The reality is most, if not all, teams appear to have great chemistry together in the summer. It’s new and exciting and the guys are working/playing together.
Then the season ramps up and starters get worked out and rotations start to form once season starts. Then the personal feelings kick in.
This is why I am very interested to see how Bass mouth figures out the puke rotations/minutes. They legit have 11-12 guys who will be expecting to play. They have 3-4 big time studs who will expect to play 25-30 min per game.

The challenge is keeping that summer chemistry rolling and growing into the season once playing time gets sorted out.
Scheyer has his hands full with that more than Cal did with the platoon team.

Good positive report and JG is a truth teller. I’m more a believer in having great chemistry than most. Truly think it’s a must.
chemistry i feel is mostly made up crap by fans. but there is a difference in how hard you work. some guys think they put in the work. the fact that JG notices a different in the work being put in is a good sign.

Meh. Just once, I'd love for someone, anyone, to say, "They just don't look very good. I'm concerned."

We disagree. Maybe I’m wrong but I think chemistry is huge. Some of the teams I played on had it and it helped. Couldn’t wait to get to practice and the games.

I thinks it breeds confidence and familiarity in each other.

The World Champion Knicks agree with your assessment.

Sounds like Pope is in Dark Pope mode and not playing around with these motha effas. That's what we need.
He embraced the dark side. Unlimited Powa!!!!

As with any good team, you still have to stay away from injuries.
