Belly smelly ?

[Robz4000]

Meh, he picked it up at the end of the 3rd/start of the 4th.

[Johnny RIngo]

God, I hate Hedo. Parker had a huge chokejob in that series as well. Ten years later and he's still choking away championships for the Spurs.

[playblair]

neal haters blind beli lovers will beg for neals offense when beli disappears in playoffs............................

[timtonymanu]

Don't know if it will be that bad, but I'm not expecting Marco to be helpful in the playoffs.

[MI21]

Beli has proven he can hit crucial shots in important regular season games, will see how he goes in the playoffs.

Turkoglu was always a choker, then left the Spurs and whilst in Orlando because clutch as fuck, tbh. Strange.

[HarlemHeat37]

Thankfully, Turkoglu was required to be a key player for the 2004 Spurs, while Belinelli is more of a luxury, tbh..hopefully Pop plays Danny heavy minutes in the playoffs..

[exstatic]

Beli actually did pretty well for Chicago last year.

[ElNono]

:lol can't believe Hedo is still in the league, tbh

agree

although the Ferrari is getting towed to the season finish line, he is known to be clutch in the playoffs (CHI vs cHEAT series)

we'll see how he fares, IMO he'll be needed in certain situations when Gimmicky Green and Mills shit the bed

[DPG21920]

Not only is Beli not a "main" guy/creator, he's proven in the playoffs he can hit big shots. He will have at least one game he wins for the Spurs. Even if he isn't great, it doesn't kill the Spurs, but he will get hot in a couple games.

[HarlemHeat37]

Turkoglu has hit big shots in the playoffs, too, tbh..

[Sybok]

Was it the 2nd or 3rd quarter when Blair fouled out tonight?

[spurraider21]

Signing a Turk was a bad omen tbh. GLad we haven't gone that route again

[Sybok]

The playoffs won't be the 3pt fest that Marco thrives in, not unless the inside game is strong and not unless Tony is healthy and attacking relentlessly.

[DPG21920]

Sure, but the point is he isn't asked to create..he just has to move off the ball, find his spots/spacing and hit his open looks.

[Raven]

turkoglu has always been one of the clutchest players around, even in international games he was shooting clutch shot after clutch shot. His spurs experience just went bad and that's all it is.

thats the spirit :tu

Just waiting for the playoffs so I can really elevate ST to a new level tbh..

yes and of course he doesn't have to defend either..

Amen...most of the eye-candy sigs blend together now but I kept scrolling up and down to see her. Job well done, PB:tu

[Fireball]

Belli will have two or three big playoff moments ... he did it for the Bulls, no reason he suddenly does not have the balls being with the Spurs. Nobody should expect solid contributions night in and night out from him. He is still better than Neal ...

[playbonner15]

Pop intimidates Beli/Hedo that's why they can't do what feels natural for them. You can see they're afraid to make a mistake out there

[Malik Hairston]

Belinelli is a fucking pussy, tbh..

I'm bumping this thread prematurely so he can hopefully prove me wrong, but wow, nigga is moist..

[eric365]

I'm having flashbacks too. Timmy and Tony playing great and a bunch of ole players not hitting theirs shots vs the mavs in the 1st round of the playoff

[Darius McCrary]

Hedo was such crap in that Lakers series. I still remember him refusing to move his planted feet at a pass and letting the pass graze off his fingertips for a turnover.

What a stiff. He should have been a difference maker with that size in that series. Even Horry blew towards the end.

who is she?

[TheGreatYacht]

This dude's been straight ass since the All star break

[td4mvp21]

His career playoff stats are pretty medicore.

[td4mvp21]

Meanwhile Gary Neal having no issues with the Heat :lol

[timtonymanu]

Yep I hope he proves me wrong too.

For a guy that is hyped as a playoff performer, he was the worst player on the floor.

[Mugen]

Beli is a luxury at this point tbh. Kawhi can play 40-42 mins.

