Totally. I had felt it was a huge momentum changer. I don't think I've ever seen anybody want a dunk more in their life than LeBron in that moment. His legacy was on the line if he lost this game. His critics claiming that he was too passive, and he just answered it by slamming it down with massive force. To me it looked like he might have broken his wrist, or at least strained it with that force he slammed it down with. That meant a lot to the team and getting that extra point to make it a two possession deficit completely changed the dynamics of the game.

Remarkable...

No, 2004 Yankess still the worst choke of all time. Worse than the 2007 Patriots though.

We can't ignore that Bogut undoubtably was the main reason for the comback. It wouldve been like if the 2014 Spurs lost Splitter, a very niche player, but very crucial to team success.

No excuses for Curry, though. Terrible showing by him these playoffs.

Btw, this is the second finals that Curry wasn't even the best player on his team. This year he wasn't even the 5th best player on the Court. Lebron, Irving, Klay, Draymond or played better. This guy a regular season player.

You can't definitively prove that Golden State wins Game 5 if Raymond plays. Raymond had the best game of his career tonight and it still wasn't enough.

Curry was probably less than 100%, but even a <100% Curry minus Bogut and a gimpy Iggy should still be better than a team that is playing Dick fuckin' Jefferson 30 minutes per game. No excuses. An all-time great choke.

Yeah it's pretty bad that I don't think they will bounce back from it. They will still be a good regular season team but I don't think they are mentally strong enough to deal with the media fall out from this. I remember after the spurs lost to Miami they had to hear about it everyday for the whole entire '14 season. I remember Manu saying after the Spurs won in '14 that it felt like a knife had been removed from his body and that the pain was finally gone. The Warriors will have this pain forever unless they go on to win another title.

[DAF86]

The best thing about this is that they can go 82-0 the next season, but they won't be able to do all the showboating they did this season, nor talk all the shit they talked. Untill they ring again they can't do shit.

Not at all, LeBron is among the greatest players ever. The Sonics losing to the Nuggets as a 1-seed after being up 2-0 was worse. The Suns chokes to the Rockets in back-to-back years was worse. And the list goes on.

[florige]

The Warriors are obviously unique in what they do, but I hate watching them play. Watching guys like Curry and Thompson jacking up horrible 3 point shots, from almost half court early in the shot clock. I'm sorry that is just bad basketball.


That kinda nonsense is all good when the shots are falling and Klay Thompson is hitting some ridiculous number like 17 for 20 from outside. But when they are shooting air balls and those half court miracles that were falling during the regular season all of the sudden are air balling on the big stage, then this kinda 3-point chug fest looks dumb. They probably lose last year as well had Irving and Love been playing. The Cavs had no business winning 2 games in last years Finals period.

What you might have forgotten: This was all about bad karma. After Game 7, the Boston Globe’s Leigh Montville reported that, in the Lakers' locker room, "there were five cases of unopened champagne. There were eight unopened bags of balloons at the top of the Forum ceiling, and an unsliced victory cake in the Lakers press room." As legend has it, the Celtics took notice of the balloons in the Forum rafters, waiting to be dropped in celebration. Lakers star Jerry West was none too happy about the presumptuous balloons, and his fear that it the premature celebration might tick off the Celtics was confirmed when Russell said to him during pregame warmups, "Those f-— balloons are staying up there."

Which would you RATHER have:

think you are confusing heart-breaking with historic/biggest. we had 3 chances to win the ring with 2 on our home floor, 13 spurs had 2 with both away. losing like the 13' spurs would have been more heartbreaking in the moment bc of how it happened, our death was long and drawn out (and completely perplexing). can't believe i'm fighting against my own team here, but the logic on this is too obvious to not point out.

Both situations are equally as shitty, but the odds say the Warriors produced the bigger choke.

You mean both situations are great positions to be in?

So the question (again) is which situation would you RATHER be in:

2) Up by five (and guy on the line for two free throws) with 28 seconds to go.

Obviously, you'd rather take number two.

I meant blowing the series when having both advantages is equally as shitty heartbreak wise.

But I would take 6 over being a historically great 73-9 team with a 3-1 and then blowing the series, giving Cleveland their first title in 52 years. No one will remember or care about 6 in 20 years aside from obsessed Spur haters like yourself and Culburn. What happened to the Warriors will be forever be immortalized in sports history.

Thats not what I asked.

I said which position would your rather be in.

Would you trade a 3-1 series lead for 5 point lead (and man on line for two) with 28 seconds left. If so, then obviously Spurs are the worst choke in the history of the sport.

^ It was up 4 with a man on the line for two, which he hit one. And I think I'll take 3-1 with two home games and momentum after winning game 4.

