Where were you?

[AceProfits]

I would like everybody to answer where were you and what were you doing when these two things happened:

1. Robert Horry hits the three in Game 5..
2. .04 happened...

I will start....

1. I was watching alone in my basement and the whole time I just had a weird feeling that Horry was going to do something special. When that shot went in I jumped so fast that I banged my fist on my ceiling. (Low basment ceiling) I still have a spot on the ceiling and everytime i am watching something and I look up I get a smile on my face.

2. I had to go pickup a puppy that arrived in my town and that was the only time I can go get him. I was driving with my wife listening on the radio, stopped at the destination ran in, and they were watching the game. I watched in utter amazement Duncan hit his shot picked up the puppy and left. I ran back in the car with the radio and told my wife this game is done it would be "impossible to lose and it would be one of the weirdest shots if anything happened" We all know the rest I sat there not talking my wife just looking at me in horror and me holding this puppy. I just looked at the puppy and called him a mush!

Thats right, we were running around in the middle of Medical after they won the title

You would've thought everybody in the arena (besides the abundance of Lakers fans) just found out their Grandma and puppy died, at the same time. It was fucking horrible.

[SAtown]

1) Just moved into my new apartment. I watched it with my roommate and my girlfriend. Somehow, after Horry made that shot, my roommate and I ended up pushing and hugging each other in my bathtub. :smokin

2) I was in the last row of the Plaza level, watching the Lakers run off of the court as soon as that shot went it.

As soon as he made the shot, we started running around the place high fiving and pushing each other. Somehow, we ended up there. :drunk

[Cant_Be_Faded]

1) Hangin out at pimpo's house and spilling my 40 ounce of Old English High Gravity, shattering it across the floor, and mookie was there too

2) At my apartment with my gf, staring at the tv screen in complete dismay.

Old English High Gravity!! Is it possible to cram more drunkness in a 40oz bottle at a price of only $2? Scientists have yet to find a way.

[Borosai]

1. Not sure. I think I was watching the game in my room, eyes glued to the tube. I love watching that replay on YouTube...never gets old.

2. I was playing basketball that night with some friends, and I drove one of them home. I decided to go inside and check the score. When we turned on the T.V., Duncan had just made his shot and everything looked good. When it came time for the Lakers to inbound the ball, I stood under the T.V. (mounted on the wall with an arm) and covered my ears while looking at my friend. When he started saying something like "no way!" I figured the worst had happened. Not a good drive home.

[v2freak]

In my living room both times, screaming!!

[twincam]

1. I was watching the game alone. I was in the comfort of my own home. I held a basketball during the entire game.

2. Of all freakin' nights to do a military exercise. I was on Lackland AFB. We had to "play war" on that particular night (of all nights in the freakin' calendar, it had to be that night). I had no idea who had won, until I ran into some guy and asked him what the out come was. The guy asked, "Are you a Spurs fan?" I answered in excitement, "Yes!". He then replied, "I'm sorry to hear that". That's when I finally got to watch the reply...OMG! I was astonished, yet glad I didn't witness the .4 second shot on live TV.

[midgetonadonkey]

1. I don't remember due to massive amounts of alcohol and THC consumption.
2. See number 1.

[birdy219]

1. In my bedroom ALONE, jumping up and down, screaming and thanking God :elephant ....my husband was in the living room.....telling me that they couldn't hear me.......Smart*** :donkey

2. In my bedroom, Standing in front of the screen pleading ...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! :depressed My husband couldn't believe it either.

Now I watch all the games on league pass WITHOUT him. :p: The strange thing is that I normally watch all the games in my living room; I don't know what urged me to watch from my bedroom those particular nights.

[ALVAREZ6]

1. In my family room celebrating and realizing that the Spurs were gonna take the fuckin thing
2. In my family room, cursing Derek Fisher to hell.

[Horry For 3!]

1. I was on my knees in front of the tv in my room, hoping it goes in then went back to the spurstalk chat room to tell all the haters to fuck off because they were talkin shit bout Horry the whole night


2. I was in my room, celebrating like crazy when Timmy hit that shot over Shaq then when Fisher hit that lucky ass shot over Manu, I was in shock and pissed off. I threw my chair across the room :lol

[conversekid]

1. At home screaming and freaking out my kids
2. in the club section hugging funs after duncan hit the shot. standing in complete shock after fisher hit the shot... felt like being kicked in the gut... the entire sbc center when completely silent... and then muttering of no... no... no way... please no... still stings.

[E20]

1. I was watching it in my living room. It was the playoffs, close game, the type of game where you get really excited and have to take a piss for some reason.

2. I was watching it in my living room. It was the playoffs, close game, the type of the game where you get really excited and have to take a piss for some reason. After the Duncan shot I was yelling and pumping my fist in the air yelling Victory is Imminent, but I never noticed the shot .4, because I was so happy then I was like why are they replaying it 50 times? Then I realized what happend, I skipped school the next day, I couldn't go to sleep as well.

