Thank you Marco

[ElNono]

He gave us a solid 15 mins... made every 3 he took and 2 assists...

For some reason, I haven't seen the Clippers go at him when he's out there, and he's been quietly contributing...

[Mugen]

Solid series so far from the ferrari....props tbh.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Marco had been taking some heat on this forum for not being clutch but I thought he hit some big shots last year in playoffs and has done pretty well this year.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

He was great, made timely shots. First time in a while I'm not mad at him

[testies]

offensive genius

[RD2191]

I said he should start and I got shit on.

[UZER]

Big minutes and shots from him today.

[Robz4000]

Beli stepping up. Hopefully he goes off in Game 6 to help seal it.

[Silver&Black]

Ferrari with the goods tonight....

There was even a long 2 he knocked down that got waived off because of a dumbass Baynes illegal screen.

Keep doing your thing Big Balls.....I see you. :bobo

[Holden_Caulfield]

dude is hitting shots at critical moments just like last season. good shit.

[100%duncan]

2 big 3's. Big shots, big shots.

[Malik Hairston]

He's been a million times better than last year's playoffs, so far..hopefully he keeps it up..

I also like the way Pop has been utilizing him..Marco is best suited for short stints where he can make some shots when the team needs somebody to go off..

[HI-FI]

Ferrari been one of the most consistent Spurs this whole series. calm as shit too when things are going crazy.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Yeoman's duty hitting some crucial shots, tbh.

Spicy meatballs ftw :toast

[Ditty]

Another big road game for Marco!

[Dingle Barry]

I hate on the greaser quite a bit, but he came through tonight. Cheers Belli. :bobo

[kaji157]

Yah, Danny will have a hard time getting minutes if marco discovers that the same body parts he uses on offense can be used on defense.

[gameFACE]

Moving from Ferrari to Lamborghini. Props to Marco.

[100%duncan]

I said he should start and I got shit on.

That's stupid IMHO, Beli is best as a spark plug, replacing Danny in the starting line-up isnt smart imho.

[SpurPadre]

I like that he's calm as Fuck in big moments.

[RD2191]

I wouldn't mind a game 6 start tbh. Green has been trash all series except for tonight.

[100%duncan]

Fuck no, we got this shit already ain't the time to mess things up. DG makes it rain game 6 and you will be all over his balls tbh.

:loland if he continues to brick?

Short stint with maximum effort and focus to overcome some of his weaknesses.

[100%duncan]

:loland if he continues to brick?

You gotta live with it, and appreciate his defense. Said this in the Grizz Portland thread, Tony Allen is one of the best perimeter defenders in the game, he cant shoot for shit yet is a big piece to Memphis. Danny is in more or less the same levels in defense only that when he's not in a slump he's one of the best shooters in the league.

[DesignatedT]

Watching him chase Reddick and Crawford around is pretty painful and he does a pretty horrendous job but the dude is BIG TIME offensively. No fear.

[UZER]

:lol Marco is just stone cold

[crc21209]

Yeah he's been pretty damn good in this series. And I havent really cringed when he comes in, mainly because he's making good decisions on both ends of the court. His 3 to start the 4th was huuge. Big props to Marco :tu

[Nathan89]

Deserved a thank you after he splashed that fade-away at the end of game 2.

Bruh, I know DG is one of the best defenders in the league.:lol I'm just saying a little mix up could catch doc off guard.

[BatManu20]

Belli was huge tonight. I hope he gets more burn in game 6. Say what you want about the guy, but he's got the biggest cojones of anyone on this team not named Tim, tbh.

[100%duncan]

Bruh, I know DG is one of the best defenders in the league.:lol I'm just saying a little mix up could catch doc off guard.

Dont need a mix up when you're up 3-2 and primed to end this shitfest at home imho.

[RD2191]

:lolWell let's hope Green knocks down some 3s, tbh.

[100%duncan]

:lolWell let's hope Green knocks down some 3s, tbh.

Dude is fucking due tbh. He's shooting better ( doesnt say much) on the road than at home.

[timtonymanu]

Yep never been a fan of Beli but he's been fine in this series. He's hitting shots and that's all that matters.

[UZER]

And he's not turning it over

[letmk]

Last year he was great during the regular season but quite bad for playoffs (still hitting a few big shots though). This year he had an up-and-down regular season, but he is much calmer and more confident so far in the first round. Seems he has found his niche in the team, and you can tell that he plants his feet well before those long shots.

[spurraider21]

it also helps that the clippers are by in large terrible at SG/SF

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Clippers are a great matchup for him with Barnes or worse at the 3. We can get away with those 3 guard lineups.

[hater]

Ferrari is on a mission plus he's the most cold blooded spur we have besides Duncan.and Mills

I always knew he would come through. Not a surprise imo

[hater]

While he was on the bench all his teammates were nervous as shit. Ferrari just had this Mafioso stare just waiting to get in

God dam he's a cold mofo

[z0sa]

Yeah, considering his defensive limitations, Marco's played fantastically.

[benefactor]

Shitting on his haters, as predicted.

[Old School 44]

Marco's pump fake, side-step escape dribble is the best in the business. He does it with great patience, balance and control. Impressive.

[spursparker9]

Marco's eyes are damn cold in clutch moment.

He got those psycho killer look in his eye tbh


kawhi's expression can be described as blank.

Macro's is cold :toast

[DJR210]

Hell, didn't Bonner even have a 3 or did I dream that?

[spursparker9]

Hell, didn't Bonner even have a 3 or did I dream that?

Yes Bonner had a 3 in the 3rd quarter with Griffin flying toward him

[baseline bum]

Yeah, Bellinelli was fucking huge last night.

[MateoNeygro]

He absolutely hit some huge shots to keep it close. One three I remember tied us up at 85-85. He was calm, cool and collected and I loved that shit. This whole game I felt like the Spurs were doomed. I felt like everytime the Clippers had the ball they would score and that the Spurs were struggling but they pulled that shit out.

[SAtown]

After seeing only 6 minutes in Game 4, Beli was pretty cold-blooded last night. We need to see more of him during the cold 2nd & 3rd quarter stretches

[DJR210]

Yes Bonner had a 3 in the 3rd quarter with Griffin flying toward him

Cray fucking z

[Beaverfuzz]

I said he should start and I got shit on.

I think we just call that a regular old Tuesday. :bobo

[cjw]

That's stupid IMHO, Beli is best as a spark plug, replacing Danny in the starting line-up isnt smart imho.

If in some strange universe, Doc decided to start his son, I'd be all for Marco starting and have Green / Kawhi stagger a bit more.

[Diego20]

Moving from Ferrari to Lamborghini. Props to Marco.

I would say from FIAT to Alfa Romeo tbh

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Belli is getting back some of that swagger he had with the Bulls.

Marco is on this team for offensive purposes. Period. Folks who get upset with him because he is not a good defender are expecting more from him that what he was brought in to do.

Not only is he cold-blooded as a three point shooter, but he cuts as well or better than anyone else on the team, and he handles the ball well. That is his value to us and he has shone it in these playoff games.

Bingo. It's a tradeoff. In this series, he's given us good offense, and generally little trouble defensively. So you use him. Same against Portland last playoffs.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Bailed that faggot Leonard out last night, that's for sure.
