MONTALBAN - Chot Reyes is just as lost as most everyone else on what ails TNT early in its campaign in the PBA Philippine Cup.
The Tropang 5G were left flabbergasted after absorbing a 95-81 defeat at the hands of Phoenix - their third straight loss in the season-ending conference.

This franchise is just a month removed from winning the Commissioner's Cup title to add to the Governors' Cup diadem, putting itself in line for a grand slam.
"Well, I wish I had some answer for you, but I myself couldn't figure it out," said a forlorn Reyes as he emerged from the TNT dugout.
"We're not just playing together, there's no connectedness, there's absolutely no chemistry inside, players are playing selfish basketball."
The three straight losses to start a conference was the worst for the TNT franchise since likewise going 0-3 in the 2000 Philippine Cup.
And the situation is not looking any better for the Tropang 5G as they have no less than the San Miguel Beermen for their next opponent this Sunday.
"I don't know how we can compete against San Miguel on Sunday playing this way," said Reyes.
