1. At my house with my girlfriend and one of my best friends. I was totally pissed off that tim had missed the tip-in at the end of regualtion. But I came alive like a spring and shouted my ass off when the shot went in. I think I kept saying "holy " and "holy " over and over.
2. At the game in section 229 (I think). True story - I was couldn't believe Tim's shot. It was a high. But I remember saying "I don't like the .04 on the clock". Sure enough the shot went in and it took me a while to move.
1. Babysitting my nephews, one of whom was asleep and trying not to scream too loud so as to wake them up. That's actually how I spent the 2003 finals, only in another state, with another sibling's kids. I think I am getting the raw end of the deals here.
2. At my friend Sophia's house drinking martinis and cursing in disbelief. To add insult to injury, my boyfriend (who had been at the game without me) broke up with me two hours later.
1. At home watching game 5 ; 2 days before that game, I bet with a friend (a Pistons fan) that game 5 would be very close and that Horry would score the winning 3 ; true story ; of course, I was drunk when I told him that, but Horry made me look smart ; after that, I teased my friend for WEEKS ( " What did I say about game 5?)"
Strange things happen : I was pissed off when Timmy missed the potential game winner at hte end of regulation, but if he made it, the Horry shot would have never happened ; I'm pretty sure God listened to me 2 days before the game
2. Could not watch the game that night, so when I checked the score on the internet (Spurs up by one with 0.4 remaining) I was super happy ; after that, I cried like a baby

1. in Key West. i remembered Horry shooting that shot and then all of his clutch shots went throguh my head then BANG!
2. cant remember, im a MavsFan lol
1.After Tim had missed the tip in at the end of regulation, me and some friends said it win or lose we wanted to be at the air port to welcome them back. We got there and there was already a load of people there partying it up because Horry had hit that shot. I got there like at 12:00 a.m. and the Spurs didn't get there till like 4:00. When they got there they played a hip hop version of "sweet home Alabama" before Horry made a speech and the place went nuts. Good times.
2.I was at home with my girlfriend and family. When Tim hit that shot everybody was screaming and giving each other high fives. Then Fish hit that shot and we were all standing there in disbelief.
1. closet
2. sending an e-mail to Stern
1. At work tracking the score on the phone, and sitting in disbelief as the phone switched from 93-92 to 95-93.
2. Sitting 15 rows cattycornered from the bench as fisher shot the shot in front of me, then standing there for 30 minutes afterwards, still stunned and sickened.
1) Damn, you missed it on TV!!?!?!
2) Damn, you were there!?!?
1. Drinking Corona's and cheering 2. Drinking Corona's that spilled on the floor when I dropped it after gasping in horror at the event which had just transpired. It's like Tim makes the shot, I'm talking to anyone in the house. Then .4 seconds later I'm looking for a hole in my yard to bury my face in!
Jumping up and down @ Kori's with a few other people....I think I sharted.
I think Timvp grabbed my azz!!!!
Had a shot of some Pear Brandy that rocked me pretty damn good.
===