What was the Spurs excuse? You got all your guys, a five point lead and a great free throw shooter on the line with 28 seconds.

If Ginobili or Kawhi make both their free throws they win. If they dont give up MULTIPLE offensive rebounds they win.

[da_suns_fan]

They were selling your shit.

He's got a point, actually.

[Silver&Black]

6-1, actually.

And Kawhi and Ginobili both choked. And the entire team choked on defensive glass twice. One rebound or one free throw.

I think you're missing a huge point here. NOBODY here (And I think I speak for the majority of Spurs fans) is saying that the Spurs didn't choke in game 6. I think you're getting the idea that most of us are saying that 6 really wasn't that big of a deal. We chokedPERIOD. It was one of the biggest chokes in NBA history.

I just happen to think that having a 3-1 lead with 2 games at home (a place where they went 39-2 during the regular season) is the bigger choke.

:cry But, but they were missing their 2nd best player in game 5 :cry

Whose fucking fault is that? I guess you're going to blame the Spurs for that one too....

[Silver&Black]

They were selling your shit.

I'm going to bar you from entering my reading room if you keep it up...

[midnightpulp]

That makes zero sense but youre not even trying anymore.

I'll take that as a yield.

Nope. We got closure. GS will never get closure.

It'll always be:

"What if Draymond didn't get suspended?"

[midnightpulp]

They were selling your shit.

You've been continuously salty since State pulled off the biggest choke in NBA history.

It's because 6 is a long forgotten memory and media and fans will forever remember State's collapse. We won't even be a footnote, and it has you snortin'.

[Chillen]

Yes, this is the biggest chokejob in NBA history for sure. 73-9, up 3-1 in NBA finals and they choke it. Previously it was Spurs in game 6 of the 2013 NBA finals, but this sure tops it and it will stay that way for quite awhile. Though LeBron vs the Warriors really after game 4 went in all out GOAT mode. No team could stop that, but a choke is a choke.

Not at all..but it certainly makes it less shocking that they lost considering they didnt have him for game 5. You lose game 6 and it becomes do-or-die for both teams and they always say "anything can happen in a game seven".

Thus the Ginobili/Rebound/Kawhi/Rebound debacle was worse. The Spurs had to screw up on five straight offensive/defensive possessions with the championship on the line.

Looking back at both series, its clearer to me that the Spurs squandered the biggest opportunity.

It is. Biggest choke in NBA history. Every fan and media outlet from California to NY agrees. Only the Massive Dumbshit and Cully think our choke was bigger because of their eternal hatred of the Spurs.

Draymond losing his cool and getting suspended, fully knowing he was on thin ice with NBA officials after the OKC series, is a perfect example of the kind of mental meltdown that defines "choke."

And what's worse, it was an action totally unrelated to the game. Draymond didn't get outhustled for a rebound, miss a FT, etc. It was something he was perfectly capable of controlling.

Like I said, it just makes the Warriors situation exponentially worse.

[hitmanyr2k]

Warriors had the biggest choke of all-time considering the circumstances. 73-9 record, 3-1 lead, arrogant team from top to bottom talking shit in the media. When you have THREE chances to close it out with two of those games at home and still fail with the last game not being able to score a point in the last 5 minutes of the game there's not much more you can say lol.

[baseline bum]

2) 5 point lead and a man on the line to extend to seven with 28 seconds to go. Win and you get the championship.


That never happened.

[Silver&Black]

The Spurs had to screw up on five straight offensive/defensive possessions with the championship on the line.

:pctoss Did you even watch game 7

Warriors didn't score the last 4 1/2 minutes of the game. How many straight possessions is that "with the championship on the line"?

Literally everything you mention about the Spurs choking....the Warriors did it better. Just stop it dude.

Yep. I crunched the numbers. The odds of the Warriors going scoreless for the last 4 and half minutes per the amount of shots they took and who took them was 1500 to 1 :lol

The chain of events during the last 28.2 seconds in game 6 (missed FTs, two straight offensive rebounds, made 3s) had odds of 400 to 1.

What do the numbers say about this?

Game 5 4th Q points: 13
Game 7 4th Q points: 13

What are the chances that the Warriors have their 2 worst 4th quarters the entire season in back to back home games? :lol With the championship on the line

[Mnky]

Thats not what I asked.

I said which position would your rather be in.

Would you trade a 3-1 series lead for 5 point lead (and man on line for two) with 28 seconds left. If so, then obviously Spurs are the worst choke in the history of the sport.

Sorry monospulp. It is what it is.

I would take a 3-1 lead with home court advantage anyday. You're kidding right? Thirty seconds compared to 3 games against an inferior team? The probability in a 3 game cushion is much more likely to work out than having a 2 shot lead.

