Not even role player.

D LEAGUE.

And that was enough to cost us homecourt in game 4.

And you think a team as this years Spurs that had so many holes in the roster that could lose a game cause of a dude like Craig was favorite in the series?

Cause once again,if you are not the favorite in a series/game,you don't choke.You just lose.

We lost.We didn't choke.

Choke city bruh.A better team knocked us out in game 7.On their homecourt.What a chokejob.

Game 4 and Game 7 both should've been won. Anyone who has paid attention to this team knows that the Spurs were in the driver's seat.
Don't make excuses to make yourself feel better. Come to terms.

Game 4 should've been won.Our floor,our house,we lead 2-1,we take that one,go up 3-1 and they fold.

Game 7,as all game 7s should be a toss up and a dog fight.We absolutely sucked.But i had zero expectations at that point.I just didn't expect that it would be that terrible of a game on our part.I certainly expected us to lose though.

If this was a thread about game 4,by all means,let the chokejob narrative explode.
But a dude warned us that we would choke on game 7 like we were playing in San Antonio and Nuggets had injury problems.We didn't.They were healthy.

Rockets choked.In '17,in '18,in '19.Those were choke jobs by professional choke artists.

[Dex]

Don't let the Rocket's choking distract you from the fact that in '20-'21, the Rockets will owe a shade under $100M to choker Harden, unplayable Capela, and a 36-year old Chris Paul.

And no way in CP3 turns down that $44M the following year either.

[RD2191]

Both teams ing choked. We could combine LMA/DD and CP3/Harden and they still wouldn't make it past the Dubs. They're all a bunch of choking gots.

Good that you're conceding that the series was ultimately a choke; but you're still rationalizing to make yourself feel better on Game 7.

It was a "toss-up" in name only. Nuggets were prepared to hand us that game. We did not take it.

"In sports, a choke is the failure of a sportsperson or team in a game in a situation where maintaining their performance is highly important.^[1] This can occur in a game or tournament that they are strongly favored to win, or in an instance where they have a large lead that they squander in the late stages of the event. It can also refer to repeated failures in the same event, or simply infer an unexpected failure when the event is more important than usual."

The Nuggets shat the bed in Game 7. Spurs should've finished them off.

If you want to give your own personal interpretation in words and meanings,completely separate and not in agreement with the meaning the entire planet has given to those words,it's fine.

I'll just accept you for the uneducated,ignorant prick that you are and not waste another second on your opinion.

Spurs were the "underdog," so choking was impossible

The stupid you have to tell yourself.

Gifs won't save you. You've admitted you gave the Spurs a pass on their choke.

Whatever you say.If we can't agree on the principal meaning of an action what's the point in conversing about it?

Apparently in your vocabulary choking equals losing.Everytime we lose,we choke.

In mine it means something else.You can lose without choking.

You think we choked,i think we played a bad game and lost.

And i will never EVER give the Spurs a pass cause i am neither a homer nor blind.

I don't accept your neanderthal definition if you want to try and break it down to that.

The Spurs failed to beat a team that was playing at a lackluster level in a Game 7. If that's not a choke, then I don't know what is.

They were playing at a lackluster level and we played on a level below that.That's what it is.

But i've seen the Spurs play at that awful level on the road so many damn times this year that it didn't surprise me one bit.

Two teams playing awful basketball.One team won and the other one lost.

We most certainly had the chance to take the game and series.Cause they choked in the end of game 7.We didn't capitalize on that chance.

You want to call it a neanderthal definition,be my guest.I call it being a pragmatist and a realist.

remember you're talking to a guy who thought NBA player meant Jimmer, so obviously definitions are something he struggles with

OF COURSE choke means lose a situation you are expected to win. how re ed do you have to be thinking any loss you had a possibility to win is a choke?

[Spurtacular]

In other words, a choke. Just come to terms, dude.

[GusT15]

In other words, a choke. Just come to terms, dude.

In YOUR words a choke,by YOUR definition a choke.

The only thing i'm coming to terms with is your inability to understand basic concepts.

And on that note,i'm done with this whole ty debacle,post another one of your re ed responses with the moronic emojis at the end and be done with it.

Cheers.

[Spurtacular]

I'll take that garble as a tap out.

Just come to terms instead of rationalizing sh** play next time, dude.

He's an idiot, man. One of the lowest BBIQ fans on this board, so no point in going "back and forth" with him.

I know it's difficult but always use this advise on Spurstalk:

Literally a person from a distance just sees two people arguing, and not who is right or wrong. The wise man Jay is referring to is probably Mark Twain. Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

Why would a Rockets/Dantoni fan even speak on choking?

Like...what gives you the right? Lol
