Divac was the one who messed up in 2002, and it took an act of god to stop the Kings in 03.
How would you ranked them?
The candidates are.....
2000 TrailBlazers
2002 Kings
21 Century Mavericks
heres mine..
1. 21 century Mavericks
2. 2000 Trailblazers
3.2002 Kings <---This team was bound to choke with Chris Webber on it.

You're right, Divac was part of it too. But he wasn't the only one.
P.S. Snaq O'Meal played a HUGE part in it as well.
Any other teams I should add to the All-Choke Team in the 21 Century?
2004 Spurs?
I've never seen so many good shooters clank so many shots. That team had the yips. Wait, was that 2004? One of the Spurs teams choked, the other got outcoached, I don't remember which is which.
2002 kings didnt choke..... robert horry ed us...... period point blank
must feel good to finally be relevant in something huh?
Kings choked. All they had to do was rebound that ball in Game 4 and they have a 3-1 series lead.
Blazers choked too. Double-digit lead in Game 7? Come on. That's something you're supposed to keep.
I don't consider the Mavericks as chokers because they were never championship contenders/favorites to begin with, so there was nothing to choke away. Overrated/overhyped is a better word than "chokers".
mavs... bar none. no one compares. to be the best in the leauge only to get defeated by an 8th seed in a 7 game series first round in the playoffs.
choke level has been elevated by the mavs.
The Mavericks never were the best team in the NBA. Best teams don't lose a first round series. They were more like a 50-53 win team who managed to get that extra lucky 14-17 wins.
Um, airball?
2007 Mavericks by far and away.
2000 Blazers a close second.
Webber's Timeout.
Sorry, not 21st Century.
Thank you Mavs for taking some of the heat off 2002 Kings, who very definitely choked Game 7 away by missing FT's and with Peja's airball at the end of OT. Game 6 was Bavetta's Baby and will forever be on top of the "worst NBA officiating" list. Game 4 was Horry's biggest moment.
Tha Lakers just happened to be at all three of those games.
94 Sonics
2006 Pistons
2002 Kings did choke with all of those FT's they missed in game 7.
Id hardly say the 2006 pistons choked,they werent the favorites against Miami to begin with.Had they lost to the Cavs in round 2 you could make that arguement
It figures a homer would jump in and defend the Pistons
With all of the expectations that were heaped on this team after appearing in consecutive NBA finals, how do you figure that they were underdogs to Miami in '06?
2003 Red Wings (won Presidents trophy, swept in first round by 8th seed. SWEPT.)
2006 Red Wings (won Presidents trophy, lost in 6 to the 8th seed)
because of shaq/wade being better then they were in 2005,and because they got deeper on their bench.It was a tough loss yeah but hardly a choke,because in order to choke you have to either be the overwhelming favorites or have a large lead in a series like 2-0 or 3-1 and then lose.The Mavs Choked last year as they were both favored over Miami and had a 2-0 lead.I know your a piston hater but to rank the 06 pistosn in the top 3 is sillyIt figures a homer would jump in and defend the Pistons

I wouldnt rank the wings in the top Biggest Chokes, at least when compared to the Bosoxs/Yanks debacle,some embarassing moments in Golf that I wont even mention
2003 lakers,I mean Fakers.
2004 Lakers. With Shaq, Kobe, Payton and Malone, they were expected to win without a fight.
We'll have to disagree on this one.because of shaq/wade being better then they were in 2005,and because they got deeper on their bench.It was a tough loss yeah but hardly a choke,because in order to choke you have to either be the overwhelming favorites or have a large lead in a series like 2-0 or 3-1 and then lose.The Mavs Choked last year as they were both favored over Miami and had a 2-0 lead.I know your a piston hater but to rank the 06 pistosn in the top 3 is silly
You're speaking choke as in giving away something that appeared to be won. I'm talking about a choke in terms of expectations that were placed on a team that were not met.
64 wins and no le to show for it with home court advantage. You just might be the only Piston fan who wasn't diappointed in last years finish. After the high expectations that were placed on the Pistons, there were a lot of angry Piston fans that I remember on various internet boards, including this one.
And, you're wrong with the Piston hating remarks. I'm just calling it as I see it.
