No chemistry, Yeah, I said it. To many players are uncertain about what they have to do. boki is struggling finding his role. Antoine took his minutes and now he's inconsistet while last year, he knew what he had to do and did it. Krstic is lost. Magloire wants to start and is adjusting coming off the bench. Boone is lost. DA is learning how to run a Princeton offense and is pretty inconsistent. There's no stability for anyone outside of the Big Three and hell, VC is on and off. It'll just get crazier once Marcus is back.</p>
 
I think its an issue of who's playing with who, but I wouldn't say thats chemistry. I think its just a matter of Lawrence Frank getting his rotation down (I agree with your call on stability). He's said it himself that the first 2 weeks will be about figuring that out. I just don't think its players emotions getting at each other, but more along the lines of x's and o's</p>
 
We're still figuring out rotations and alot of new wrinkles to the offense. I know that sounds like a cop out but it's the major reason behind our lapses. Kidd is going out of his way to try and get others involved almost to a fault at this point and if Boki, Nenad and Allen aren't hitting shots alongside Collins then we're pretty anemic scoring wise. Yet despite all that we were able to make a run tonight. Sean should see more minutes and Frank should finally realise that Boki on Davis is pretty godawful matchup for us. We played Nenad way too long but we're also making no effort to get him involved offensively like we used to where we would start every game with him getting a touch down low and without his contributions on that end his defenseive inabilities due to his knee are magnified. Frank didn't stumble upon a working lineup until the 4th quarter and while we may have lost the game we learned alot about our squad as well as the Celtics and Frank will earn his money next time we face them as he reviews the tape and makes adjustments. The bright side is that we may have stumbled upon of a defensive group that can come in when some of our starters get lax and while it's still a loss it's a major step in the right direction.</p>
