Belinelli also hit a huge shot against OKC in G6. Not to mention his response to every Ray Allen shot back in G1.
Say what you want about the dude, but he has a pair of y meatballs.
After watching all the games over again. I looked for the one play that changed the series for the Spurs. Games 1 & 2 had nothing in the way of series changing plays. But game 3!!! The Spurs jumped on the Heat early and got a big lead. In the third quarter, the Heat were making a solid run and had the Spurs lead down to 7 and were played hard on D. A the 1:37 mark, with 2 seconds left on the shot clock, Marco Belinelli slipped screen and got a wide open 3. Put the Spurs up by 10 and the Heat began to wilt. At the time it was not that important looking, but overall, it began the Spurs run that took game 3 and set the stage for the next 2 games.

Yes, that shot stopped that run. Bellinelli has good reason to go in tears about winning the championship.
He definitely contributed to the championship and his performance in the regular reason help the Spurs to keep everybody's minutes down for the playoffs.
the most overhyped shot of all time already... People are really desperate to find a way to make Beli look good...
That was indeed a huge play. Of course it's not easy to find huge plays in the Finals with the way the Spurs beat down the Heat...
Another huge play by a roleplayer: CoJo dunk on Ibaka. Just deflating the myth.
That was a huge 3, right after he missed a point blank layup which fired up the Heat crowd and gave them a quick transition bucket.
Undoing the damage you just did is not a hero, it's doing your job. I'm happy as he hit it but come on now.
That was a Huge shot....a miss and a Miami score would've been scary....we needed a bucket and he got it
Perhaps, but could you imagine Bonner taking that shot?![]()
Bonner did have one in Game Six against OKC as well.

Before I opened this thread I said out loud it was the Belinelli 3. Glad to see we agree.
Manu alone hit plenty of timely 3s that were bigger...
I really feel that Josephs dunk turned it around for the Spurs. Seems like when he did that the rest of the teams testicles dropped. Ever since that dunk against OKC , the Spurs played much better and aggressive.
Splitter's block and Patty's 3 tbh
Beli's shot was huge in that 3rd quarter. You could feel the team becoming more and more unsettled as Miami picked it up defensively.
please as bad as belli is defensively, theres only a handful of guys who would make that shot in pressure situation, game 3 of the nba finals, heat making a huge comeback and the crowd was going nuts
this dude is a clutch mofo, this we know even though he struggled for most of the POs, but he hit his fair share of clutch shots
i don't know about the most important play that tipped the series
but after the manu dunk in game 5, i knew the chip was ours.
He was pretty bad in these playoffs. No coincidence that the only game the Heat won was the one where he played 20+ minutes. In games 3-5, he averaged 6 minutes per game...Spurs destroyed the Heat those three games.
His only value is getting Manu rest in the regular season. As far as playoff basketball is concerned - he's practically worthless. Nice reg season player I guess.
people stop it, it's disgraceful to you all.
CoJo's dunk in the pevious series!
It made us unsoft...uhm hard!
Common but incorrect take. A new player in the Spurs system will underperform their first year in the playoffs. We even saw that for two years with Splitter since he barely played year one.Not sure Belli will ever be an average defender but he will improve next playoffs.
Ginobili dunk was the nail in the coffin and his three that followed was the last shovel of dirt.
i knew exactly what u were talking about before i entered the thread. that's the shot i tell everyone about. they had cut it to 7 and after that, it was over the rest of the series.