I'm really not that worried about Patty/Beli/Green that much, the Mavs showed that they were taking away the 3 no matter what. Once the Mavs have to start addressing Parker and Duncan in the paint, they'll get their shots tbh....

Leonard won't be playing more than 36....

[rasuo214]

Only way Kawhi plays that many minutes is if he's up against Durant or Lebron and they play that many minutes.

[superjames1992]

Belli was pretty clutch in the playoffs at times for Chicago last year, IMO.

[spurs10]

who is she?

Don't know why the other sig of her isn't here, but it's says Karla Spice.

[SupremeGuy]

lol cliff jumpers, almost everyone played like shit and we still won... calm it down, tbh

[Malik Hairston]

lol cliff jumpers, almost everyone played like shit and we still won... calm it down, tbh

So?..he's the worst defensive player on the roster and he hasn't been able to make open jump shots in weeks..

It's a concern, considering Pop's not going to bench him, tbh..

[Raven]

i hate him so much.

[Chinook]

i hate him so much.

Lol we know. Your distain for Beli is like Duncan's bank shot.

[Chinook]

As far as I'm concerned, the playoffs haven't even started yet. No one's really proven anything yet.

[Raven]

Lol we know. Your distain for Beli is like Duncan's bank shot.

you may be surprised but he is only #3 on my "I hate his game list"... :lol

[apalisoc_9]

Still over a month..

Not a huge fan of marco but I can see him hitting a couple of important shots in a close series.

[T Park]

Signing a Turk was a bad omen tbh. GLad we haven't gone that route again

Good thing the Spurs have never signed one.

[benefactor]

As far as I'm concerned, the playoffs haven't even started yet. No one's really proven anything yet.

She is fine as FUCK!!!! WOW.

:lol can't believe Hedo is still in the league, tbh
HEDOesn't-show-up-for-the-Spurs-in-the-clutch Turkoglu is still in the league?

I can't even.

[Expert]

The playoffs won't be the 3pt fest that Marco thrives in, not unless the inside game is strong and not unless Tony is healthy and attacking relentlessly.

This dude knows of that which he speaks.

[Malik Hairston]

Belineli has by far the worst defensive on/off of any rotation Spur in this series, and he somehow has the worst offensive on/off, too:lmao..

[Raven]

hopefully we've seen the last of him.

[Baam]

Belineli has by far the worst defensive on/off of any rotation Spur in this series, and he somehow has the worst offensive on/off, too:lmao..

Buford 0/2 this off season yet people want him to win executive of the year... Go figure...

[ElNono]

Frustrating as fuck... and Pop STILL putting him out there is doubly frustrating... so disappointed in Marco...

I mean, at least in Chicago and NO he would make shots...

[MI21]

Belineli has by far the worst defensive on/off of any rotation Spur in this series, and he somehow has the worst offensive on/off, too:lmao..

:lol

He is the Anti-Bonner at the moment on offense. It's not like he is throwing turnovers or missing a lot of shots, but he is just a curse on both ends at the moment.

Don't know why Pop is playing him over Green, tbh

[Malik Hairston]

I don't have a problem with his offense, he just isn't getting open looks, same with Green..I don't really understand Spurs fans blaming their offense, the Mavs aren't giving either of them any looks, and Parker hasn't been able to get in the lane to create for Green..

He's just so awful defensively, he doesn't understand when to help/stay at home, he's always in the wrong area, he keeps leaving Vince Carter wide open, etc..smh..

[Malik Hairston]

:(..

[MI21]

I fucking hate his "help" defense in transition/broken plays. Run past the penetrating guy while flailing out "towards" the ball.

[Malik Hairston]

Keep his ass on the bench, tbh..

[MI21]

Danny Green offering more in every single facet of the game, even off the dribble :lol

[Malik Hairston]

Man, he's so awful..can he just string a few good performances together, tbh?:lol..

[Darius McCrary]

DG is the LDN, tbh..

