Replays of 6 and 3 tbh
and we were up only 1... how many of you went in full blown meltdown mode, tbh?
Replays of 6 and 3 tbh
I went into meltdown mode when we were down one at one point in the 4th Q, I was calling them chokers since 08 and on and on! Manu missing that Ft did not nearly make me go to that point but when I saw us up only two I said here comes the damn THREE to win it again for two games in a row! I could see that happening.That is just enough to haunt you for a lifetime of bballI can relate.
I really thought about shutting the TV down, but the timeout was very short and everything was over before I could make up my mind.
In the next Dallas possesion there was a switch and he ended up with Dirk, for a moment it looked like he was going to leave him all alone on 3pt territory to go triple team Ellis. THAT would have caused some meltdowns, tbh.
oddly I wasn't. I blew a gasket when Carter hit that 3 the other day. I was feeling chest pains throughout the day, though some of that was drinking caffeine during the game. That brought back so many bad memories from last summer.
I was strangely more at peace with this one. When Manu missed it, I just figured maybe we don't deserve to win. And if Manu can pull through and Spurs play with more purpose, maybe we are meant to win.
to be honest, i find it difficult to get really caught up in this.
last year has definitely numbed a few nerves. i was pretty calm in the last few minutes, even my gf was surprised at it
I had ing Mavs fans yelling down my neck constantly and I just stayed cool and kept strong, yo.and we were up only 1... how many of you went in full blown meltdown mode, tbh?
Tbh what happens to Manu and Leonards free throws in the playoffs
both are 80%+ shooters who fall to the 50s in the playoffs
pretty much this!I went into meltdown mode when we were down one at one point in the 4th Q, I was calling them chokers since 08 and on and on!

Funnily I think it made me stronger/cooler as an actual baller. This season I was Mister Clutch (not only making important shots, but shooting 100% on a lot (A LOT!!) of stop the clock FT's.
Thinking about it, it may be something like: "WTF can happen...if Spurs' life goes on after those Finals, probably this whole thing isn't that important...its just a game and there is no reason to be rattled by this situation."
Hahahaha truth Nono. Funny tbh. Im not guiltless I admit. I heard so many moans during those last free throw attempts. And i heard just as many fools calling out Kawhi and Pop. I also talked about dejuan with reckless abandon.and we were up only 1... how many of you went in full blown meltdown mode, tbh?
Whats funny is I missed gary neal more than ever. hes a defenseless chucker... a fearless, clutch, lucky and Pop proof one. Only mother er since ...?... who wouldnt even flinch when Pop would assign him back up pg. After his third crazy teardrop vs Miami rained in earlier tonight, i couldnt help but wish he was still draggin his beanbag loveseat sized nuts onto the court for the silver and black. I still remember the stunned faces in the crowd when he trotted back to the bench without even a smile against Memphis in game 5 2011.
1.2 vc
Is it possible to meltdown while having a calm demeanor? When the Spurs choked away that 20pt lead, it honestly didn't bother me all too much. The experience of 6 made me immune to taking sports so seriously...
....But that didn't stop me from -talking a storm/laughing at how much we sucked.
We all did...
One of the fouls at the end came at exactly 1.7 seconds. I definitely was worried at that point...lol
Ditto, flashback of game 6 Heat series. thankfully the Mavs didn't hit some BS shot at the end of the game like last time. I think the Mavs luck in this series has been exhausted.
I got flash backs of Game 6 when Kawai missed a free throw down the stretch.
If it had been tony this place would have exploded. Especially after the game he had
Yeah...I don't know how the Mavs' last shot didn't go in...sometimes the luck swings the other way, I guess. That's why you can't get too upset when you lose in a fluke manner... happens, deal with it and move on.
6 definitely thickened some hides around here. I know it did for me. There is no way I could ever possibly suffer a bigger deflation in sports than that night.
When Carter hit his shot the other day, I simply turned off the TV, dropped the remote on the couch, turned around, and went to go finish dinner. Not worth ruining a perfectly good Saturday afternoon over.
I was cursing like a sailor in both English and Chinese when that happens, and talk about that what caused our 5th ring last year. Later when foul happens at exactly 1.7 second I was like where the Fu*k is Carter, please send the biggest guy we have to cover him........... then we won I was jumping and calling all my fellow spurs fans talk about how close we were to crap in our pants.
Manu too
I no longer trust Manu in important games after he threw the Finals, so I completely expected the missed FT tbh.
Damn, just noticed Mavs shot 64% from the stripe.
Delambert: 1 of 6
Maybe Pop can use that later
