it def ruins my day, but when i was younger i remember tearing up at big losses lol
now it's just like "maaayynne this"
After Game 7 2006 I stayed on SpursTalk for a while trying to process everything. I just kept staring at a thread called "This one hurts." It was even worse for me because my dad had died exactly a month before and I was using the Spurs as a way to distract me from the pain. I didnt get over it until I witnessed the Mavs choke their way out of a championship. That made it a little better. The best part of that was that we won it all the next year.

i feel this way too. i've been saying this since 07 i guess but i really just want one more. one more for tim to put him over the top. in that rare category. one more so we can move on as a franchise to the next phase. i tell myself once this happens i can relax and not get so wrapped up in every damn game. i can actually just enjoy the subsequent seasons for what they are win or lose.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds the Warriors to be annoying. Hopefully we'll pull this series off, but I think we'll get pounded out by Memphis. If OKC gets by the Grizz, we'll beat them.
It doesn't seem to matter where I am, I take the games probably to personally.
Reading the posts in here make me feel good that I'm not alone in overreacting to Spurs losses.
I'm lucky if nothing gets broken. I'm miserble the day after and wish I could fast foward to the next game. And would definetly kill a referee if I could find one.
It hurts more than a breakup. No joke
It frustrates me, depending on the cir stances, but generally I'm over it within 24 hours. The 2006 loss to the Mavs was the last time I felt somewhat emotionally devastated by a loss, and last year's Game 6 was just sickening to watch. More and more, I've realized that I watch the Spurs due to an ingrained loyalty from my childhood, but at the end of the day, it's just a game that a bunch of millionaires play for our entertainment.
Well the term "fan" is short for fanatic so that about sums up how many of us feel about our team.
Im a very competive person, so when they lose..especially in the playoffs I get pissed. Ruins my next day.
in all my years of experience. you take a loss a lot better if you take your homer glasses off.
that is why I have had mine off for for the last 2-3 seasons.
Coming into this series I knew it was going at least 6 games. After game 2 I knew it could go either way. Coming into game 5 Spurs are favorites, but not by much. And it doesn't really matter, cause Spurs will get bounced in the next series or finals.
I am leaning towards a spurs win today, but would not be surprised if Warriors win. Even then, I don't see series over. Still counting on Warriors youth to do them in sooner or later.
I've mellowed out. Having kids does that to a man. But 1995 loss to Houston Rockets sent me to a mild bout of depression for about a week. Even broke up with my gf as she kept wanting to talk about it and couldn't understand why I was upset.
but instead you drown your sorrows in a box of bearclaws, amirite?
It feels pretty ty because :
A/ I can't help but feel sad for Duncan who deserves one last chance to play the Finals
B/ I wake up badly exhausted the next day due to lack of sleep (the game ends around 5 or 6am)
As a result, playoffs wins on Sunday afternoon (US local time) are the best combination for us Euro fans
Best therapy I've found after a spurs loss is to go for a run. Time zone dependent of course.