[timtonymanu]

But but he hit clutch shots against the Nets :cry
The Ferrari :cry

[Johnny RIngo]

MLE on Belli/Ayres...for a such a respected/knowledgeable front office, they sure fucked up this year

MLE on Belli/Ayres...for a such a respected/knowledgeable front office, they sure fucked up this year

Ya, it's pretty bad that they couldn't even get 1 player that could perform in the playoffs..

I wasn't a Neal fan, but at least he showed up in a number of games during last year's playoff run..

[Johnny RIngo]

Last year's off-season was horrific. Possibly the worst in the Duncan era.

They give a portion of the MLE to Jeff Ayres - a virtual nobody that's played in only 96 games(in his first three years in the NBA - only 40% of all possible games). A 9 mpg scrub who has medical issues(torn ACL in rookie season). He's so bad he couldn't get minutes over Ian Mahinmi in Indiana. Dude has vet min written all over him and SA decides to gift him MLE money.

And Marco Bellineli. A guy who's been a negative impact player his entire career. Someone who's so bad on defense, he completely negates anything he brings on offense. Of all Spur players getting major rotation minutes during this playoff run, Marco was the only one that had an overall negative RAPM during the regular season. The fact that we're missing Neal's presence says a lot about how awful Marco's been.

Spurs go to the Finals and are only seconds away from the championship. Front office decides to reinforce the team for another Finals run by making a lateral move for a player that's possibly WORSE than Neal. All this while ignoring the fact that the team has no backup point, no backup SF, no capable bigs after TD/Tiago/Boris..

[Malik Hairston]

I want to fucking vomit every time this piece of shit steps on the floor, tbh..

One of the most useless signings during my lifetime, tbh..soft-ass fuck boy..

[timtonymanu]

I appreciate Gary Neal a lot more now. At least Neal could shoot. :lol

Nando sounds like a more reliable player at this point

[RD2191]

I disliked Neal, but man, I'd take him back without hesitation over Belinelli, at this point..

[IrisHockey]

:lol he was pretty shitty in Toronto when I watched him play regularly, there's a reason he was benched for Antoine Wright.

[timtonymanu]

:lol he was pretty shitty in Toronto when I watched him play regularly, there's a reason he was benched for Antoine Wright.

I never understood the hype around him. There's nothing impressive about beating the shitty, dysfunctional Nets. :lol

[therealtruth]

There's something about the Spurs that makes the players soft. Beli seemed alot more mentally tough in Chicago.

[Malik Hairston]

He never played for a contender, so we never really saw him in big games, tbh..

[spurraider21]

Belli is afraid to shoot at this point, which kills his entire value :lol. He gets a decent look and pumps every time

[Dingle Barry]

This worthless wop is scared to shoot, is worse off the dribble than Bonner, and is asked to check KD for reasons only pop knows...:lol

[Malik Hairston]

Hating on players for missing shots is one thing, but a "shooter" that is afraid to even attempt a fucking shot?..pathetic..

[ElNono]

Hating on players for missing shots is one thing, but a "shooter" that is afraid to even attempt a fucking shot?..pathetic..

Yeah, I mean he was awful defensively in the Dallas series, but at least he took some shots. In this series, he's just nonexistent.

[Malik Hairston]

Pop typically hates players that pass up shots, too, so I wonder if he's nearing the end of his tolerance..

[Raven]

bump, of the bump him over a cliff type.

[Malik Hairston]

Honestly, I've been shitting on him all season, but he's actually even worse than I thought, tbh..

[timtonymanu]

He's overtaken Errors on my least favorite Spurs this year. That's how bad it's gotten. :lol

[Malik Hairston]

1 year later..ain't shit changed, tbh:lol..

[Floyd Pacquiao]

He's overtaken Errors on my least favorite Spurs this year. That's how bad it's gotten. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Yeah, I still don't like Belinelli. But Parker's play this season as a whole is just as ugly.

[Malik Hairston]

Wow, Belinelli trying to make up for last year's horrible playoff run in 1 game, tbh:lol..hopefully the Spurs don't blow it..
