Losing to the better team on the road = choke?

No


If we lose after being up 16+ would be the only scenario we would choke

This. Losing in a game 7 on the road as a 7 seed with this abomination of a roster would not be choking, it’s a job well done by the players and coaches to get even this far. Denver would be choking by losing to a 7 seed tbh after the year they’ve had

Of course they'll choke, but they already did when they faied to go up 3-0 or 3-1.

Also, CP3 is pretty close to his annual hamstring deadline and the Rockets are due to chucking day, when they shoot absurd amounts of 3s and miss them.

You don't get it. If a 7 seed loses to a 2 seed, it's expected. They're SUPPOSED to lose, and almost always do. Only the 2 seed can actually choke.

Don't need to worry about choking

NBA refs ain't gonna let Spurs win unless they have a monster game that outstrips the Zebras ability to choke on their whistles
Even last game at home they were calling phantom shit left and right on White and Poetl and Forbes whilst the Thuggets were crashing into everyone without a foul in sight.Shit was laughable
That play where Craig stole the ball by mugging Gay right in front of the refs...
Milsap was straight out fouling even twice on a ton of drives to the basket.
And let's not forget that late beyond late whistle after White caused a Thuggets turnover that was leading to a Spurs fast break.That was shady
Look for the usual if the Spurs start to pull away.
Spurs get up 10+ and look for BS fouls on Poetl,White and Forbes anything to make Pop sub Patty/Marco.

Either that or look for early foul trouble for Lamarcus and Demar. I'm leaning towards this as White and Co got the treatment last game

Maybe maybe not. But that's not the spirit of OP's post. He clearly meant something else not losing after you are up 20 pts. He was just trolling us.

Again, overall, at the end of the game, if the Spurs lose whether they were up or down, it won't be choking, on the road, against a 2nd seed.

04-27-2019, 12:44 PM
It's not choke if DeRozan turns the ball over 7 times in a row, that's the plan and likely result

What?!

The Rockets are gonna be in cap hell soon with that terrible CP3 contract, but in no way does there back-to-back title runs from the 1990's have anything to do with it.

Harden/Paul being choking dogs, again, and Darryl Morey's poor team building are to blame.

Having to resort to moving your undersized, sixth man to the starting lineup (at SF no less) told you they weren't long for the playoffs.


Harden's season - long "hero balling" and offensive output covered up a lot of the mess that is their roster, right now.
Everyone will just blame Harden (a few will criticize CP3), yet is Morey ever, ever gonna have his feet to the fire?

You have no idea what "choking" in bball means.

Spurs lost a gm7 on the road against a team that was playing better basketball all year long.

A gm7 that Nuggets were favored to win by 7+.

Rockets lost an elimination gm6,with the best player of the other team injured,on their own home court while being a heavy 7pts favorite.

THAT is choking.

The stupid stuff you want to tell yourself. SMH

Spurs had two all stars who have been around and should've been hungry to put away these paper tigers. To say nothing of a GOAT nominee coach and guard with a championship pedigree in the mix.

They choked in Game 4 and then again in Game 7. They were not the underdogs. They were ahead for a reason.

Spurs were ahead cause the Nuggets were inexperinced,young and green.

The experience factor went away from the moment we lost the home game.

Then the "paper tigers" realized that they are the #2 seed and we were the 7 seed.If we choked in the series it was at gm2 when we were up by 20 twice and didn't finish them.

In game 7 we played a terrible,horrible game and if someone attempted a choke job it was the Nuggets who allowed the Spurs to cut it to 2 positions in the 4th.

We had two all stars-one from the East though,who didn't make the All star THIS year.They had one all star in Jokic.

Their all star played better throughout the 7 games than ours.They were better at game7.We lost.It's as simple as that.

You tell yourself BS. Nuggets were the two seed, and the effective WCF was still scheduled as Warriors/Rockets. Even with Durant out, they won't be favorites. The two seed stuff is cosmetic other than it's given them an extra valuable home game that they needed to beat the Spurs/Blazers in seven games.

The experience factor never went away. They were on their heels and the Spurs let them off the hook twice. Just call a choke a choke, bruh, instead of trying to make the Nuggets out to be some great team. They're akin to an overvalued 5 seed in March Madness getting some luck and making a deep run. They're not real contenders; they never were/are.

