And the NBA's 2005-06 regular season for coach Jerry Sloan's club gets under way one month from today, Nov. 2 against Dallas at the Delta Center. Will it all be done April 19, yet another disappointing run screeching to a premature conclusion with a third straight postseason spent watching the playoffs from the outside looking in? Such is something everyone from owner Larry H. Miller on down can ponder following an offseason that started quite optimistically ? basketball boss Kevin O'Connor's dramatic June 28 draft-day maneuver to acquire the franchise point guard Utah so desperately coveted seems so long ago, doesn't it? ? but crept to a pessimism-prompting end that seemingly leaves the Jazz with many more questions than answers. That in mind, here are 10 queries to consider for a franchise that made 20 straight postseason appearances through 2003 ? and has not been back since John Stockton retired to the role of Spokane family man and Karl Malone moved on to a life of Lakers and logging: Will Deron Williams start from the start, and if so can the point who produced so much hype at the University of Illinois get the Jazz headed in a better direction than Carlos Arroyo, Raul Lopez, Keith McLeod, Howard Eisley et al did in recent seasons gone south?</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
