Following a recent loss to the Spurs, players like Chris Kaman and Corey Maggette spoke of the need to keep fighting, of their energetic play against the Spurs, of hope in the future for a beat-up team whose starting lineup has become a nightly guessing game.

But Cuttino Mobley, standing in a nearly empty locker room, wasn?t buying it. ?I don't think we mix well together right now," Mobley said. "If the first play doesn't work, we don't know what we're doing. It's not good. At the beginning of season, you knew who was going to close games out and what we were supposed to do. Now, it's like scattered. We need an identity.?

Mobley acknowledged that injuries and undefined roles had left the team devoid of the kind of rhythm and chemistry that builds with a team that plays together every day. ?Us, there?s different guys starting every day,? said Mobley, who also admitted to not feeling ?comfortable? on the court.

Sounding almost envious, he cited the Spurs as a prime example of everything the Clippers are not at the moment.

?The Spurs have chemistry,? Mobley noted. ?If they're not going to Parker, they're going to Ginobili; if not Ginobili, then Duncan. And the other guys fit in.?
