Warriors.
Super Bowl is a one game shot so it's easier to choke one away.
Warriors lost 9 games all year but gave up 3 in a row to lose this thing.
The Pats' loss was pretty fluky, I think if you replayed that Super Bowl 10 times New England would have won all 10. But the Warriors with three chances to close Cleveland out, twice at home, after winning 73 games? Nothing fluky at all, Cleveland just came and took it from 'em.
I don't agree.. that NYG pass rush was downright incredible, and their corners finally started showing up to complement them in the playoffs. They also had just beaten the Cowboys and Packers (both on enemy turf) who also had video-game like offenses that year. NYG was just that good on defense.
Warriors 2015-16
Regular season losses = 9
Playoff losses = 9
This.
13 Spurs has to be the worst.
The Spurs can have the worst everything (fans, owner, players, arena, etc.), but they still have 5 championships that the Suns don't.
The only thing fluky about that Super Bowl is that the game ended up being as close as it was. The Patsies were a soft finesse team and the Giants had the tough defense you need to beat teams like that. That same Giants team was thisclose to ruining their undefeated season in Week 17.
The Pats were a total paper tiger that year. They needed the refs to carry them past the Eagles and a mediocre Ravens team. , they cut it close in the AFC le game against a Chargers team "coached" by Nrv Turner, with all our key players seriously injured because of Jeff Fisher's team of thugs. Actually, the Pats were pretty similar to these Warriors - a fools' gold team that got a ton of ref help, pulled lots of games out of their ass and got exposed when it mattered most.
Both of these chokes are so similar, especially the post-mortem analysis being done to the Warriors right now. It's like going back in time 10 years.
Both teams posted the best regular season in the history of their league. Both teams' star player won the MVP award. Both teams' head coach won the coach of the year award. Both teams posted historic offensive numbers. Both teams were favored by literally everyone aside from the opposing teams fans to win the championship. Both teams had the game in the trophy and couldn't close (Helmet catch, dropping the 3-1 lead). Both winning teams required an amazing play to get the win (Eli escaping the sack and completing the pass to Tyree, Kyrie's curse-breaking shot). NFL single elimination is the only break the Patriots get in this comparison. So it's definitely the Warriors.
The Warriors not only lost the series, but no team will ever try to win 74 games because of the way the Warriors lost. When you become the precedent for how not to lose a professional sports championship, you probably own the biggest chokejob in professional sports.
They were selling your .
2013 Spurs were never up 3 games to 1, and the Heat were the clear favorites, so not a choke at all.
They were selling your on the TV. Stringing your ropes.
Nothing dwarfs that.
Nah dude. The Pats had a couple close games in the regular season (Colts, Eagles, Ravens and Giants) but basically blew the other 12 regular season teams they played out of this galaxy. They did have a pretty soft postseason schedule, playing the Jags in the 2nd round after having a bye, basically getting two byes in a row and then playing a Chargers team featuring Rivers and Tomlinson both with no legs. They were supposed to beat the Giants and we were all scared as that Eli Manning was our last line of defense to stop 19-0 from happening. Turned out our last line of defense was actually the Giants defensive line.
Last night does.
