HOWEVER, if you're going to call that, you better sure as shit call the OBVIOUS hack on Duncan on his putback attempt at the end of regulation. If you're calling one, you've got to call the other as well. They didn't and the Spurs eventually ran out of gas in overtime. It was like the league was doing everything in their power to not have the Spurs in the finals.

You telling me man, GOT DAMN this game bro........ I agree with everything you just said. A Magazine I got for Fantasy the following year even mentioned the Spurs might have advanced if some bad calls were not made, that made me grit my teeth even more after the fact because everyone saw it and noticed it except Mavs fans who bitched later about the Heat series and calls! I called that JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:hat

I didn't lose sanity, I was just a veggie on that chair for an hour afterwards and could not move hardly! I am glad I did not have to drive though man! DAMN I can't imagine being on the road then for that drive home as far as you had to travel! I probably would have gotten pulled over a few times lol. I am glad I was here in my chair, could not get arrested and nobody saw me, just me and the watch on my wrist and this blank stare for hours.

After Game 7 2006 I stayed on SpursTalk for a while trying to process everything. I just kept staring at a thread called "This one hurts." It was even worse for me because my dad had died exactly a month before and I was using the Spurs as a way to distract me from the pain. I didnt get over it until I witnessed the Mavs choke their way out of a championship. That made it a little better. The best part of that was that we won it all the next year.

it def ruins my day, but when i was younger i remember tearing up at big losses lol

now it's just like "maaayynne fuck this"

i feel this way too. i've been saying this since 07 i guess but i really just want one more. one more for tim to put him over the top. in that rare category. one more so we can move on as a franchise to the next phase. i tell myself once this happens i can relax and not get so wrapped up in every damn game. i can actually just enjoy the subsequent seasons for what they are win or lose.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds the Warriors to be annoying. Hopefully we'll pull this series off, but I think we'll get pounded out by Memphis. If OKC gets by the Grizz, we'll beat them.

It doesn't seem to matter where I am, I take the games probably to personally.

Reading the posts in here make me feel good that I'm not alone in overreacting to Spurs losses.

I'm lucky if nothing gets broken. I'm miserble the day after and wish I could fast foward to the next game. And would definetly kill a referee if I could find one.

It hurts more than a breakup. No joke

It frustrates me, depending on the circumstances, but generally I'm over it within 24 hours. The 2006 loss to the Mavs was the last time I felt somewhat emotionally devastated by a loss, and last year's Game 6 was just sickening to watch. More and more, I've realized that I watch the Spurs due to an ingrained loyalty from my childhood, but at the end of the day, it's just a game that a bunch of millionaires play for our entertainment.

Well the term "fan" is short for fanatic so that about sums up how many of us feel about our team.

Im a very competive person, so when they lose..especially in the playoffs I get pissed. Ruins my next day.

in all my years of experience. you take a loss a lot better if you take your homer glasses off.

that is why I have had mine off for for the last 2-3 seasons.

Coming into this series I knew it was going at least 6 games. After game 2 I knew it could go either way. Coming into game 5 Spurs are favorites, but not by much. And it doesn't really matter, cause Spurs will get bounced in the next series or finals.

I am leaning towards a spurs win today, but would not be surprised if Warriors win. Even then, I don't see series over. Still counting on Warriors youth to do them in sooner or later.

I've mellowed out. Having kids does that to a man. But 1995 loss to Houston Rockets sent me to a mild bout of depression for about a week. Even broke up with my gf as she kept wanting to talk about it and couldn't understand why I was upset.

but instead you drown your sorrows in a box of bearclaws, amirite?

It feels pretty shitty because :
A/ I can't help but feel sad for Duncan who deserves one last chance to play the Finals
B/ I wake up badly exhausted the next day due to lack of sleep (the game ends around 5 or 6am)

As a result, playoffs wins on Sunday afternoon (US local time) are the best combination for us Euro fans

Best therapy I've found after a spurs loss is to go for a run. Time zone dependent of course.
