Chemistry.

after reading this,

"...here's what one Collins teammate said the other night: "This trade sucks. It really sucks (bleep), man. And it really sucks the way it happened. For all the guy has given this team, they shouldn't have done it this way. I'm not saying the next guy can't help, I'm just saying Twin was a chemistry guy. We have lousy chemistry, and he's the only one who gives us some, so tell me how this makes sense? He's definitely one of those guys who is going to be missed with all the changes we're going to go through." And then, after a long pause, there was this incredulous muttering: "And we're trading him for a guy who was just suspended (for conduct detrimental)?"

it's more obvious than ever that this

is what the nets lack.

it's also what makes a team worth watching, usually.

Do be do be do...

Nope, great title, Pegs.

Not sure who did that, but it was a harmless mistake. If you want the thread title changed, lemme know.


Okay, now on topic...completely agree. You don't know how jealous I am of the Blazers now. I look to watch them as much as possible now (albeit somewhat illegally).

Not only do they have Nate McMillan, a great bunch of young players, and some great "veterans" (Blake, Outlaw, Jones), but they also have a team that plays together, has great chemistry, and knows how to win.

It's not fair. Think we could pull that off in a few years..?

I love the quote, to the point where I sig-ed it. Stuff like this just proves to me that Rod Thorn thinks he's playing fantasy basketball.

So who do we think said the quote? It's really gotta be RJ or Boki. I can't see anyone else saying it unless Sean or Boone's getting uppity, and they seem too young and too new to have a sense of "all the guy has given the team."

But yeah, I bet RJ, just cause I think he's a chemistry guy too, so from his perspective Collins is the only other chemistry guy.