[gameFACE]

1. At my house with my girlfriend and one of my best friends. I was totally pissed off that tim had missed the tip-in at the end of regualtion. But I came alive like a spring and shouted my ass off when the shot went in. I think I kept saying "holy shit" and "holy fuck" over and over.

2. At the game in section 229 (I think). True story - I was couldn't believe Tim's shot. It was a high. But I remember saying "I don't like the .04 on the clock". Sure enough the shot went in and it took me a while to move.

[Melmart1]

1. Babysitting my nephews, one of whom was asleep and trying not to scream too loud so as to wake them up. That's actually how I spent the 2003 finals, only in another state, with another sibling's kids. I think I am getting the raw end of the deals here.

2. At my friend Sophia's house drinking martinis and cursing in disbelief. To add insult to injury, my boyfriend (who had been at the game without me) broke up with me two hours later. :dizzy

[lefty]

1. At home watching game 5 ; 2 days before that game, I bet with a friend (a Pistons fan) that game 5 would be very close and that Horry would score the winning 3 ; true story ; of course, I was drunk when I told him that, but Horry made me look smart ; after that, I teased my friend for WEEKS ( " What did I say about game 5?)" :smokin
Strange things happen : I was pissed off when Timmy missed the potential game winner at hte end of regulation, but if he made it, the Horry shot would have never happened ; I'm pretty sure God listened to me 2 days before the game


2. Could not watch the game that night, so when I checked the score on the internet (Spurs up by one with 0.4 remaining) I was super happy ; after that, I cried like a baby

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

1. in Key West. i remembered Horry shooting that shot and then all of his clutch shots went throguh my head then BANG!

2. cant remember, im a MavsFan lol

[THE SIXTH MAN]

1.After Tim had missed the tip in at the end of regulation, me and some friends said fuck it win or lose we wanted to be at the air port to welcome them back. We got there and there was already a shit load of people there partying it up because Horry had hit that shot. I got there like at 12:00 a.m. and the Spurs didn't get there till like 4:00. When they got there they played a hip hop version of "sweet home Alabama" before Horry made a speech and the place went nuts. Good times.

2.I was at home with my girlfriend and family. When Tim hit that shot everybody was screaming and giving each other high fives. Then Fish hit that shot and we were all standing there in disbelief.

[MarkCuban]

1. closet
2. sending an e-mail to Stern

[T Park]

1. At work tracking the score on the phone, and sitting in disbelief as the phone switched from 93-92 to 95-93.

2. Sitting 15 rows cattycornered from the bench as fisher shot the shot in front of me, then standing there for 30 minutes afterwards, still stunned and sickened.

1) Damn, you missed it on TV!!?!?!


2) Damn, you were there!?!?

[RC's Boss]

1. Drinking Corona's and cheering 2. Drinking Corona's that spilled on the floor when I dropped it after gasping in horror at the event which had just transpired. It's like Tim makes the shot, I'm talking shit to anyone in the house. Then .4 seconds later I'm looking for a hole in my yard to bury my face in!

[Mr Dio]

Jumping up and down @ Kori's with a few other people....I think I sharted.
I think Timvp grabbed my azz!!!!
Had a shot of some Pear Brandy that rocked me pretty damn good.

===
===

On the can thinking "Man this feels so damn good!" and then hearing my girlfriend yell "Oh NO!"
As I ran to the front room trailing some tp she meet me at the doorway and said "I'm Sorry" like it was her fault. Her black eye and swollen lip have since fully healed.

[SAtown]

The funny thing is, after Timmy made his ridiculous shot, all the Lakers fans left. Then Pop called 2 consecutive Timeouts (I believe) so it gave all of us a shit load of time to laugh at them...

[baseline bum]

1. Going nuts and talking shit to the Laker fans in my neighborhood who were cheering every Pistons basket, while I was cheering every Spurs one.

2. At a sportsbook in Mexico, running around like a madman after Tim's shot even though I knew I lost my money (the spread was 3 points). Thankfully, you can drink all night in the bars there, and all the Laker fan in the place could see how pissed off I was and didn't say shit.

[DieMrBond]

1. At work on the other side of the world, watching foxsports and spurstalk unfold. Smiling.

2. At work on the other side of the world, watching foxsports and spurstalk unfold. Cursing.

[gospursgojas]

1. in my bedroom watching with the sound low b/c my wife (gf at the time) was asleep then doing one of those whisper cheers.

