    Matt Harpring, however, counts himself high on the list of those who have been tormented the most.
    "It's very stressful, if you care about your job," the Jazz co-captain said. "I mean, it's the low of the lows. It doesn't get worse than losing 50-some-odd games.
    "It's stressful. There's no other word for it."
    Game days, off days ? Harpring seems to feel the pain around the clock.
    "I mean, you come to practice, and morale is usually down a little bit," he said. "You've got a game, and you know you're not playing for the playoffs, and other teams are."
    Teams like San Antonio, whom the Jazz beat on Wednesday ? a two-point victory that came with plenty of excitement but little satisfaction, since Utah is merely counting the number of games that remain before its regular season concludes Wednesday at Golden State.
    That tally, for the record, is down to four.</div>
