From 4-1 to 4-4, we've been on a loss streak and we all know it. Though there have been exceptions here and there, for the most part the team has looked rough. Shot selection has been horrible, we've been giving up rebounds at a rapid pace, and as a result the defense is getting shredded on second chance points and in transition. There's a lot of low hanging fruit to fix, but it seems like right now we have neither the drive nor the personnel to fix it.
Houston are also playing well at the moment. This is not going to be an easy game.
The positive side - at least to some extent - is that Zion has been upgraded from OUT for personal reasons to questionable, and Naji has been upgraded from OUT to doubtful. So at least we're seeing some progress on getting guys back, even if they may not be back tonight necessarily.
Let's find out if they guys can start putting their ducks in a row.
