Hmm, I'll have to think about it...
Summer of '84/constant flirting with disaster culminating on a Tuesday nite in Boston in June.
We were finally put out of our misery.
All the championships afore, and all the championships to come, that Summer of shame is the most prominent stain.
0.4
Ginobili's foul
Could've had a 5-peat man...![]()
Cue Ghazi in 3...2...1
Game 7 of the 2000 wcf... watching the implosion as the only blazer fan in a room full of purple and gold put me in a place that only kurt cobains last moments could relate to.. then kobe to shaq and I knew it was over.
Wade's shoulder injury.
Try asking this question to yourselves when your team goes 11 wins, is backdoor swept in the finals,becomes the first 1st seed to lose to the 8th plus losing to the 7th as 2nd...
Pretty ing hard mate![]()
the last 11 yrs..haha ...(knicks)
Not my team but LeBron James leaving the Cavs has to be up there.
For the Spurs...D-Rob getting "bamboozled" by Hakeem in the playoffs that tainted his NBA legacy but he at least he wasn't the only one to suffer against the nightmare known as the Dream![]()

3 that come to mind.
The Bull's meltdown in Game 7 of the 1990 ECF (Except for Jordan)
Jordan's premature retirement in 93
Jordan's premature comeback in 95
Could've had a 9 peat.... sigh.
Ditto. Also was particularly hard hit by the Game 7 loss to the Mavs in 2006. That one stung.
for the older Lakers fans, probably 1969 Finals versus the C's. Those balloons didn't come down.
my generation, gotta co-sign with Guiseppe. That 1984 series was brutal. Easily could have been a sweep.
Game 1: Win in the Garden
Game 2: J Dub with 22 points but overshadowed by one bad pass.
Game 3: Blowout, C's played like sissies - Larry Bird
Game 4: Clothesline game - missed free throws late by Magic, Up 5 points with 59 seconds and possession of the ball. Lost in overtime. Hence the name Tragic Johnson
Game 5: C's win
Game 6: Lakers win
Game 7: C's win le.
Oh yea and a small market's worst nightmare that could've happened to the Spurs if not for guys like Gervin and D-Rob:

Kings of Sacramento: Horry's 3 in Game 4 or that brutal game 6 officiating.
Yup. There's no guarantee we would have gotten a 5-peat but still the possibility was high.![]()
Thats what "Ginobili's foul" is
Spurs getting swept by LA in 2001. Duncan's playoff return after missing the 2000 playoffs with the knee injury...losing on bull like .4 or the Gino foul is one thing. But when you're overwhelmed in a series (the conference finals no less), it's pretty bad.
beat that.
