Personally, I didn't think Moon played that badly. He hit some open jumpers, and was crashing the class fairly consistently.

I agree with Kingr, Moon is playing some good ball. Just monitor his minutes so he does not get burnt out. I think the Dunk competition will be a great place for him to gain confidence and will hopefully carry over into the second half of the season.

1 thing I have noticed is that the Delfino - Kapono combo on the court at the same time is really good. Anyone else think that moving both AP and Moon to the second unit in favor of Del'Pono wings to start may have some benefits?

As for lineup changes I see the following working with the hold up being managements desire to get Bosh and Bargs clicking together.

Starting 5:

Rasho - Bosh - Kapono - Delfino - TJ
Kapono is the primary option, Bosh secondary, Delfino and TJ drive and kick to Kapono, Delfino swing pass to Kapono, Bosh saves energy for 4th q, Rasho and Bosh D offsets Kapono's weakness on the drive.

Bench:
Bargs (in for Rasho with Bosh) - Moon - AP - Jose - Humphies

Overall, balanced on both ends of the court. Hump's rebounding energy and Moon's athleticism offset Bargs' rebounding weaknesses. AP provides leadership intangibles to the second unit.

Moon 45.5% FG
Bargnani 39.4% FG

Bargs ranks 3rd on the team in shots per minute, Moon ranks 13th on the team in shots per minute.

Hopefully somebody gets my point here. :-?
