Why is Marco Belinelli playing so much, tbh?..

[Malik Hairston]

- He has been the worst Spur in the playoffs
- He is arguably the worst defensive wing in the league
- He can't play against athleticism
- He has lost confidence and is passing up shots

He's far from the only reason the Spurs are losing, everybody is struggling, but I don't understand how Pop keeps playing him when he hasn't earned any minutes, let alone guarding the 2nd best player in the world for virtually the entire 2nd quarter..

Seriously...where was green?

Still waiting for him to show why he was a good pickup.

CIA Pop with the mindgames tbh. Pop never makes questionable lineup decisions and he turns water into wine.

This!! Pretty sure we have more rings if we filled some of our roster spots in the past with some college American negros

Because Manu had 3 fouls at the beginning of the 2nd quarter.

[mercos]

Green was a mess out there tonight. When he misses his first shot, its generally a bad night for him. He was also fumbling the ball almost every time he touched it. Beli has been no better, but there is no one else to turn to at this point.

[hater]

probably because Green and Manu look like tired dogs out there

[wildchild]

Because Manu had 3 fouls at the beginning of the 2nd quarter.

Yes but why Marco finished the 2nd quarter with Danny and Kawhi on the bench???

Marco played the last 10 minutes of the 2nd quarter...and we know what happened...

I don't understand Pop

[Splits]

Better question is why are we playing zone defense for more than 1 possession?

[smaka]

Kawhi only played 17 minutes, lol

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Green is +1 and stops Westbrook, and he only has 9 minutes of playing time in the first half while Marco has 11. Pop has too much control, FO needs to let an assistant coach have control over subs utions rather than Pop, cause Pop sucks when it comes to rotations during pressure situations.

[hater]

LMAO Manu with 3 fouls already

That's real , though. Anyway we could get rid of Marco?

[Malik Hairston]

These excuses don't make any sense, tbh..

Green had a positive +/- in the first half and he's been great in the playoffs..why would he have a short leash after 1 poor stint, when Belinelli has been terrible for the entire playoffs?..

[objective]

I don't care if manu dropped dead on the bench, there is still no reason for marco to play in the WCF unless it's garbage time

[Raven]

no idea, i can't justify pop for this, no excuses.

[crc21209]

I understand maybe trying to get a scoring spark, but having him guard Durant when Kawhi and/or Diaw were out there at the same time was stupid. If Pop must play him, he should only be defending a slow footed guy like Butler..

[crc21209]

Pop trying to rest guys and bench guys with 2-3 fouls better stop as of Thursday. Now's the time to stop ing around with rotations and play your best players for 38-43 mins tops. This means the starting 5 + Manu and Diaw.

[Boomersgold]

Regular season showing not enough for you? People forget that this is his first season with the Spurs. Chemistry wise, he fits perfectly.
