Jazz Can Break Slow Start Curse | Utah Jazz News

The Utah Jazz are poised for a stronger season with a revamped roster, but history warns them: they’ve started slow for four straight years, averaging just 11 wins in their first 20 games. This year’s goal? Get close to the legendary 17-3 start of Stockton and Malone days — even if that’s not the target, it signals real contender status. The schedule doesn’t help: 12 of their first 20 games are against last year’s playoff teams, including Spurs, Lakers, and Suns. But they do have winnable matchups and play 11 of those games at home. The real test? A brutal 12-game road stretch after the opener. If they can break the slow-start curse early, they’ll prove they’re ready to compete in the West.
