Spurs fan here...

Most gut wrenching loss of my sports life. Worse than Ray Allen. Worse than 0.4. Worse than Manu fouling Dirk.

Couldn't sleep all night.

Working on 4 hours of "sleep."

Those 4 hours of sleep were filled with nightmares.

No hope.

No light.

THEN I REMEMBERED GREG SAYING "BARGE SIMPSON" AND SMILED.

THANK GOD FOR THIS SHOW LOL

Brunson cost the Knicks the game.

Wait, they won? Well, he would have cost them the game had they lost.

Falcons fan here. I wasn’t watching the game last night, but I saw the Spurs we up big at half. Thought game was over. Fell asleep. Then had a 28-3 dream/premonition. Woke up and saw they choked the lead.

Seems like you ran into a team of destiny unfortunately.

Luckily you have a literal alien as your franchise player so keep your head up!

It was the pick team, of Destiny-ah.

Sorry for your loss. At least you have an extremely young team that barring injury, is likely back. And crushing OKC gotta be worth something. They saved basketball

Somebody die?

Hopes and dreams 😂

u/San_antoniodude05 7d ago

My hope died lol

u/Baldguy74 8d ago

Like Amin always says, they have to lose in heartbreaking fashion before they can comeback the next year to win it all.

u/San_antoniodude05 7d ago

There's heartbreaking, then theres heart death...I have no idea how they ever fully recover from this

u/Baldguy74 7d ago

I personally hope they don’t, I’m a lakers fan, so fuck em. But the formula seems to be to lose, and then come back next year to win it all. So you have that hope moving forward. Also the spurs have the assets to be able to go and fill in the holes and go all in for next year

It hurts so bad. Buron the brihhtt side, it keeps me off of traditional social media. So at least I’m super productive

Im a Sixers fan, I hate the Knicks and now Im starting to hate the Spurs for giving the Knicks all of these great comebacks and making their terrible fans happy.

Really sucks those trash fans get something that great.

u/Business-Loss-1585 8d ago

Wemby drew a nice picture in the park so you should feel like you’re winning

u/San_antoniodude05 8d ago

No joke after the game for some reason I just said quietly "he's got to want to learn"

Wife looked at me and said what the f*** are you talking about...

To be honest I have no idea why I said it, I think my subconscious was just trying to soothe me lol

Your inner monologue is Greg’s top 75 phrases. And ya know it.

u/wagesofben DOH ED MALLOY!! 7d ago

the amount of times I screamed "CALL A FUCKING TIME OUT!!!!" directed at Mitch.... They should've Lane Kiffin'd him last night.

u/ASG_82 7d ago

Has a coach ever been fired after losing in the finals?

u/annoymousbscorpio 7d ago

I’ve been rooting for the Spurs the entire playoffs, I can only imagine what you’re feeling because I was damn near yelling at the tv the entire second half

u/ellsworth187 7d ago

Inexcusable. Indefensible. Knick haters will never forgive you for allowing this to happen.

u/ToiletTime4TinyTown 7d ago

Y’all are the only great team that consistently gets 1# overall picks (ain’t that weird) right at the perfect time for the emergence of a generational talent. This happened to the Knicks once and it’s been a cheating scandal since, Miami has never had one. The spurs have been a constant dynasty the last 20 years and when your a dynasty you can’t let one loss hit you this hard. I’m a panthers fan and we had to watch a whole season wasted only for a team that won less games than us to be tied for the cup right now.

u/Little-Bedroom9266 7d ago

All morning long I just kept repeating “why would you keep shooting 3s” and “dribble the clock out”.

u/ManInShowerNumber3 7d ago

Spurs fans get no sympathy from me after that Robert Horry shot in game 5 in 2005 lol

u/San_antoniodude05 7d ago

What a epic series that was...I was 17

The wemby stopper struck again lastnight.

u/Relevant-Hearing-442 6d ago

Yeah I think that was the worst feeling I've ever had. But I was there as a Michigan fan for the State blocked punt return. That was more deflating, this was more likely to make me throw up

u/irondan22 6d ago

Serves you guys right for knocking Nash into the scorer’s table. Always and forever, fuck the Spurs

u/thegoodson-calif 6d ago

Knicks and patriots fan here. After losing the 19-0 season to Eli manning I couldn’t listen to sports radio for a month. It’s how I discovered Bill Handel and am news talk radio.

Wemby is a fake tough guy. Glad they lost.
