There's something about shorthanded teams that puts the Utah Jazz back on their heels.
     After all, it's one thing to lose in November to a Raptor team at full strength. But when Vince Carter, Jerome Williams, Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Curry are out?guys who average more than a combined 100 minutes a night for Toronto?a team like the Jazz is suddenly in the position of favorite
And that adds pressure.
     Or, it might add a false sense of security. Either way, the Jazz weren't at their most effective all game long but still had enough to get by the Raptors, 94-85, Friday night at Air Canada Centre.
     "When a team is missing a star player it puts pressure on you, because everybody thinks you're supposed to win those games," Utah's Karl Malone said.
     It was obvious from the start the Jazz didn't have the same zip they'd had in their last two games, both wins. They did some good things, but they did just as many silly things.
