The loss of my father from pancreatic cancer this past March 20, 2009. Basketball is just a game.
1. WCSF Game 7 vs Mavs... Spurs should have had a 3peat already.
2. 0.4 - hopes dropped after being so high
3. Game 4 WCF 2008 - series should have been tied. Damn you Crawford!

If this is just a joke then, haha good one. If this really happened then what was the point in posting it? You know what the we're talking about when we say "hardest losses of our lives"
dude you. you dont have to be such a .
im so sorry for your loss. i nearly lost my father to prostate cancer just this year but he got the surgery and survived. it happened around the time manu was out for the year and i honestly didnt care about basketball at that point. i just wanted my dad to be ok. again im so sorry.
Agreed.
1 - 0.4, the Fisher shot
2 - game 7 against the Mavs
The good thing is that neither the Lakers or the Mavs won the le after they beat the Spurs.
1. Fisher's 0.4 shot.
2. Manu's Game 7 Foul
Both those plays kept us from 2-Peats. That's what really upsets me. Our Spurs Dynasty always gets criticized because we never 2-Peated. And it's not like because we get fairly beaten man to man. It's because of two very simple and avoidable plays. We can't just be beaten. We have to be very close, just to loose because of one play.
Anyway, Fisher's 0.4 shot was worse in my opinion. I was only 11 years old during that play, so I was a little heartbroken kid when that happened. I cried all night. Manu's fould happened in 2006, and I wasn't watching much basketball then. Fisher's 0.4 shot will always make me cringe whenever I remember it.
Damn Fisher. Lucky ass mother er. I still think he got it off late.
Well, it was the hardest loss of my life. And why would I joke about the loss of my father?
I wasn't saying you were joking about your father's death, but I was questioning whether it actually happened or not considering it was REALLY a Debbie Downer thing to say in this forum when you know no one would compare a death of a close one to a team's loss. Just wondering why you would bring up such a personal thing in a forum that's obviously about less serious situations.
yeah, "The Foul" and .4 are probably 2 of most peoples 3
my third was some game against Utah pre-Duncan, but I don't even remember what year it was anymore. Stockton killed us, god I hated him so, and I think Hornacek hit a clutch 3, that's about all i can remember anymore.
was that the year/game Karl Malone elbowed D-Rob in the throat?
The 1979 loss to the Bullets in game 7 after having a 3-1 lead in the series.
One win away from appearing in the finals. That team had a shot to be the first Spur championship team.
How would you know how sweet a Spurs repeat feels like?
2001
2004
2006
i guess none of us were old enough to remember the Spurs/Bullets series back in the late 70s
I agree, I was just 13 at the time. I was so crushed with that loss, officiating was the biggest concern then, conspiracy talk even. Almost 30yrs later the nba's biggest problem...officiating
He's probably like a Mavs fan, blaming some call or fluke shot and claiming his team champion of a year they weren't a champion.
So sorry to hear that; may he rest in peace
Thank you for putting things in perspective
1) John ing Paxson
2) Mario ing Elie
3) Pick a SPUR for three
W I D E ing O P E N is the culture here.
Man the barkley one hurt, and he goaltended through the rim that game and got away with it. I also remember very sad loses to the damn jazz.
Ive only been a Spurs Fan for 3 or so years so I can only remember two crushing moments:
1. 2008 WCF Game 5 against the lakers. I was so crushed because we were winning by 17 points and at the end we ran out of gas like every other game of that series. I trully saw us repeating that year.
2. 2006 WCSF Game 7 against dallas. Just how dishearting was that foul.
1. Yeah I can still remember watching that series and thinking we were going to the Finals. Tough to swallow after being up 3 - 1.
2. The 1995 team that lost to Houston Rockets was also tough series. I believe we had the best record that year and Robinson was playing out of his mind. Someone had even done a remake of a popular song that year but changed the lyrics for the Spurs team. But Hakeem really put a number on us, as well as the other Rockets, and we lost to them. I was really depressed for more that a week.
3. Derek Fisher's shot with .4. Even though that didnt end the series we just never seemed to recover after that.
1. the 2006 WCSF by faaaaaar. the spurs played so well and that was a damn good team that should have been the 2nd of a 3-peat but the refs/league literally screwed us. it was more painful than .04 because there wasnt a damn thing we could do about it, we had a great team that played with heart but it was simply decided that the spurs were not to move on. tragically screwed.
2. .04 for obvious reasons
3. the '09 Pop/FO meltdown/disaster. the decisions to bench Hill and bowen, and to waive POPS and Malik in favor of keeping and giving enormous minutes to bonner, JV and finley, essentially deciding to eliminate all our youth and defense in favor of once again putting all our hopes in absolutely impotent, slow, flatfooted proven scrubs, which predictably led to a humiliating-and completely unneccessary- first round loss.
Those would be my three except I would have the Fisher shot at #1.
Those bleed to this day like someone just cut me right now..... I watched that whole series, it hurt and we could have won it and D Rob gets his first le!!!!!!! NOPE.
