    for me they were:

    1.) that game 6 John Stockton 3 pointer and karl malone bear hug that killed us.. i was depressed for almost a year, and i hope tonight T-Mac exacts revenge on the Jazz's homecourt with a similar 3 pointer... :mad:

    2.) seeing dream in a raptor uniform.. :mad: :(

    3.) charles barkley's premature injury that ended his career :(

    4.) game 7 blowout loss vs dallas...

    I would go with the Game 7 Blowout against Dallas, I actually shed a tear when that happened, no joke.

    I didn't witness the stockton 3 pointer, because I was at some stupid prom with my ex-girl! But the DJ announced it and the night was over for me.

    The whole Dalls series and how it all turned around. The Utah series was very painful, but we had won the titles couple of years back.

    wins in these series would have probably got us the championship but we just could not get them.

    When we had the big 3 of Charles, Clyde and Hakeem and stockton and malone ended our season with that 3. I wanted to put my foot through the TV.

    game 7 last year was a massive disapointment.

    ive had more time to get over others.

    but to pretty much have the game and series in the palm of your hand - only to not be able to close it out in the fashion that it transpired - just very sad times.

    The bear hug. I have never been so pissed at referees than at that moment.

    the stockton 3 pointer for me. The blowout to the Dallas was also very hurtful, but nothing compares to that look Charles had when we lost to utah :mad:.

    Stockton's buzzer 3 in Game 6.

    I was 14 at the time and it was my first truly crushing moment as a sports fan. I was at the game too...upper deck, behind Stockton as he shot...perfect angle. I had a feeling it was good the moment it left his hand.

    :(

    Very good thread :)

    For me the most painful moments were...:

    1)Lose to Utah in Game 7 after being up 2-0 after first 2 games
    2)I remember when T-Mac went down with his back injury 2nd season in a row (in December in Washington) it was also very painfull....
    3) Ofcourse lose to Dallas after another great start

    Stockton's gw to send his team to the Finals.

    I lost sleep over that. Not to mention my hatred for the Jazz ever since then. If theres one team that just about everyone will agree to hate upon, its the Utah Jazzholes.

    Over the years we've had some disappointing ones, but I still can't get over Stockton hitting the big three. IMO, Charles didn't rotate fast enough, of coarse the bear hug, and the refs "no call". It hurt most because we had the big three, and I couldn't envision anyone beating us. The Jazz have been on my "most hated" list ever since, and they still won't go away. Stockton and Malone are gone, but now the have Boozer and Williams. It's time! to send Utah home for the summer!

    1. I'm at the Summit in 1981 watching Bird and the Celtics clinch the title in Houston. Bird hit a big three pointer near the end that clinched it even though he didn't play very well all series long.

    2. The double overtime loss to Seattle in game 7 of the semi's after Hakeem missed one of 2 free throws, the ref's didn't call goal tending and our point guard fouled out on a phantom call. This was a game and series we should have one, maybe we would have won 3 in a row!

    3. Watching that loser Scottie Pippen in a Rockets uniform
