For me, it would have to be last year against the Mavs. That was our chance, if never in the future, to repeat and it came down to one critical possesion and other key calls during the series. That one hurt more than getting the broom by the Lakers in 00 and all the other exits. What about you guys?
04 versus LA.
Had em down 2-0 and should have won game 4.
Had that game won at halftime.
1. 2004 (.4)
2. 2001 (Sweep)
3. 1979 (Losing 3-1 lead to Bullets)
4. 1995 (Hakeemed)
5. 2006 (Enough Said)
6. 1994 (Maloned)
7. 1990 (Strickland's no look pass)
8. 1983 (Mitc misses 15 footer that would have taken us to game 7 at Forum)

Yup, yet another opportunity to get back to back. I feel we would of beaten minny and been in a dog fight with Detroit, but would of come out victorious.
1995 will always be #1 for me, losing against Houston after winning 62 games.....
In the Tim Duncan era, probably 2001 for having the best record in the NBA and losing our 2nd leading scorer in round 2, and then getting embarrassed by the Lakers by an average of 22 ppg margin of defeat for the series. Lost by 39 pts and 29 pts in the last two games. I just hated the fact that they flat out quit with no heart after the first 2 games
2006 is a close 3rd

dallas by far
the lakers series sucked from '04 but the better team won
last year we literally handed the mavs that game
04
all of them sucked... wtf?
Yeah, those NEVER slip away...
You can blame Juwan Howard and the dirty ass Mavs for that. They knew their team was ing garbage so they tried taking the Spurs down with 'em. I'm glad their pathetic fluke franchise hasn't won .
2006 - It was the only championship level Spurs team that lost to a worse team.
I agree Spurs should be going for a 3 peat here if only Manu had not fouled Dirk.
1995 was the worst emotionally, by far. I was twelve, and that series was the first time I ever attended a playoff game. David Robinson was the MVP and we had the best record. I made a poster with a big drawing of David dunking with "50 MVP" written under it to take to the game. I don't think it occurred to me back then that we could lose.
2006 was pretty tough as well. 2004 would have been a lot worse if the Lakers hadn't lost to the Pistons. (The Pistons will always have a special place in my heart for beating them and keeping Malone from getting a ring.) None of the others really compare to those three.
ya both of them 04 and 06..we should be going for a 5-peat
04 stupid fisher and his shot
06 lame calls on last plays in the dieing secs of every game
95 drob gettin school
01 getting sweep
and every other encounter with the lakers, where tp dissappears
.4, clock did not start when he caught the ball
The 2006 Spurs, while they lost a winnable series, did not ever quit. They showed a lot of poise and heart in defeat. In 2004, 2001, 1996, 1991 - the Spurs did not show poise in defeat. 2004 was the best of those teams - by far - so in that sense 2004 was the most disappointing.
The Spurs should have one in 1995, big choke job. 2001 shouldn't be on any list since we were clearly overmatched.
.04 lakers was the worst for me.
2007 if the Cavs don't at least win one game. Better yet two. Make it at least interesting.
1) 2001 - utter annihalation leaving Duncan looking like a schoolgirl
2) 1995 - dominant team with 5-0 at his peak; so close to first le
3) 2004 - up 2-0 looking like a lock to defend le, then get swept
4) 2006 - worst officiated series; screwed by seeding & scheduling (game 1)
5) 2002 - won 1st game, then swept; had 4th qrt lead in all 5 games
(My memory doesn't go past the Barkley buzzer beater in '93)
I know! Watching malone with a hurt leg on the sideline with that defeated look on his face! That is a top 5 non Spurs moment of my NBA watching life!
.04 Lakers... after Duncan hit that shot I was so happy, then the Fisher shot... it just drained everything out of us and the players.
Mavs loss doesn't hurt as much any more, they were a of a team that year and it was pushed to the limit, game 7 in OT, can't go much further than that.
I wasn't really into watching basketball until 2002 or so, I can't really speak for the remander of the moments listed aside from reading or watching clips of them, but they still hurt a bit to see.
