    Our chemistry is off after all the new additions, also some guys that were important in our team flow are now out of the rotation, particularly Canaan and Pappa, both were important to how our team worked and both added a particular skillset that is now missing.

    Offensive skillset, Isaiah with his shot making and dribbling abilities and Pappa with his excellent movement off tha ball and creative passing.

    Got to find our new balance.

    I don't think it's a chemistry issue more than a practice issue and a lack of a floor general other than Harden issue.

    Isaiah Canaan would help with the 2nd part, he is the penetrating ball handling guard that we are missing.

    We need to have a better mix of young and old, Terry should be the 9th or 10th man, the old vet you run out there when you need a 3 - not the backup PG.

    Well, I certainly did not count on the starters pouting, and not playing.

    This is really disappointing, seems something is bothering them big time.

    It is a serious lack of effort, like they just don't care....

    This team won't make the playoffs if Josh Smith stays.

    Will never be the favorite until you get out of the first round.

    We need a real HC; McHale is not a coach, no even close!