On the can thinking "Man this feels so damn good!" and then hearing my girlfriend yell "Oh NO!"
As I ran to the front room trailing some tp she meet me at the doorway and said "I'm Sorry" like it was her fault. Her black eye and swollen lip have since fully healed.
The funny thing is, after Timmy made his ridiculous shot, all the Lakers fans left. Then Pop called 2 consecutive Timeouts (I believe) so it gave all of us a load of time to laugh at them...
1. Going nuts and talking to the Laker fans in my neighborhood who were cheering every Pistons basket, while I was cheering every Spurs one.
2. At a sportsbook in Mexico, running around like a madman after Tim's shot even though I knew I lost my money (the spread was 3 points). Thankfully, you can drink all night in the bars there, and all the Laker fan in the place could see how pissed off I was and didn't say .
1. At work on the other side of the world, watching foxsports and spurstalk unfold. Smiling.
2. At work on the other side of the world, watching foxsports and spurstalk unfold. Cursing.
1. in my bedroom watching with the sound low b/c my wife (gf at the time) was asleep then doing one of those whisper cheers.
2.Living room telling my roomate to shutup b.c after tim hit that shot he said that was to good the Lakers are going to make a shot..... then they did. I was pissed and, no lie, my friend starting crying and went to his bedrooom. He was like 21 at the time
That is sooo fuk'in funny! Unbelievable!
1) in bed watching the game, waiting for a miracle to happen and yelling at my girlfriend that he got the ball from Ginobili... she (half sleeping) asked me: Is Horry that Will Smith guy?
2) numb... behind my pc.
1. At another house with lots of people. While I was on my Summer vacation. It was really loud, and one of the little kid, Spurs fan sons was on the couch "praying" outloud for the Spurs win, to the side. It was really a great win. My dad and I were amazed by the fact that they opted to go for the three rather than the two.
2. At my apartment alone, following the gamecast. Doing my homework. (oddly enough I had to miss the one game of the series I had lived for!) There were a series of three loud screams within my apartment complex from all around. The first I was assuming was Kobe's clutch shot. I was so excited when I read Tim made the final second shot, and I could hear through my window screams of Loud Laker fans! (in pain) and I was like "Go Timmy!" and I had assumed the Spurs had won the game because I wasn't able to watch live. And then I was wondering if the gamecast was glitchy because it was stuck on 0.4...
Then, the next minute I hear another huge scream from outside, and through the wall of my apartment. And the rest was history.
My roommate a huge Laker fan came back from watching the game, to tell me about it. And then On Saturday we went over to watch game 6 at his bros place. I was never more depressed after swallowing that series.... That is until they played Detroit...
And the Laker Off-seasoned rolled along, vindication! So if anything maybe beating the Spurs in the post-season has an automatic hex for that team when on the biggest stage??
1. Just stepping out of the shower and hearing the wife going nuts
2. In sec. 206--what a collective gut kick it was
Well, they opted for the 2, but Wallace made a mistake and left Horry open ; he wasn't going to think twice before launching a 3
1. I was with a group of friends at my house watching the game. I just recall seeing Manu trapped in the corner, seeing the pass going to Horry, and thinking immediately -- damn, he did it for us too. I was reluctant to go too crazy, though because of . . . .
2. I was in the SBC Center (at the time) and remember vividly that I nearly fell over the rail on the first row of the upper deck jumping up and down. When I collected myself, my first thought upon looking at the scoreboard was "Why .4? Why couldn't it have been .3" The difference, of course, is huge, because while most of us don't believe that a player can catch and shoot in .4, the NBA does. Had it been .3, the Lakers only hope would have been some sort of variation of the Dwight Howard play. As Phil kept calling his timeouts, I got the sickest feeling in my stomach that something bad was about to happen. And it did. Like so many others, I stood there in disbelief for minutes.
You forgot this moment.
The dude falling down in the lower right, thinking "damn, you just owned me", is Rip Hamilton.
1. Jumping up and down in the living room, screaming with joy, while my friends, who are, for whatever reason, bandwaggoner Pistons fans, sat there in disbelief.
2. At home, staring at the TV, thinking that the Spurs are going to turn this thing around the win the series. I couldn't sleep that night, and spent the next 3 months arguing with Laker fans that it's physically impossible to catch and shoot a turnaround in 0.4.
1. telling my husband " i toll u horry 4 3"....and was packing chips and cokes for the parade!!!
2. .4 crying crying and shouting BULL.....! noway it was ALLOWED! ...but after the parade of 05 i was ok widit....

1. At home, wondering what Spurs team was going to show up for game five. After the opening tip, I knew the guys were focused and ready to take the game. Once Horry started to get hot, it was like watching a movie. He was making every play and hitting every shot. When Rasheed Wallace left Bob to trap Manu, I thought he's going to hit another one. Great times.
2. With a room full of Laker Fans in Santa Monica. There was only one other Spurs Fan there and we were having a great time watching Laker Fans bricks as the Spurs made there comeback. The final possessions were nuts. Kobe hits his jumper and the whole room erupts. Then TD hits his shot and dead silence except for us two. The timeouts made it seem like half an hour before Fisher's BS. After Fisher hit it, the entire room went crazy and I fell to my knees holding my head. I couldn't believe that it counted.
