There's no guarantee they get Rasheed. However, all the pieces are still there to make the trade. Cliff Robinson can still be sent to the Warriors for Bob Sura. Mike Curry can be shipped to the Raptors for Lindsey Hunter. And Zelly Rebraca still is a free agent in 2004. It's possible.
It's not Stockton's fault. He hit a huge dagger three with 41 seconds left that should have put away game 6. Of course, then Malone chokes, and lets Jordan strip him on the left block, and season over. Stockton should kick Malone in the ass every day for that screw-up. No way they would have lost a game 7 at home with no Pippen.
tee, hee.
0.4 no doubt.
Oh that game the officials let the lakers comeback and win when they were down 17 in the 4th.
Right now, I'd have to say .4 as #1 and the Scola trade as #2.
edit:
Thinking more about it, I'd have to add game 5 of the 1995 Western Conference Semi's vs Houston at the Dome which was a game I was at sucked pretty hard as well...
Not to mention getting knocked out by Golden State in DRobs 2nd season...
and that shot, i'm guessing it was in 94, by Barkley over the Admiral will always haunt my memories a bit as well...
I also do not have very fond memories of getting owned by the Jazz time and time again, but many of these latter demons have been exorcised by our teams 4 les...so .4 and Scola reign supreme as major depressers.
I'm not sure the Spurs get past the Pistons in 2004 though, but I think Scola would have helped the Spurs get past the Lakers in 2008.

The ramifications of that game are incredible. I don't even like to think of the grim alternatives involved.
Oy vey!

Ginobili's foul
Could've had a 5-peat man...
Yup.. I cried on both instances
For me, by far the most embarrassing moment in franchise history has to be when my team got brutally swept by the Phoenix Suns in this year's playoffs. Utterly humiliating; they just destroyed us. It was like watching a Division III team play against a ...
Oh, wait a minute. I'm not a Spur fan; I'm a Suns fan. My mistake. Got mixed up there for a second.
Mori, draggin' that Spur ass to the tree of woe & gettin' his crucifin' on.
muhahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
***And I saw you over there a couple weeks back tearing that Sose Joint ass up over those trades, Mori. I was tickled pink!
The fact that the Spurs could have had a 5-peat depresses me
that would've been so sick
^Well, you had that every-other-year thing goin' for a while.
That was really cute.
Watching Sean's presser about his kidney disease, and the ensuing medical drama that unfolded.
I'd also say when David Robinson get knocked unconscious by Karl Malone was pretty tough too.
As angry as I got over .04 (actually wrote a letter to the NBA, copied Mark Cuban on it, and got a very agreeable response from him haha), that stuff's just part of the game; when players' actual lives are at stake, that's when it gets rough.
Stockton: 10 points in a must win game and goes 4 for 10
Malone: 31, 11 and 7. Goes 11 for 19. I'd say Stockton deserves more of the blame than Malone.
Karl was killing Rodman. Stockton couldn't deal with Harper who was actually sick that game. Hornacek was the second best player on the floor for the Jazz in that game.
1.1979-should of went to the finals that year up 3-1 against the bullets chocked at the end... don't know if we would of beat the sonics though in the finals
2.1995-losing to the rockets and hakeem killing robinson...spurs had a deep team that spurs defintley would of beat the magic in the finals that year
3.2006-dirks lay-up that should of been a non call.. would of beat the heat in the finals matched up perfect with them
4.2004- .04 bull shot spurs should of beat the lakers that series not sure if would of beat the pistons that year
5.2001- Best record in the league was coasting through playoffs when we faced the damn lakers and swept us damn derek anderson and derek fisher couldnt miss that series spurs would of beat the sixers that year also
spurs should be 9 time champions right now
Gotta be Paxson. Twixt Barkley needlessly gambling on the pass, Ainge unbelievably doubling off Paxson, a three-point specialist, to defend an already in trouble Grant when only a three can beat you, and the greater context of hosting a game 7 of the Finals for a le-less franchise, it has to be Paxson's three.
Worth mention is Elie's "kiss off" to Phoenix in Game 7 of the 1995 Semifinals, and Horry's "nudging" elbow to Nash and ensuing fracas in the waning seconds of 2007's Semifinal's comeback in San Antonio, and losing the Greatest Game Ever Played in 1976.
But pure moment, Gotta be losing the Finals at home on a shot that never should have been allowed to be attempted.
.4 was not as bad as ginobili's foul. the spurs could have recovered from it. no way they could recover from a end of regulation foul in game 7.
You don't cry conspiracy when you miss 15 straight shots.

Detroit Pistons...
Probably from a franchise perspective, the Palace brawl will be long remembered as the biggest black eye to the team and Detroit fans. It was bad for a while, but I've gotten over it. And the Darko pick will live in infamy much like Sam Bowie. Those two things will go probably go down as the worst of the lot. Those have both also been mentioned in the thread already.
But at least on the court and having to do with actual basketball play, I have a couple others to mention. All of these happened before the back-to-back les in 1989 and 1990, but those two les helped soften the blow of these horrible moments for Pistons fans.
First, the alleged "phantom" foul on Bill Laimbeer against a Kareem sky hook in game 6 of the 1988 Finals. It saved game 6 for the Lakers despite Isiah scoring 43 points and having that 25 point third quarter on a sprained ankle. Then, game 7 against the Boston Celtics in 1987 when the Pistons had the game pretty much in control but Adrian Dantley and Vinnie Johnson both dove for a loose ball and collided heads. Dantley was finished and neither played the rest of the game. The Celtics won by something like 3 points despite Detroit controlling most of that game before the head collision.
But the most famous worst Detroit Pistons moment on the court regarding actual basketball play is from that same 1987 series against the Celtics in game 5 and I still cringe when I see the highlight. Dammit, Isiah!
That's the reason I've always said that championships matter in regards to legacy, for every NBA superstar, except John Stockton.
It's a shame Malone fell apart in game 6 and that the Sonics were a few points better in game seven of the '96 conf. finals and that LA won a game seven vs. the Jazz in '88, but frankly, there was not much more Stock could've done with his career in order to win a ring. He gave it everything and came up a few points short through no fault of his own and irregardless of that, he was the best PG ever.to you and any other Stockton fans.
TBH, I think rings should not be a factor in determining GOATness, IMO if you have a great GM that can surround you with talent, youre winning championships if not then tough luck.That's the reason I've always said that championships matter in regards to legacy, for every NBA superstar, except John Stockton.

Stockton was a loser in a winner's circle. He was a selfish thing who got on the assist kick and would never deviate from it.That's the reason I've always said that championships matter in regards to legacy, for every NBA superstar, except John Stockton.

And that's it.
Cully, did that thread get deleted or what?
