Nope, never will. If it hadn't happen, we'd be doing a repeat this year. Though, this championship is a bandaid.![]()
Does it still sting?
I was at game 5 when we lost and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I always said when we won another championship, the sting of .4 would go away.
What do you think?

.4??? Whats this .4 you speak of?
I was at that game also and it still stings...but the Trophy lessens the pain.
.4 is when Derek Fisher made a game winning shot in Game 5 on the 2004 Western Conference semi-finals against the San Antonio Spurs, that allowed the Los Angeles Lakers to take a 3 games to 2 lead in the 7 game series.
happens, and life goes on.
Um...I think Dre was being sarcastic. :/
Disagree. If the spurs were championship quality last year they would have been able to come back and win the next game and win game 7. Manu wasn't the player he is now last year(not as confident) and the spurs weren't as good.
If you say the spurs would have won last year then you have to say the spurs should have lost this year had it not been for Horry's shot.
.4? I will still be ing about .4 and Derek Fischer 20 years from now--that's how much it stings. Who knows what could have happened the next 2 rounds after that?
But I guess what comes around goes around right? That's why this year's GAME 5, with Horry hitting a crucial shot in the final seconds that went in our favor is that much sweeter.
That's pretty much how I feel too. It will always sting, but I also think it makes this one feel so much better.
Yeah its called sarcasm.
Meaning, I just "forgot" about Fishers shot when we won the le.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda. If the queen had balls she would be the king.
You wouldn't be repeating . You couldn't get pass the Lakers last year so don't make excuses. You also had a totally different team. You might be better matched up with the Pistons but you guys have a hard time against the Laker's team with Shaq. Enjoy your championship but don't get all re ed and .
It's okay. Big Rob gave us 7.9
you know whats ed up... not only point four but that the lakers in game six and 7 where playing with spirit and ... we had no chance because they where playing like the all star squad they where... but then when they got to detroit it was like they stopped playing with that intesity
I will never forget that night. I was so excited when we came back from 9 down and took the lead. And when Duncan made that shot, I thought we won. I already was talking about how we won. Then Fisher goes and makes that shot. I think I said "No....NO.....NOOOOOOOOOO. DONT COUNT IT." It was the worst game I have ever witnessed. I remember just lying in bed that night staring at the wall. It was horrible. My cousin jinxed us though. He was screaming and hollering that we won, and his mom goes " It's not over yet theres still .4 left." and he told her to shut up and that she didn't know anything and that the Spurs won. Then D-Fish made that shot.
That game will always be a nightmare to Spurs fans, but, from my point of view, the 2004 Spurs, had they won that particular game, would not have been strong enough to beat the Pistons. just my opinion.
Not sure of that. I'm sure we'd have gotten by Minnesota but I think we might very well of made the same mistake with Detroit as LA. Underestimating the Pistons.
But, whatever, it happened and that is that.
No past, only future.
As of today, we're in the 2005/2006 season. 04/05 season ended last night.
It's the combination of the bitter and the sweet that makes it fun to be a fan (great for chocolate too).
0.4 means nothing to me....I do not know that name.

I dunno.... the Fisher shot was pain. But I don't think anything compares to the thrashings the Lakers gave us in 01 and 02. They just simply humiliated and embarrassed the Spurs.
I still can hear Al Michaels yelling Derek Fisher!!!!!!!
But, with the spurs winning the championship it does not hurt that much.
Nice signature Duff!
Oh you mean that BS shot that shouldn't have counted? Didn't mean anything to me then, and still doesn't. I actually expected it, believe it or not, so I wasn't as shocked as most people (don't ask...I have premonitions/visions). But yeah, if it had actually been a good shot with the clock starting on time, it would have hurt more, but sitting there watching it and seeing that it was obviously no good made it less painful. Plus, it's in the past. Who cares. LA didn't win anyway, so ha.
Yeah, the .04 shot used to haunt me but this years victory has smoothed the edges of that somewhat.
shut up
Classy, real classy![]()