2.Living room telling my roomate to shutup b.c after tim hit that shot he said that was to good the Lakers are going to make a shot..... then they did. I was pissed and, no lie, my friend starting crying and went to his bedrooom. He was like 21 at the time :lol

That is sooo fuk'in funny! Unbelievable! :clap

[tiga]

1) in bed watching the game, waiting for a miracle to happen and yelling at my girlfriend that he got the ball from Ginobili... she (half sleeping) asked me: Is Horry that Will Smith guy?

2) numb... behind my pc.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

1. At another house with lots of people. While I was on my Summer vacation. It was really loud, and one of the little kid, Spurs fan sons was on the couch "praying" outloud for the Spurs win, to the side. It was really a great win. My dad and I were amazed by the fact that they opted to go for the three rather than the two.

2. At my apartment alone, following the gamecast. Doing my homework. (oddly enough I had to miss the one game of the series I had lived for!) There were a series of three loud screams within my apartment complex from all around. The first I was assuming was Kobe's clutch shot. I was so excited when I read Tim made the final second shot, and I could hear through my window screams of Loud Laker fans! (in pain) and I was like "Go Timmy!" and I had assumed the Spurs had won the game because I wasn't able to watch live. And then I was wondering if the gamecast was glitchy because it was stuck on 0.4...

Then, the next minute I hear another huge scream from outside, and through the wall of my apartment. And the rest was history.

My roommate a huge Laker fan came back from watching the game, to tell me about it. And then On Saturday we went over to watch game 6 at his bros place. I was never more depressed after swallowing that series :cry .... That is until they played Detroit... :spin

And the Laker Off-seasoned rolled along, vindication! So if anything maybe beating the Spurs in the post-season has an automatic hex for that team when on the biggest stage??

[shelshor]

1. Just stepping out of the shower and hearing the wife going nuts
2. In sec. 206--what a collective gut kick it was

[lefty]

1.My dad and I were amazed by the fact that they opted to go for the three rather than the two.

Well, they opted for the 2, but Wallace made a mistake and left Horry open ; he wasn't going to think twice before launching a 3

[FromWayDowntown]

1. I was with a group of friends at my house watching the game. I just recall seeing Manu trapped in the corner, seeing the pass going to Horry, and thinking immediately -- damn, he did it for us too. I was reluctant to go too crazy, though because of . . . .

2. I was in the SBC Center (at the time) and remember vividly that I nearly fell over the rail on the first row of the upper deck jumping up and down. When I collected myself, my first thought upon looking at the scoreboard was "Why .4? Why couldn't it have been .3" The difference, of course, is huge, because while most of us don't believe that a player can catch and shoot in .4, the NBA does. Had it been .3, the Lakers only hope would have been some sort of variation of the Dwight Howard play. As Phil kept calling his timeouts, I got the sickest feeling in my stomach that something bad was about to happen. And it did. Like so many others, I stood there in disbelief for minutes.

1. Jumping up and down in the living room, screaming with joy, while my friends, who are, for whatever reason, bandwaggoner Pistons fans, sat there in disbelief.
2. At home, staring at the TV, thinking that the Spurs are going to turn this thing around the win the series. I couldn't sleep that night, and spent the next 3 months arguing with Laker fans that it's physically impossible to catch and shoot a turnaround in 0.4.

[slayermin]

1. At home, wondering what Spurs team was going to show up for game five. After the opening tip, I knew the guys were focused and ready to take the game. Once Horry started to get hot, it was like watching a movie. He was making every play and hitting every shot. When Rasheed Wallace left Bob to trap Manu, I thought he's going to hit another one. Great times.

2. With a room full of Laker Fans in Santa Monica. There was only one other Spurs Fan there and we were having a great time watching Laker Fans shit bricks as the Spurs made there comeback. The final possessions were nuts. Kobe hits his jumper and the whole room erupts. Then TD hits his shot and dead silence except for us two. The timeouts made it seem like half an hour before Fisher's BS. After Fisher hit it, the entire room went crazy and I fell to my knees holding my head. I couldn't believe that it counted.

[td4mvp21]

1. At my grandparents house with a bunch of family. We all went nuts when the shot went in (including my grandparents who were jumping up and down and yelling like they were 20).

2. In the gameroom, happy as hell after Tim made the shot. I remember thinking that it was destiny for us to repeat. And then Fisher hit the shot and I didn't sleep at all that night.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Well, they opted for the 2, but Wallace made a mistake and left Horry open ; he wasn't going to think twice before launching a 3
yeah, we got lucky for that mental lapse.

We didn't realize it was a cut play, til' the postgame recap. But yeah. I liked how Larry Brown and Pop were going head to head. I think I remember Larry Brown after the loss. "I didn't think they would for the three."

I would like everybody to answer where were you and what were you doing when these two things happened:

1. Robert Horry hits the three in Game 5..
2. .04 happened...


1)In Kori's living room with my hands over my eyes. :lol
2) I was in town from Houston specifically for the game. I was watching it at my best friends house.
