    What's the definition of folding in a sporting context?

    Here it is:

    (especially of a sports player or team) suddenly stop performing well or effectively.

    What the do you think happens when a team blows a 3-1 lead? Yeah, they stop performing well or effectively.

    We can also apply your same re ed logic to the Spurs and say they didn't fold because they were up 2-1

    Both teams folded, you massive dumb .
    You were talking about games 5 and 6 as examples of them folding. They obviously didnt fold in game 7 (20 lead changes and 11 ties) so you tried to use the entire series as a metaphor for folding but that makes no sense considering they were up 3-1.

    The Spurs folded in their game six. You guys are just going to have learn to live with it.

    You've no room. Your Lakers got off the horse and yielded to the Mavericks to the tune of 36 points.

    And let's not forget Boston 39 piecing you in the Finals.

    I'm not arguing that. They folded after game 3, because the Spurs met the literal definition of what folding is: To suddenly stop playing well or effectively.

    But per that definition, the Warriors also folded.

    And the Suns have been doing it for 50 years now

    Uh, no.

    The LITERAL definition is bend causing a crease. Fold a piece a paper etc.

    Its used as a METAPHOR when a team also bends/yields to an opposing team.

    Once again, using words you dont understand.

    No . And folding has been long used as a synonym for "choking" in a sporting context.

    And at "uh no" when the literal in' definition of folding (in a sporting context) is to suddenly stop playing well, i.e. choking.

    Of course you back your buddy.

    The word the dip is looking for is surrender.

    To fold, in a sporting context, is usually used when a player or team collapses after playing well. Where do you think the term "To fold under pressure" comes from?

    No one says, "They folded under pressure" when a team loses by 30. We use terms like "blow out" or "laugher" for those situations. DSF is the one who doesn't know that the he's talking about here, like usual.

    Uh..no (again).

    Choking means to buckle under pressure.

    Folding means to give up without a fight. To concede defeat. When you fold in poker, you dont even play the hand. You dont even challenge.

    The Warriors choked. The Spurs folded.

    See the difference?

    Are you dumb? Have you ever played poker? You can fold in two ways. You can indeed fold without playing the hand. Or you can fold under pressure from an opponent raising and re-raising you. Also, the poker metaphor isn't really used for sports (poker isn't a sport).

    Choking means to buckle under pressure.
    Oh.

    a. To give in; buckle: a team that never folded under pressure.

    Heres your list of ing idiots using words they dont even understand.

    To "Fold" means to bend or yield to outside pressure. To show no resistance. To Fold.

    The Spurs folded because they got blown out in their elimination game. They conceded defeat. They didnt even "show up".

    If you want to accuse the Warriors of CHOKING, be my guest. But accusing either team of folding in a series that comes down to the last minute of game seven just shows youre a ing idiot.
    like scoring 4 points in final 5 min of a game 7 at home is not folded.... dear god you are ing dumb

    OP using Warriors to talk to Spurs fans
    OP salty, eternal loser even when bandwagonning
    fold is not like choke
    Warriors made it tough for Cavs... they even lead the serie 3-1 but no did not fold
    I was rooting for the Cavs since the beginning
    I'm a massive got just showing my rat face when Spurs were down and when I was sure Warriors would win it all
    dirty Spurs, dirty Horry, dirty Bowen
