I seriously think he was one of the primary targets of Gentry's ire on that angry 3rd quarter timeout for lack of hustle. He and Davis did not get back at all, and both were on the bench after the timeout.

That Jameer pull up three with 23 seconds on the clock doe...

Fair enough, I didn't recall when he went out. I just noticed all of a sudden I hadn't seen him in a while

He does that a lot. Kills me. Has to have learned that in the Denver duck and chuck, but so bad.

Reminder that Moore has 19pts on 70% shooting. He's been phenomenal recently.

Bucks are a scrappy team just like their head coach.

Jesus Boogie you do my head in

How can cousins be that dumb

So rhey call that but not the one against Moore???

How was that not a foul?! Giannis erased Moore's entire body

Boogie = GOAT

Good boogie

Bucks vs Pels in the NBA Finals in a few years. Hey it could happen.

Can we go on a 5 6 game winning streak please

Yes winning rules!

And we beat the 15-10 Bucks. Good games from Boogie and AD, good game from Jrue although 16 points is a little underwhelming. Moore though, 21 points on 8-11, and just buckets of hustle.

Really good win. The next game how we respond is what I wanna see

Good win for the team. They played tough in crunch time

Great win. Great great win. I'm hype.

Man I'm so impressed that Moore has been so consistent, and going it at part of the starters too.

i hated on moore last season... he is killing it

For real, how amazing has he been?! Think we have a Big 4 now! Or wait is Rondo past of the Big __? And Miller is so automatic too, maybe it’s a big 5 or 7 lol. Cunningham was great with his hustle and energy on the glass

Right now Moore is the Pelicans' Clint Capela. He's the roleplayer who has figured out how to play perfectly off his two superstars. He's not actually any more talented than he was -- take him off the Pels and put him on a bad team and he would go right back to invisibility. But offensively he utterly thrives in this environment/system. Some, perhaps even most, credit has to go to the coaches there too.

Credit all round

I don't think this team ever wants to play D though. It's really not going to change after 30 games in

Should be noted the Pels finished with 35 assists. That's a huge number. 8 for Jrue, 7 for Cousins and 7 for Nelson.

This team doesn't do anything halfway. They are either going to be one of the best or one of the worst at everything it seems.

Moore is proving he is very valuable to this team. He has high bbiq, tough defense, he hustles. His 3 point shooting is elite as far as I️ can tell. He is perfect in the starting 5.

And no one had more than 3 turnovers other than Boogie with 9.

He can be a good passer but he my God does he throw some dumb, unforced ones

Nice win Pels!
Moore is playing for MIP award.
Now is Time for Denver rematch! Let's go!

I wonder how much Solo Hill’s return can help restore the defense. Also when Hill comes back, I wonder how they’ll manage he, Moore and Miller’s minutes.

its looking more and more that solomon hill has no future with the team. he may be the 8th guy off the bench. at his salary that is unacceptable.

this is his likely role...

Moore and Miller are neck and neck for MIP.

Yeah and Holiday has been so much better at the 2. He seems to be more confident (knock on wood) being in more of a scoring role.

How did you even come to this conclusion?

Moore would have had a legit shot at MIP if Oladipo wasn't having the season he is having

Unfortunately, I think Hill starts at the 3 when he gets back. I'm not oppose to him playing but I like the current starting lineup but it would be good to have him take Cunningham's spot as the small ball 4 off the bench.

Idk I 5hink they'll bring him back slowly like usual till he's in shape but if in that time he's better coming off the bench I don't think they start him unless it's against someone luke lbj or Durant ya know

Solo strikes me as someone who will need a lot of easing back into the lineup after an extended injury layoff

logjam at position, hill would be the least offensively gifted at the three and unless he plays the 4 some he is over priced and will get little time in the rotation. i hope i am wrong.

Good win for the Pels before the road trip! I also think it would be a good thing with Solo playing the small ball 4 and taking Cunnighams minutes. It is ironic that people were complaining about the lack of depth at the SF position before the season and now people want to trade the one that was supposed to start lol.

That’s a big negative. Solo will fill a huge hole for us giving us another solid perimeter defender at the 3. not to mention allow us to be able to play with other lineups with him at the 4 effectively pushing Dante to the bench. Which is a win in itself

If you record the games watch it again. I watched the play over 10 times now I tend to watch more if we win when we take a L I'm usually to upset to watch over. Boogie got the ball from Rondo at the top of the key. Miller was deep in the corner. Boogie called miller up miller ran to the 45 degree spot on the wings with his hands open for the pass, boogie looked him off and made the decision to drive and then well we know the rest. And no I'm not a boogie hater probably one of his biggest supporters. But I'm not going to make excuses for him or anyone else on the team. Point is nobody was hiding like said earlier and Miller indeed tried to get the ball. Anyway good win despite 21 turnovers.

When is solo coming back?

Moore needs to keep his starting spot when Hill returns, he is best playing off the stars drawing the attention

I think Solo first off the bench spelling Cousins or AD could actually work

Target date is sometime in February

30 games in is NOT too late for the defense to get better. That stuff tends to improve gearing up to the playoffs. We are still sitting pretty.
