The even recorded a safety in the game and final winning score was under three TD's. Again, like poster (mentioned) above me, somebody has to win. Because they lost.
Heitz Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 The Night King, Season 8, Game of Thrones? 8 years of build up to winter, only to choke in the big battle...

But man .... from an outsider-looking in perspective, the NBA certainly does seem rigged as hell. What was it last year? Rockets missed something like (27) 3-point attempts in a must win game after being the best 3-point shooting team in the NBA all year? And then this year, Golden State doesn't have Durant, but STILL gets past Houston? Then this whole 76ers choke fest? I dunno, man .... Olympic boxing is starting to look more legit than the NBA.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Not gonna lie. I've heard plenty of people refer to someone or something that comes in second place a lot, but never wins, "The Buffalo Bills of _______."

They perfectly two-man boxed him to the corner and he put up a shot that went 18.5 feet in the air before hitting the front of the fore-rim and somehow rotated forward to hit the rim three more times before falling in. Oh, and Toronto was the favorite playing at home in Game 7 before a raucous crowd. But, yeah, you can call that a choke job. Edited May 13, 2019 by ChevyVanMiller

Less about that and more about the THIRTY-EIGHT other points he put in the bucket. Know what I mean?

I believe the Raptors were favorites heading into the series, they were in a game seven that was close almost all game, and they lost on a buzzer beater. Had they had a 20 point lead late and lost, then yes, that's a bit of a choke job, or if they were the Leafs... If you want to see impressive choking, look at the Ontario Hockey Leagues (OHL) playoffs this year. The winner, the Guelph Storm, came back from 3-0 series deficits twice , and in the finals were down 2 games to 0 against a team that was 12-0 in the playoffs to that point, to win 4 straight to take the championship. At least 3 teams choked against them this year...... 1

Going back to the top... we partied and drank with the SB25 Bills until 1am the Friday before the game. We also left the bar before they did.

Bad Things Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Although I don't follow sailing, I have to say the worst choke I've every seen was the 2013 America's Cup finals. Team New Zealand vs Oracle (USA). Team NZ came out winning the first 8 races of the final series, needing only one more win for the trophy. Unfortunately, Oracle came back winning the next 9 races and the big prize. I swear the entire country of NZ was in silence for about a week, before people moved on from it. (Worst thing about it was that the Oracle boat was skippered by an Aussie!) Let's go Buffalo!

I heart they were doing that the morning of the SB, which is shameful.
