The Jazz claim they went into last season's first-round NBA playoff series against Sacramento with supreme confidence.

Frankly, they might have had a tough time beating The Supremes.
     
The Kings, consider, had owned the Jazz during the 2001-02 regular season. They won all four games, none closer than a nine-point victory in early April. The other three, blowouts: a 33-point win in late January, a 24-point win two days later, a 26-point win in late February.
