Well, about Moore people just drank the kool-aid and the expectations were just too high. I'm not the bit surprised: he's shooting slightly better than expected, defending slightly worse (it's incredible how often he's out of position), but it'll eventually regress to the mean. Now, some of those threads from those days where people were giving different assessments on Moore should be bumped, just to allow us to know who to take seriously. Still, guys like Moore always have some weeks here and there where they play out of their mind, so maybe we get lucky. But I really hope we get Powe back for the playoffs.
Marbury, I was expecting him to play badly for awhile, hoping that eventually he'd be solid. Marbury was never an All-Star player, only statistically, and he wasn't even close to that in recent seasons, so solid solid and not AS was the correct expectation. I always had doubts if he'd be a better backup PG than House (especially considering how much we need another 3pt shooter in the rotation besides RA and PP) and till now he's been ridiculously bad - he can't shoot, can't defend, can't keep the ball safe, he's willing to pass the ball but he's not being very good doing it. I think there's still some reasons to have hope he can improve, but it's about time.
