You don't get it. If a 7 seed loses to a 2 seed, it's expected. They're SUPPOSED to lose, and almost always do. Only the 2 seed can actually choke.
Exactly. Only one team has a chance to choke, and it ain't SA.

wasn't the Spurs best player injured at that point as well as their starting PG? Spurs still won game 5 and game 6 (which was a road game), they played 3 games in San Antonio and 3 in Houston, so no HCA
The only team that can "choke" anything is Denver
Denver is playing at home
Denver is a 2nd seed
Spurs have nothing to lose
If the Spurs lose it won't be "choking"
So, we are up -say 19, TWICE- and we lose. That's not choking to you because we are the lower seeded team.
Don't need to worry about choking
NBA refs ain't gonna let Spurs win unless they have a monster game that outstrips the Zebras ability to choke on their whistles
Even last game at home they were calling phantom left and right on White and Poetl and Forbes whilst the Thuggets were crashing into everyone without a foul in sight. was laughable
That play where Craig stole the ball by mugging Gay right in front of the refs...
Milsap was straight out fouling even twice on a ton of drives to the basket.
And let's not forget that late beyond late whistle after White caused a Thuggets turnover that was leading to a Spurs fast break.That was shady
Look for the usual if the Spurs start to pull away.
Spurs get up 10+ and look for BS fouls on Poetl,White and Forbes anything to make Pop sub Patty/Marco.
Either that or look for early foul trouble for Lamarcus and Demar. I'm leaning towards this as White and Co got the treatment last game
Rockets only got their 2 rings because MJ decided to play some baseball. At least Dallas got their one without help.
Maybe maybe not. But that's not the spirit of OP's post. He clearly meant something else not losing after you are up 20 pts. He was just trolling us.
Again, overall, at the end of the game, if the Spurs lose whether they were up or down, it won't be choking, on the road, against a 2nd seed.
It's not choke if DeRozan turns the ball over 7 times in a row, that's the plan and likely result
See also: lamarcus pulling ever softer shots away from the basket, wombat and Italian sweat mop miss all their shots, pop plays a new "cool" line up, etc
Spurs already choked in game 2, tbh.
Can't choke a lead in a game that they never had.
Frauden's gonna choke against the Warriors. I wouldn't be surprised if the Rockets don't even put up half the fight that the Clippers did against them, tbh.
Spurs are the 7th seed. U not smart
Spurs still choked so far, missing 17-19 shots - what an abortion of a performance. SHAME
OP is a savant
LMA & DDR getting trashed by Shaq and Barkley.
These turds are playing worse than Patty
According to some this was not a choke because we were the #7 seed....
How were we not supposed to make it? We have two all stars... There are teams that made it in the west with noneAlready a successful season. According to “Experts “ they weren’t supposed to make playoff No Murray new players forcing number 2 teams to 7 games
which one is the second?
This was a choke. Anyone saying otherwise is a got homer. Embarrassing and pathetic performances by LMA, DD, and Pop. I can excuse our scrubs but our "leaders" were ing garbage. No one should excuse this series loss.
There isn't a second, but there are several with just one all star... We have two
? we have two all stars? Who?
They never played well enough to have a chance to choke. They never had the lead.
You have to lose the lead to choke.
The only time it was even tied was 2-2.
