Moore deserves more time but not this late in the season.  Doc already missed his best chances to get Moore in. He did what he could but I agree that it wasn't enough and now Doc can't play him because we have to keep this train rolling into the playoffs.

There probably will be a game before the season ends when we rest one of the big 4 in separate occasions.  When it's Rondos turn he'll get his chance.

He's a second round pick.  Forget being happy with any PT, he should be happy he has a contract at all. 

He needs to shut up.

Moore has a point.
1. guaranteed he would we playing more  in a system like the Spurs.
2. he would be playing over Dooling in almost any other NBA team.


I don't think either of these things are true.  In all but one game, he has not looked like an NBA player.  He has struggled to get his shot off against any defense, and is not a strong defensive player or PG.

On the Spurs, he wouldn't see the floor either, because they would have about 5 guys in front of him. 

As for being better than Dooling...well, I won't get into that argument, since I know I think more of Dooling than most people on this site.  But since Dooling isn't in the rotation either right now, it doesn't really matter.

Moore is at best a borderline NBA player.

I dont think this is true either.. You put Moore on the Spurs bench and he gets buried. Moore hasnt proven that he is worthy of playing for a contender. I dont even think he would be getting big minutes on the Wizards or the Bobcats currently. I hope he is working hard and makes the most of his opportunities but he should try to be more cautious about what he says to the media.
Moore didn’t get a chance to prove himself.
while Dooling, sucked for almost entire season before showing little signs of positive production.

Exactly he should be happy soaking up everything he can from the HOFs

Moore stuck with an NBA team the entire season. That is a success. There are so many guys who could fill his role at the end of the bench -- guys who can look good a game or 2 while underwhelming the majority of the time. Borderline guys.

That's my view at least.

The point is that Moore would've been buried on the SPurs bench behind Danny Green, Ginobli, and S-Jax.

Green was a second round pick, but he got a chance to show he can play.

I like that's he's competitive and wants to play. It's better for all involved to keep it to yourself though.

I don't agree with the talk that he's a scrub though. He's a hard worker with game. In the little court time we've seen he has impressed me more than JJ has.

Can't blame him, I'm sure he lights it up in practice while Avery is the brickmaster. From his prospective it can't make much sense.

I agree.  But not only does Doc have a solid three-guard rotation set for the playoffs, but he's got two or three possible backups ahead of EM at this point. I don't expect him to be activated or see a minute on the court in the post-season, so I can understand Doc's triage going against Moore this year.

He also sounds like a rookie who hasn't quite got his PR spin game up to the pro level yet.

Would anybody rather have Moore say "Oh Gee, Al....I'm just happy to be here".  ????????

This is pure and simple speculation on your part and given the fact that Bradley is playing, playing well and shooting well and that Doc always said Bradley showed himself to be a very good shooter in practice, probably the opposite of what has happened.

I liked Moore's game earlier in the season but he has no right to gripe about anything as a second round rook/
