What's the toughest sports loss you've ever experienced?

[Nilocon165]

Tonight I'm in a position for my team to blow a 3-1 lead, so what's the toughest sports loss ever for yall?

2015 Cavs was one for me. Not like they really ever had a chance but I was fully convinced they were gonna win that series and the lebron haters would finally shut up

OSU lost back to back national championship games in football and basketball in around the early to late 2000's

OSU also lost to MSU at home last year which had me pissed off for like a week

Indians blowing a 3-1 lead to the yankees

1. You're probably too young to even remember that

2. We ALL know that isn't the the toughest loss for you

Easily the Celtics losing to the Lakers in the 2010 NBA Finals. Nothing else in my life even comes close. Game 7 was completely within reach and they just outright choked it away. Nothing more infuriating than watching LA get all the rebounds and make all the big shots in that 4th quarter.

dude already threw in the towel..........pathetic.........

Yeah that must have sucked considering their lead early in the game.

Feels good to win our only finals game 7

Falcons 49ers NFC Championship game. Roddy got MUGGED on 4th and everyone knew it. We were robbed.

people seem to forget this, but score-wise the cavs came within a whisker of winning the first three games. i doubt even the mighty warriors would have been able to come back from an 0-3 hole.


for me, i guess it would be jason kidd's nets losing to the spurs around 2002. they had their chances in that series, but san antonio just had too much talent, or something like that.


cain losing to werdum in the thin air of mexico city was also a huge bummer. but i'm looking forward to the rematch, when i'm very confidant he's not going to gas like last time.

The Tuck Rule will always be the hardest loss in my opinion. Such an obvious fumble. Such a horrible call that the rule is not even a ****ing rule anymore. That one play had some devastating and lasting effects. It legitimately cost the Raiders a Super Bowl AND Jon Gruden. Tom Brady would not be who he is today without this gift of a SB.

Then who knows, maybe Jon Gruden stays with the Raiders, and they win the SB again the following year. Then maybe Woodson never leaves, and the Raiders don't suck for the next 15 years.

Second, would have to be the Warriors losing last season. It was so ****ed that Draymond got suspended AFTER THE GAME, and then still coming down to the final minute of game 7. That one will hurt for a while.

Lastly, the Oakland Athletics tanking in the second half of the 2014 season, only to blow a 6 run lead to the sh!tty Royals who exposed Jon Lester's inability to hold runners on. The team then proceeds to blow up a championship caliber roster and I've hated baseball sense.

2006 Mavs - nothing else comes close

2011 probably would've never happened though. That was magical.

ITT: Losers who've never played sports competitively so their "toughest sports loss" is actually as a fan

Go outside dude.

You're a bandwagoning homo anyways. You were never a fan of the Indians before this year. **** off.

Bengals completely falling apart in the final minutes of the wild card game last season against the Steelers.
