Q: Your thoughts on the teams lack of chemistry? It seems to me that so so-called leader Shabazz is very much like Jerome Dyson was. That team was pulled apart from within and it appears it is happening with this group. <\/p>\n

A: Hi Paul. This comes up a lot, in fact Kevin Nathan and I talked a lot about chemistry on WTIC SportsTalk on Friday. I didn\u2019t cover the Jerome Dyson teams so I can\u2019t speak to that comparison. <\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think this team is being pulled apart from within, though, at least not from what I can see. There are different types of chemistry. One is working together, getting along, etc., and I think this team still has that. The other is the meshing of skill sets, and that\u2019s where I think the problem is. Certain guys do certain things well, others not so well, and it doesn\u2019t quite fit together. For instance, Alex Oriakhi is good at certain things that he may not be able to do with Andre Drummond also on the court. The team likes to run, but guys don\u2019t take and make good shots in transition. Shabazz Napier likes to throw certain types of passes that guys can\u2019t catch. \u2026 And so on. It\u2019s a reason, I suppose, we have seen so many different combinations. This type of chemistry is much harder to fix, but it does happen sometimes. At some point things could just click, fall into place, and the chemistry on the court and bench will look a lot different. But 23 games into the season, it\u2019s getting late to expect that to happen. At Syracuse today, we\u2019ll see. <\/p>\n
