At least Spurs fans don't have to go through losing game 7's

[irishock]

Celtics: 2005 vs Indiana, 2009 vs Orlando, 2010 vs LA, 2012 vs Miami

Spurs haven't lost in game 7's in a long time.

[Venti Quattro]

Yeah, but they've lost to an 8th seed and got backdoor swept in two years.

First one never, ever happened to the Celtics since they joined the NBA. The second one, probably not too.

[LnGrrrR]

Yeah, I'd much rather lose in Game 6. Moron.

Someone sounds butthurt

[irishock]

Yeah, I'd much rather lose in Game 6. Moron.

Of course, I'd be butthurt too if I lead 3 1/2 quarters in a game 7 of the NBA Finals, and lose the last 1/2 of a quarter.

And then 2 years later the exact same thing

[Sean Cagney]

2006 was enough for me in game 7's losing, period..........

Game 7s are easy to take as losses because that means that at least your team had the same chances at winning the game the other team did.

BTW Getting backdoor swept happens. And we all know that 8th seed wasn't a legit 8th.

Sure some of you gots like bringing that up for entertainment purposes but deep down we all know 2011 Memphis were no damn 8.

[smaka]

We all know what Memphis did to be only 8th seed. So just shut up, please.

Butthurt?

[namlook]

It's much better to lose in games 7's than to be a number one seed losing to an 8th seed. That's just humiliating.

I'd rather be tied at the 3rd quarter and lose, then be up 2-0 and then lose the next four games.

These ing GNSF lately...

[TDMVPDPOY]

nothing wrong with losing to the 8th seed, given that it is a 50win team

now when u look at the east, the top seeds are gettin pushed to 6-7 games series in the first round by fodder teams for no apparent reason...

Only happened 14 times in NBA history, and the Spurs own 2 of 'em.

Personally I thought 2006 was brutal, because we were one stupid foul away from a trip to the finals and a chance to win back to back les. Knowing how close you were doesn't really make it easier, imo.

Edit: whereas knowing you got your ass kicked, well, it's a shame you weren't good enough, but it tends to keep the "what ifs" under wraps.
