The last time the Utah Jazz lost five in a row at home was 1982-83. To put that in perspective:
Jerry Sloan was not a Utah Jazz coach. Mark Eaton was a rookie. Thurl Bailey was at North Carolina State about to watch Lorenzo Charles make history. John Stockton was a junior at Gonzaga. Karl Malone was a freshman at Louisiana Tech. Tyrone Corbin was a sophomore at DePaul. Jeff Hornacek was a freshman at Iowa State. Larry H. Miller was just a car dealer. The Jazz had never made the playoffs. Deron Williams, Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, CJ Miles, Ronnie Price, Fes, Gordon Hayward, and Jeremy Evans had not been born yet.
John Elway and Dan Marino were finishing their college careers. Steve Young had one more year at BYU. Ralph Sampson was about to be the #1 pick in the NBA. The Kansas City Royals were good and the New York Yankees were not. Michael Jordan was a sophomore at North Carolina. Len Bias was a freshman at Maryland. Duke had never won an NCAA basketball championship. The Kings were in Kansas City, the Raiders and Rams were in Los Angeles, the Colts in Baltimore, and the football Cardinals in St. Louis. Nobody cringed at the mention of Joe Theismann's leg. Brett Favre was trying to decide if he would return to junior high or not.
Ronald Reagan had not completed his first term yet. Saddam Hussein was our "friend". The Soviet Union was our enemy. The Berlin Wall would still separate West from East for six more years. Apartheid in South Africa would last another 8 years. The World Trade Center was 10 years away from its first attack.
The compact disc was first introduced. Word Perfect 1.0 was introduced. Lotus, Compaq, Symantec, Sun, Adobe, and Labtec are founded. Apple hit $1B for annual personal computer sales.
Eddie Murphy was the biggest star in America. M*A*S*H* was in its last season. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was released. Michael Jackson was black. Roger Waters was still in Pink Floyd. The top ten TV shows were 60 Minutes, Dallas, M*A*S*H*, Magnum PI, Dynasty, Three's Company, Simon & Simon, Falcon Crest, the Love Boat, and The A-Team. The Simpsons were still six years away. Arnold Schwarzenegger had not yet said "I'll Be Back".
I was a senior high school. The Jazz were brutal then, they're brutal now. It's been a long time. You get the point.
