Game 7 of the 1978 Eastern Conference Finals. SA chokes away a 3-1 lead in its best chance for a championship in the Gervin ERA and ends up with a chokers reputation that does not go away until the '99 championship.
Definately the .4 shot. I remember watching that game and being so excited when Duncan hit that shot. In fact, my husband was in LA at the time and we were talking on our cellphones. He was saying, "we got it, we got it." And I remember saying, there's still time on the clock and this is the Lakers.
Sure enough - Derek Fisher hits the .4 dagger. I was so upset I called in sick the next day! I kept replaying it over and over and it made me so upset each time!
He'd never hit that shot again. That was a once in a lifetime shot.
Also, they'd never be close enough that a desperation shot would matter.
.4 because it should not have been allowed to happen. We literally had the game won. Last year there was no guarantee we would have hit our free throws... lots of time left.
When did Fisher get traded to Chicago?
He plays for Utah. You would play Utah in the Conference Finals, and Fisher plays for them.
The one the hurts most is the refs handing Mavs the series last year.
That lost to Houston- per Tracy McGrady's 13 points in 30 seconds- was very hard to take, being that I was at the game alone and decked out in Spurs gear.
But now I just laugh about it. I'm glad that, that was the game I went to when I lived in Houston. I will never forget it and I know neither will any of the Spurs.
05 ( 2005) healed .04 for me. Actually , I had started feeling better when Detroit beat the Lakers in 2004. ( Thanks Pistons!)
It was disappointing to lose Game 7 last year to Dallas- we almost beat the creeps.
Still it was an incredible comeback and great game- so the good memories are the ones that stuck with me.
You know- I think that since you are bound to lose, it is sort of a good thing that some of said losses be heartbreaking. That to me, means you are a contender. That even when you don't win, you are right there in the mix as opposed to never having a chance.
I was actually about to come on here and post the TMac game.
How about game 6 of 2005? I know that doesnt make much sense considering we won, but i was so hyped after game 5 and thought it was over, then they lose and i had to go to West Virginia for football camp. After the one practice I came inside and watched game 7 in the lobby where EVERYONE besides me was cheering for the pistons, and there were like 8 teams there.
I thought my life was over when we got down by 8 in the fourth qtr, thank god for Tim Duncan and Bruce Bowen.
I was gonna say that too.
Also 1983 Spurs vs. Lakers. Mitch had an open jump shot at the very end of game 6 to force overtime and somehow missed it (should have been a sure thing). We could have won the game and forced a game 7 at the Forum where we had won game 2 (I think). I think we could have taken the series, but alas.
All of them!!! the blown 10 point lead in game 3 2000 against the lakers
.04
mavs.
with a little better luck the spurs have 6 les already
its like the spurs made a deal with the devil for the duncan draft, and repay with heart-breaking playoff losses on even years
Well, what comes around goes around. I've never seen so much collective pie eating, crow chewing humility at a fan forum ever from one group of fans. Where's are the Mavs trolls now?
To me .4 was pretty awful. Game 7 did suck the way the Spurs go up by 3 AT HOME with less than thirty seconds to play, and end up losing.
There is no loss that still haunts me, so to say. But, the game I still have the most "what ifs" about is Game 5 of the 2004 WCSF's. If only that shot hadn't gone in... 2005 definitely made up for that.
Game 7 last season if only because I had to face all the Mavs fans afterwards
That was the most crushed i have ever been after a game in my life. The rollercoaster of Tim hitting his big shot only to have Fisher put that in with virtually no time on the clock.
the "dare you to move" video of the 05 championship run made me forget about .4
i still watch that vid till now.
1979 Game 7 against Washington...the infamous Fat Lady Series. we were up 3-1 in that series and lost. That one still hurts.
you, Fisher!!!

Do you remember the shot that Duncan hit? It wasn't just a shot, it was a double clutch 3, my God.
I thought I was going to cry....until .4 seconds later.
game 7 last year was most recent, but .4, game 6 against LA in 04, and Barkley over Robinson all hurt BAD. Can't really say which one hurt the most.
I don't blame Fisher...He did what he had to do. I hate the time keepers cause they handed the Lakers that game.

Is that video on youtube?? I wanna see!!!
I can't believe no one has mentioned the Game 7 against Portland in David's rookie year. In both the .4 loss and last year's game, we were at home, had to overcome terrible starts and still had time to win those games. The .4 game was game 5 ! All we had to do was go win in LA and bring game 7 back home. We couldn't do it. And against Dallas, if it weren't for Manu, we would have never been in the game. He had just made a 3 ptr.
Yeah, it was one bad play amongst a bunch of great ones by him. We deserved to lose. We were down by 20 at home in game 7 in the first half. That was bull and that's why it didn't hurt as much.
In Portland, Game 7, we had a 7 point lead with 2 minutes left I think. That young team fell apart. It was the famous "behind the back, over the head, pass by Rod Strickland.
