The more things change, the more things stay the same. Consider this 1987 interview that Karl Malone did with Los Angeles Lakers broadcaster Chick Hearn:
What a great interview. And where can I get those retro warmup pants?
That season the Jazz finished 14-27 on the road and lost to the Lakers in the epic 7-game 1988 Western Conference Semi-Finals. It would take the Jazz another seven seasons before they corrected their road woes and posted a .500+ record away from Salt Lake City in 1994-95. That season the Utah Jazz finished a franchise-best 27-14 on the road including a 15 game road winning streak that lasted from late November to early February.
This season is the eighth-straight losing season on the road for the Jazz, let’s just hope its not another seven seasons before Deron Williams and the Utah Jazz can win away from Salt Lake City.
