advantage in the best-of five
series
Unless Utah finally shakes off its
malaise, the Jazz might go on summer
vai.ation enrlv. < oach Jerry Sloan w arns
"We know how great a team Seattle is
and how difficult they are to beat." he
said "It s up to them to pul thumwlves in
a position where they play like they're
capable of playing."
The Jn// slide migfit Im- traced to the
beginning of the season, if not further
hai k to the (llympu Games in Han elona.
when- Malone and Stockton helped the
Dream Team w in gold
Statistically, Malone and Stockton
seem unaffer ted bv their short summer
break Malone is averaging 27 1 points
and 11 l rebounds, i ompared to last
sear's 2H points and 11.2 rebounds
Stor.kton is si oring 15.li (IS H last year)
and still dishing out nil NBA best 12
assists (I t 7 in 1991-92).
But fatigue has taken its toll. Sloan and
Miller insist
'I think they've really been tired
because of their continual basketball
effort.'" the com h said. "It has shown
with the whole team l-ook at the number
of games where we haven't been able to
make the big play or big stop
Miller agrees, saving "some of the edge
has been taken oil for Karl and |ohn
Malone admits his com entration has
lngg»>d at times He has often started slow
Iv. scoring in a flurry late in games when
the |az/ tried to rally from huge deflt its
"You (list go out and play the game."
Malone said "You don't use that as an
esc use
"Nothing." is St cm kton's terse answer
w hen asked if the Olympic s have hurt his
game Still, his t point shooting has
slipiwd from nearly 4 1 percent last year
to 1H percent, and Ins 197 steals going
into Friday's final regular season home
game with (.olden State are far off last
year s .!44
Then there is Mark baton The soul of
Utah's interior defense for a dec nde, the
7-foot-4 c enter underwent knee surgery
in late Oc toiler He had just begun to
return to his intimidating form when a
sprained lower luck put him hack on the
‘V characterize it as an
incredible rollercoaster
ride. Even in the midst of
it, we had really terrific
spells where I thought
we were back on track
and then boom, we'd
collapse.’
Larry H Miller.
Jazz owner
injumd list April 15.
Ht> niturned to action Sunday against
Minnesota, managing just four rebounds
and no points in lt> minutes
In all. baton missed IK games and was
been used sparingly in others, watching
his minutes dip from 25 per game last
season to 17 this year The Jazz signed 12
year veteran big man James Donaldson,
who had been out of the league, after
baton's latest injury
"People now realize hpw important
Mark has been to this franchise.'' Sloan
said. "We struggle without him."
