thats nice
to see that he is getting closer to Avery Bradley’s minutes…the Celtics 1st rounder from 2009.
He's making up
for going 0-3 from 3PT in their last game against the Magic. I was at the game Wednesday and he just didn’t know when to stop trying to shoot 3’s. Typical Purdue thing…when they’re hot they make it rain. When they’re cold, they don’t know when to stop trying and just drive to the basket. I am excited he’s getting more playing time. Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen are injured and it’s opening up big opportunities for him. JJ got good amount of playing time in that game too and had a nice dunk in the end.
+27
The most telling stat I saw for Moore is the team outscored Orlando while he was in the game by 27. Thats remarkable for a reserve, most of the time teams are just trying to hang in there. The starter Avery was a -13. Should mean more PT for Moore.
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupidity is forever.
Way to play hard...
and represent Purdue well! Boiler Up!
This is from the ESPN reaction
“After watching E’Twaun Moore miss all four shots he put up in a loss to Oklahoma City a couple of weeks back, Celtics coach Doc Rivers opined after the game, “I just wanted one of those freakin’ shots to go in for him.” Yes, Moore was shooting just 23.7 percent (9-of-38) entering Thursday’s game in Orlando and it seemed like all he needed was a couple of shots to fall to give him a little confidence boost. Well, Moore didn’t get one of those freakin’ shots to fall Thursday, he got freakin’ five of them, including all four 3-pointers he put up and a key fourth-quarter driving layup to aid Pierce in spearheading the offensive portion of the comeback (and Moore was no slouch on defense, either). Even as a late second-round draft pick (55th overall), you could see Moore’s potential after watching him hit big shots in training camp and preseason games. Now he’s putting it together in the regular season, and that bodes well for more floor time moving forward. Moore didn’t have an assist Thursday (the offense was running through Pierce), but he didn’t have a turnover either, which is another encouraging sign he values the ball, even as a primary ball handler at the backup point guard spot."
I love the part about defense.
(and Moore was no souch on defense, either)
as Boilermakers everywhere smile with pride.