That being said, the spurs were also the inferior team that year and should have never been in a position to win. The heat had been playing horrible to that point. They should have had that's series locked up before 6. Game 7 was much closer to reality of the teams qualities.

Umm...no.

Choking involves players buckling/caving to the pressure. The anxiety causes them not to be able to perform as they normally would.

Green wasnt under pressure when he screwed up. The game was over. It wasnt the pressure of the situation, it was just his usually temper.

Ginobili and Leonard both choked under pressure. Especially Leonard. You could see it on his face that it was too much for him.

Except defense.

The Cavs only scored four points in the last four minutes themselves. No one besides Kyrie Irving hit a shot in the last four minutes.

Spurs have to have just one good offensive or defensive possession and they blew it 5 times in a row.

[JoeTait75]

I don't even know if what happened to San Antonio in Game 6 even qualifies as a "choke." A five-point lead really isn't all that big, even with under 30 seconds to play. A couple of three-pointers sandwiched around a free throw- that's all it is. Not much. And it isn't as if the Spurs did anything egregious in that stretch. They missed a couple of free throws but there were no awful turnovers, no Nick Anderson-type meltdowns at the line- they failed to grab a couple of rebounds and Miami hit a couple of big shots. Earlier this season the Cavaliers had a four-point lead on the Celtics with ten seconds left and wound up losing when they gave up an and-one, failed to secure the rebound off the missed free throw and Avery Bradley hit a three-pointer at the buzzer. Things like that happen sometimes in basketball.

What doesn't happen is a 73-win team blowing a 3-1 lead while losing its last two games at home. That's almost impossible to comprehend. I'd like to believe the Cavaliers won it more than the Warriors lost it, but when you lose a series like that, under those circumstances, that's a choke for the ages.

[Silver&Black]

:lmao I'm done.

You're just digging the hole deeper and deeper now....basically giving us the ammunition.

:cry The Warriors couldn't overcome that 1 Cleveland FG over the last 4 1/2 minutes.

Youre forgetting both Ginobili and Kawhi missed free throws.

And they gave up offensive rebounds two possessions in a row. I didnt even realize how bad Kawhi choked till reading this from grantland:


The ball found Kawhi Leonard first. He’d been brilliant all series, playing a stretch 4 and bothering LeBron despite battling ongoing discomfort in his left knee. The team’s doctors declared that Leonard’s knee needed rest, but San Antonio needed Leonard’s athleticism too much. He played through pain for the entire playoffs. Later that summer, Erik Spoelstra told me that Miami charted Leonard’s rebounds during those seven games — somehow, he caught every rebound that touched his fingers except for two. This was one of the two. Famous for his gargantuan hands, Leonard couldn’t swing those oversize mitts up fast enough.

As Leonard fumbled for a second chance, Dwyane Wade soared in and tipped the ball away, looking like a cornerback breaking up a touchdown catch. The basketball popped up perfectly, as if an invisible referee threw everyone a jump ball. Leonard, Manu Ginobili and Boris Diaw pursued, all arriving from different directions, all of them practically colliding in air.

not to mention 2014 title and the way it was accomplished took the sting forever from 6.

It was a choke considering the situation. Game 6 of the NBA Finals...30 seconds away from the LOBT....that's got all the makings for a choke. Sure, 5 point leads evaporate in the NBA in waaaay less time than 30 seconds...it's just rarely happens in a NBA Finals game.

I do agree with the 2nd paragraph though. It's almost impossible to comprehend that Warriors choke.

[da_suns_fan]

During that now-fateful timeout with San Antonio up five, Jalen Rose and I watched NBA officials wheel the Larry O’Brien Trophy into the runway to our right. It couldn’t have been farther than 15 feet from us. We watched security guards assume positions around the court, and we watched Heat employees hastily sticking up yellow rope around the courtside seats. Like they were cordoning off a homicide scene. Even after LeBron’s second-gasp 3, I still thought we were going home. Some Heat fans had already trickled out. We watched them leave in disbelief. How could the Basketball Gods reward … that?

After Miller fouled Leonard with 19.4 seconds left, he strolled impassively to the free throw line, with Miami’s rejuvenated crowd suffocating him with boos and screams. I remember thinking, Forget about making these free throws — I wonder if this kid is hitting the rim.

Later:



I declared that no NBA team had ever come closer to winning a title without actually winning a title, which I hoped was true. (It was.)

http://grantland.com/features/nba-finals-game-6-heat-spurs/

Maybe Bill Simmons will come out and say the Warriors were closer to a title than the Spurs were (but I doubt it).

I think Ive proven my point.
