But after several hours, I realize in fact that it's not.

Me pretty much haha

Spurs lose= I'm fucking grumpy the whole fucking day.

I used to be bad about that. I remember how soul crushing the 2001 Conference Finals loss was. I don't take it as seriously since then, but I still don't like it.

The loses dint bother me like they did as a youngster..but I'll admit, today stung...if the spurs collapse over the next 2/3 games, we can look back to game 4 as the catalyst...oh well, if they can't beat GS..no pt in advancing..

In the past, I would be ready to call in sick to work tomorrow!
Just tough when the Spurs beat themselves which is what happened today!

For me when they lose, I cant wait until the next game begins for them to get back on the winning track!

I called in sick after the Dallas game 7 in 06, the sad thing was I was really sick from that damn loss and it ruined my day and the next as well.

Once the first round beatdown of 2009 happened and the Spurs window was shut for good the losses stopped bothering me. Now I just enjoy the wins and watching Duncan still compete at such a high level.

Some should adapt and just see what you just said is the truth. Last year was special and they had a run outta nowhere! I thought they might have a shot last year when they were hot but when they lost I didn't let it ruin my summer! I gave up expectations a while ago on this team! I get upset when they lose but in reality they are not winning a title this year so I will enjoy the wins like you said as they come. You are correct and have the right attitude.

after the game I cut off all sports and tried to finish off the weekend and realized I was feeling down, at first I didn't understand why it wasn't a bad weekend and I remember being in a good mood most of the weekend until I realized it was all about the Spurs, I had blocked it out but obviously the win on Friday started the weekend off well but the loss well we all know what the loss did.

Nah Lakers were the biggest disappointment in sports history. Very few things would be worse than that.

Last year I think I was over it about 10 minutes after game 6, since the whole season felt like it was being played with house money. I legitimately expected the Spurs to be absolutely destroyed by the compressed lockout schedule and end up a 6-8 seed and never figured anyone would be retarded enough to take Jefferson and the black cloud he brought to the team off Pop's hands. Seeing how badly overmatched OKC was against Miami made it a bit easier too.

We might have won two against Miami at best, but yeah we would have lost. IF we make the next round Memphis will be VERY TOUGH! I would not even bet on that there. We have to beat GS first, I think they can but if not oh well they are what they are and not a title team anymore. If we win Tuesday a bonus! IF NOT oh well we lost. I will not pour my all into this now! If this were 99-07 hell yeah, I would be hurt for days over it, but this is not a title team anymore.

I think the window shut in '07 when the Spurs won the title with a weak team and didn't retool. It would have been a good time to find the next guy to play next to Duncan. Instead the team chose to go with Bonner.

Huh? That 07 team was stacked like hell. Parker/Ginobili/Bowen/Duncan/Oberto/Finley/Barry/Horry was a pretty amazing top 8, and the '08 team would have given Boston a great run had Manu not gotten hurt. 09 was when age really started catching up to everyone; especially Finley and Bruce.

Really I don't anymore. It still pisses me off, after a game like tonight I'll spend the next couple hours intermittently muttering "fuck" under my breath. But those eliminations in '04 and '06 for example, I was sick for months afterwards, fucking existential shit. Glad I'm past that kind of reaction, though the highs of my fandom were much better back then as well. :/

I know I need to let go and care less about the Spurs but I just can't dammit.

Me. Not as bad as I used to be but when we lose it's all I can think about all day until the next game. Nothing was worse than 0.4. Couldn't sleep well until the Lakers lost in the Finals. Same thing in 2006 with Manu's foul. Last year was pretty tough as I'm still upset about that loss, but it wasn't like a debilitating depression like those others, I had learned to tell myself that rich dudes throwing a ball into a hole should have no bearing on my emotional state. But in all honesty, it's still a bummer when they lose.

Lately? Meh. To be honest, the Spurs have been getting embarrassed the last few years in the playoffs (swept by Phoenix, 8'ed by Memphis, backdoor swept by OKC). At this point, I'm just glad to see them competing the way they are. I'm usually over a loss a few minutes after.

I used to be just like you there, they bothered me all summer long and I could not wait till next year after those losses.

I wandered the streets for hours hoping someone would say the wrong thing to me. I eventually went into the woods for several more hours and sat there thinking.

Damn! I just sat in my chair staring at my damn watch for some reason for hours after game 7, not moving hardly and just not talking. I guess thats the way to go about it, but I felt deflated beyond belief after that tease of a series and a comeback in game 7 (even more of a tease). That whole series just teased us and YES the REFS literally lost us a game or two that series. Spurs should have won that one in 6 as POP said after the called off Finleys tech later and said sorry, the irony we lost that game in OT so POP said we won by a point then right? F IN REFS.

I dont usually get pissed during reg. season losses. Playoff losses to a team we are clearly better then? Yeah.. that fucking pisses me off.

holy shit that game. I drove in from Houston for that game. Not smart planning on my end I guess as I didn't get a hotel room the night of the game, so I had to drive back 2.5 hours after that loss. Some serious David Lynch shit happened on that drive back. felt like I lost my sanity and regained it 3-4 times lol

Dude, Super Bowl XXV. One of the shittiest nights I can ever remember. I was in HS but it was the first time I ever saw grown men crying over sports and it just made it worse.
