The absolute biggest choke in sports history--in any sport!

Nah . . . it's simply the most recent.

But it's top 3 for sure.

[ponky]

ok yeah, mavs are the biggest chokers, now get the over it because we have...time for some BOXING!


btw, it's probably best, when using a credible source, not to 1. use a blog and 2. use a guy with a name like eric moneypenny

[samikeyp]

I still say USA Hockey 1980 was a bigger upset.

[King]

Rulon Gardner beating that Russian was bigger if we're looking at all sports

[LEONARD]

Not even close...

GS as they played in the 2nd half of the season was not the typical "8 seed"...

Sure, it's the first time a 1 has lost to an 8 in a 7-game series, but GS was an 8 because they sucked ass before their trade and while Davis was hurt...

[Holmes_Fans]

I am gonna laugh when GS win the west

[baseline bum]

Nah... this is only the biggest choke/upset in NBA history. Seriously.

All the not typical 8-seed talk is garbage. Every season everyone says the West's 8-seed isn't a 'typical 8-seed'.

'Nova over Georgetown, NCAAs 1985. I think if you played that game 100 times, Georgetown wins the other 99. ing 'Nova shot 79% from the field for the game, and 90% for the second half. They won by 2 points.

With at least one of the Nova guys high on cocaine during that game

Whatever makes you feel better about losing to an eight seed.......

Well, Gary McClain admitted to using during the tourney, but maintains he didn't use before the Final. If you want to think he did, that's your business. That's still one guy out of 7 or 8 that played.

79% FGs as a team.

You don't think GS is better than the Lakers or Nuggets??

I didn't lose to anybody...and I'm not even pissed about the Mavs losing...

[BUMP]

if Golden State beats the Rockets/Jazz and goes to the western conference finals will you still think they are just another 8 seed?

[Fillmoe]

I didn't lose to anybody...and I'm not even pissed about the Mavs losing...

If you had the comprehension skills of an average human being you would have noticed that no where in my previous statement did I actually say you personally lost to anyone. And stop denying the fact that you aren't pissed that your squad is softer than double d ties.

I just recall him saying that he was high during that game, but then later on denying it. No big deal, as I was pulling for Nova big time. It was a great Monday night!!!

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Im sick of this bashing!!!

[baseline bum]

If Nowitzki had any balls and played at anything approaching the level he played at in the Spurs or Suns series, Golden State is out in 5 or 6, as a typical 8-seed.

[Spurminator]

GS may not have been a typical 8th seed, but Dallas wasn't a typical 1 seed either. They had the 6th best record of all time.

we just like giving you guys grief

I stated in the middle of the series that there was nothing left to do but laugh...and that's what I did...

I'm fine with the SAME Dallas team taking the floor next year. They ran into a buzzsaw and couldn't hang because they were off. They played like the last 5 or 6 wks of the season actually...

[Phenomanul]

Way for U.S. Sports writers to be so myopic....

Biggest upset in NBA history for sure....

But sports history in general? Nah


What about when Brazil lost the World Cup Final at home in 1950 to Uruguay "el Maracanazo" - people actually died in the stadium from the upset.

[mavsfan1000]

I disagree with this considering Golden State was the hottest team coming into the playoffs. I guess people are ignorant of what is happening lately. They were blowing out all the top teams. Houston, Utah, Phoenix, Dallas, Detroit, and etc.

They were never able to talk smack on us to begin with, what have they done to warrant them the right to talk smack in the first place?
