Good: 2001 NBA ECSF Sixers vs Raptors

That entire series was so nerve racking with so many great performances.

2001 NBA Finals Game 1 is still numero uno for me. Watching highlights from that game still make me feel happy even a decade later and even with the Sixers losing the series.

I don't want to get into it, but if I hear that Miami "let Dallas win" the Finals last year one more time, I'm gonna murder some small children.

Didn't mean it literally my man. Just in a way that they didn't kill the Mavericks you know? Just like in '06 when the Mavericks didn't kill the Heat. The Mavericks definitely deserved the championship last year.

2001 Eastern Conference Finals...Bucks VS 76ers, game 7. I went with my buddy to sit outside the Bradley Center in anticipation of getting finals tickets if the Bucks won. We were first in line at the box office, and had a chance to see the NBA Finals in person. We had a "Big 3" in Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, and Glenn Robinson. Ray Allen leaves the game with a knee injury, and we end up getting crushed 108-91. Iverson and Mutombo killed us.

This was by far the most nerve wracking game I have ever watched. Partly because I am a huge Bucks fan, but mostly because I had a chance to get tickets to the NBA finals. I had saved up enough money that I would have been able to buy really good seats for both home games. I still think about that game all the time. I was SO close to attending the NBA finals. So close!

1989 Seattle SuperSonics at Milwaukee Bucks (nowadays my team is thunder), but the game was 5 OT.
Unfortunately we lost...

I was really young...not even 4 years old:

2002 Western Conference Finals-the final play made the game just so amazing:

Kobe goes for floating layup; Miss
Shaq Offensive Rebound; Putback Shot; Miss

all hope seems lost...but than Divac pokes the ball out to burn time off the clock, and it bounces right to Robert Horry for the buzzer beating 3.

That was pretty amazing to watch just that play and the game.

That one was on my mind too. Like you said, after SHAQ missed the outback and Vlade tipped it out, I really lost all hope. Ha.

Re: The most nerve wracking game you've watched your team play?

The good:

1995 Western Conference Semis. Mario Elie. Kiss of death shot.

1995 NBA Finals Game 1. Kenny Smith getting hotter than cajun peppers. Shout out to Nick Anderson for missing those free throws.

The bad:

1997 Western Conference Finals. All I have to say is John bleepin Stockton!

You weren't even 4 years old when this game happened?

Holy ****, that's terrifying.
