Re: Playoff moments that hurt so bad, you wanted to cry?

Bears in 01 and went 13-3 and just got demolished by the Eagles..The worse part was that they immediatly started to knock down Soldier Field.

Superbowl XLI...Amazing start that went downhile fast

I was too hyped when Hester ran back a TD on the opening kickoff...then "the ship be sinkin"

The Bears were living on the edge that year though, weren't they? Think they won a ton of games late in the 4th quarter or overtime. They were hardly dominant.

Yeah, we won a lot of games by pur luck that season.

Are you kidding me?!

Blowing the 2-0 lead in the ECF to Chicago in '93
The Reggie Miller game (damn you Anthony Mason)
Ewing's bricked finger roll
John Starks going colder than ice in Game 7 the '94 Finals
The PJ Brown/Charlie Ward fight that left half the Knicks' roster suspended and cost them the series.

And two words......Charles Smith....



Man the Knicks have by far given me more painful memories than any other of my favorite sports teams.

In response to the Knicks

1993 I was so caught up with crying over Paxson after my brother made fun of me for rooting for the Suns
1994, It never would've been for me, as i was in my home country for my maternal grandmother's last days. It was my mom and myself.
The Fights that was mere stupidity as that "moment" wasn't decided by a ball and a court
1995. see Mario Elie.

95, 97 and 07 Indians.

They all should have been champs. They all choked *well, I guess except for the 95 team, but that team was so damn talented...I consider it a choke job.*

Not the playoffs, but 06 CFB MNC game.

Game 4 from the Eastern Conference Championship in the 08-09 NBA Playoffs.

Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS. Cubs v. Marlins.

I think most would claim the infamous Bartman ball was the turning point in the game, but Alex Gonzalez could've ended the inning, instead bobbling a double-play ball for an error. Game 7 didn't matter. Once the Marlins took the lead in Game 6 the series was over.

Another ironic and painful aspect, Alex Gonzalez was the Cubs' most clutch player throughout the season, and was a fantastic infielder.

And they haven't broken .500 since, right? It's sad to see how that franchise has gone downhill. They have such a great history.

This year will be their 18th straight losing season. I keep saying that I'm going to go 20 then I'm out!

Hang in there. Hopefully things turn around for you guys one day. At least you've got the Steelers and Penguins, right?

Back on topic...I remember being a Duke basketball junkie when I was about 10 or 11 and I loved Bobby Hurley. I was really upset when they lost to California in the 2nd round of the 1993 NCAA Tournament (pretty big upset...Cal was an 8 or 9 seed IIRC), derailing their shot at a 3-peat. Hurley played his heart out, had 32 points and hit a bunch of threes, but he couldn't quite get them over the top in that one. Think it was Jason Kidd's coming-out party also. He was great for Cal that year.

Re: Playoff moments that hurt so bad, you wanted to cry?

Jason Kidd was NBA ready out of HS, albeit I haven't seen the game in a while but his performance at the McDonald's AA game was the best I have ever seen. I remember that game too for the most part, didn't they also have Lamont Murray, that was a good Cal team.