Who the fuck cares if the Rockets and the Warriors were the two best teams? Who the fuck cares if Denver is not the favorite with Durant out?

You think there is a possible comparison between the Curry Dubs and the '19 Spurs? Were you dropped on your head as a child?

We had ONE point guard,ZERO small forwards and terrible defense ALL.YEAR.LONG.

We were 7th tied to 8 for a reason.We were simply not that good.Good enough to make the playoffs.Experienced enough to put up a fight and catch them off guard and steal the series.We'd give Portland a run for their money as well.We were underdogs against Denver,we'd be underdogs against Portland.Those are facts.

The fact that Nuggets are not contenders is irrelevant.They were better than us.In comparison to us they played better November to April.So we didn't choke.

If your poor,narrow,basketball mind can't understand those facts go watch ping pong or something.

And no way in hell CP3 turns down that $44M the following year either.

Both teams fucking choked. We could combine LMA/DD and CP3/Harden and they still wouldn't make it past the Dubs. They're all a bunch of choking faggots.

Game 4 should've been won.Our floor,our house,we lead 2-1,we take that one,go up 3-1 and they fold.

Game 7,as all game 7s should be a toss up and a dog fight.We absolutely sucked.But i had zero expectations at that point.I just didn't expect that it would be that terrible of a game on our part.I certainly expected us to lose though.

If this was a thread about game 4,by all means,let the chokejob narrative explode.
But a dude warned us that we would choke on game 7 like we were playing in San Antonio and Nuggets had injury problems.We didn't.They were healthy.

Rockets choked.In '17,in '18,in '19.Those were choke jobs by professional choke artists.

Good that you're conceding that the series was ultimately a choke; but you're still rationalizing to make yourself feel better on Game 7.

It was a "toss-up" in name only. Nuggets were prepared to hand us that game. We did not take it.

"In sports, a choke is the failure of a sportsperson or team in a game in a situation where maintaining their performance is highly important.[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_(sports)#cite_note-1) This can occur in a game or tournament that they are strongly favored to win, or in an instance where they have a large lead that they squander in the late stages of the event. It can also refer to repeated failures in the same event, or simply infer an unexpected failure when the event is more important than usual."

The Nuggets shat the bed in Game 7. Spurs should've finished them off.

If you want to give your own personal interpretation in words and meanings,completely separate and not in agreement with the meaning the entire planet has given to those words,it's fine.

I'll just accept you for the uneducated,ignorant prick that you are and not waste another second on your opinion.

Whatever you say.If we can't agree on the principal meaning of an action what's the point in conversing about it?

Apparently in your vocabulary choking equals losing.Everytime we lose,we choke.

In mine it means something else.You can lose without choking.

You think we choked,i think we played a bad game and lost.

And i will never EVER give the Spurs a pass cause i am neither a homer nor blind.

I don't accept your neanderthal definition if you want to try and break it down to that.

The Spurs failed to beat a team that was playing at a lackluster level in a Game 7. If that's not a choke, then I don't know what is.

They were playing at a lackluster level and we played on a level below that.That's what it is.

But i've seen the Spurs play at that awful level on the road so many damn times this year that it didn't surprise me one bit.

Two teams playing awful basketball.One team won and the other one lost.

We most certainly had the chance to take the game and series.Cause they choked in the end of game 7.We didn't capitalize on that chance.

You want to call it a neanderthal definition,be my guest.I call it being a pragmatist and a realist.

remember you're talking to a guy who thought NBA player meant Jimmer, so obviously definitions are something he struggles with

:lol OF COURSE choke means lose a situation you are expected to win. how retarded do you have to be thinking any loss you had a possibility to win is a choke?

The only thing i'm coming to terms with is your inability to understand basic concepts.

He's an idiot, man. One of the lowest BBIQ fans on this board, so no point in going "back and forth" with him.

I know it's difficult but always use this advise on Spurstalk:


Literally a person from a distance just sees two people arguing, and not who is right or wrong. The wise man Jay is referring to is probably Mark Twain. Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.
