With only one sellout in 21 home games, fans aren't exactly flocking to the Delta Center these days.
Those who do go, though, have ample reason to stay until the bitter end. Because with the way this season's Jazz play, there's no telling when an opponent might rally.
"We let teams get back in the ballgame," coach Jerry Sloan said.
Even in Utah's 106-97 victory over Denver on Monday night, for instance, the Nuggets hung tough for much longer than Jazz teams of seasons past would have ever permitted.
Denver trailed by 12 at halftime and by as many as 14 early in the third quarter, but just more than six minutes later Utah's lead stood at just 3.
"Clearly, we're a different team than we were five years ago," Jazz guard John Stockton said, beckoning back to Utah's NBA Finals glory days.
"But I also think this team has potential to get better as the season goes on," Stockton added. "Where that team was at a plateau and we just stayed on an even keel all year long, this team has to, and will, get better."
With a lineup as young as the one Sloan went with Monday, Utah ? 20-17 overall, and 3-1 in a five-game homestand that ends Wednesday ? can only hope that's the case.
