re: #1 problem with this team IMO

Moore is not a consistent shooter every game, but as a team when he is hitting we tend to feed it, when he’s not we go elsewhere
I’m not trying to be confrontational but is there any evidence supporting this claim?
I’m asking because I tend to agree with the sentiment from an observational standpoint. With that said, it does seem like your conclusion defeats your own argument.

I think the pace gives us more open threes than most teams.
Then at the end of the game when the pace is slowed, we can’t hit shite.

I'm all for seeing any evidence to support what they're saying.
My guess on all of this is a sample size + negativity bias problem.
We watch and live within each game. We tend to remember the negatives more than the positives (see this board). Over time, we lose the forest for the trees. It's why looking at season long (and even year over year) samples is important. It gives us better perspective.
Examples: This team never has and never will play defense under Gentry (they were a top 10 defense in 16/17 and played top 10 defense after Boogie went down. #12 since Favors came back, #8 since Zion came back).

I was mostly using Moore as an illustration of how our synergy in general can work to make the sum greater than just the individual parts.
And the rotation has stabilized more recently, with Gentry keeping guys in at times, perhaps to a fault, but you look earlier in the season and you see where Moore comes out solid against a team like Pho and takes 5 threes, then struggles against Utah only taking 5 shots total and less minutes, gets hot the next game and takes 6 again, hitting 50%. Game against okc he plays good D, gets boards, 2-5 from deep, next game against OKC drops a goose egg. Last 15 games he’s shooting basically 28% from three. 15 before that he was shooting around 40%. Moore seems to have some game to game variance and month to month variance.
