Pop doesn't think so. He's the expert, not you.
It's one thing to have him in as the fourth wing like in the Suns game. It's another entirely to have him check the best wing on the other side while leaving on the bench the player most responsible for forcing Iggy into a poor shooting night before that. I agree with the folks saying he's testing Belinelli
I don't know if he's passing so far.
Pop wanted kawhi on Thompson. Parker can't gaurd Andre, too small. Simple as that.
What about Danny Green, tbh?
I'm impressed with Belli's defense so far, unlike what others say. He moves his feet well and is big enough to guard the 3.
People around here act like Neal didn't take charges, get steals or have occasional good defensive sequences too. Neal just didn't have threads dedicated to his defense stops because nobody really cared. For some reason, posters need to point out every time Belinelli does something right on the defensive end by starting joke threads just so they can throw Neal under the bus. Posters can continue to lie to themselves but that isn't going to change the fact that Belinelli's defense isn't any better than Neal's.
BELI WITH IT!!!!
Beli's 1-on-1 defence was surprisingly good tonight, and his defence has not been bad enough to be remarkable in any of the earlier games this season.
Neal with it.
He did it to test Marco and see if he'd be up for the task. Just looking at personnel but honestly Pop was trying to lose the game. Oh and the defense he played was awful. He basically let Iggy get past him in hopes that Tim would bail him out. Luckily, it worked this time.
Marco with another stellar defensive play on that fastbreak per par............
Marco = Class A player
Neal = Class B player
it's that simple
