Road Rockets are an alter ego that needs to be defeated and reconciled! 🥲
The only thing that can explain this is a clear coaching issue. Ime Udoka is not doing a good job getting the team ready for games on the road and when his defensive scheme has been exploited, he has failed to adjust
It’s not so much that they are hitting nearly half their 3a.
It’s that each one is so timely & demoralizing & just crushes us…usually super early…& we spend the whole game trying to (unsuccessfully) fight back. 😮💨
I’m guilty of the higher expectations after our first 25 games as well, but man it seems like Udoka has been lacking regarding adjustments, offense, and rotations. The Houston Chop Shop YouTube has kinda opened my eyes regarding his coaching.
On a macro view, happy that we’re floating around .500 in mid Jan compared to the Silas era and would have been excited if you told me that we’d be in this position in the pre-season.
