Does the NBA make you 'spit the dummy'?

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Maybe it due entirely to the team I follow, but Ive had some fairly memorable dummy spits over the past few years.

1. Game 6 NBA Finals, 2006: I angrily power walked around the house for 2 laps, looking for something to **** up. I found a madarin, walked into the back fence, got a running start and hurled it into the opposing garage wall 10 metres away.

2. Game 5 NBA Finals, 2006: Intended to watch the tape delay replay at 8.30pm, accidentally found out the result (1 point loss) courtesy of a random dick brain at 6.45pm, causing me to hurl my dinner (bucket of KFC, original recipe) in to the wall.

3. Game 6 Round 1, 2007: At coclusion of game, did another angry power walk to Hungry jacks (15 minutes away). Upon re-entry into household, closed the gate with excess vigour causing a disjuncture in the hinges.

4. 2002/3: Lost to Lakers after leading by 27 at 3/4 time. Launched racially-laden barage at TV with window open as very pleasant Indian neighbours were passing by.

5. Game 7 WC Semi-Finals 2006: Following game against Spurs on computer at uni (had an exam). Notice we are big (20ish) during the 2nd Q. Leave for class with peace of mind. Arrive back to computer, see scoreboard and notice we are down 3 with 25 secs left. In a very quiet yet packed computer lab I yell "Oh f**k" in a similar fashion to a TAB derolict who has just lost his money, slam my bag down on the table and leave for 15 minutes assuming we had lost.

I had a similar thing in last seasons grand final. Had a maths exam that day and was watching the lakers smash the celtics, up by like 24 i left for school in the best mood ever thinking we were going to level the series 2-2, then come out and look on the computers and saw Celtics won and well i was more just shattered than angry

Hey don't forget the time your broke your XBOX when NBA2k9 wasn't as good as you thought it would be (even though it is). That's not even real man, and you STILL cracked the shits.

From last season:
1. Losing to the Knicks early last season after being up 10 in the 4th quarter.
2. Losing to the Suns in the first of the back-to-back game against them, after being up 20 in the half.
3. Losing to the Seattle Sonics (now OKC!) in OT after being up 8 in that quarter, and also knowing that the fact we thrashed them and scored 168 in the game against them before.

Now:
1. Anytime Anthony Carter enters the court. Gives me the impression now that this is in Carter's mind: "now that there's no more Allen Iverson, it is ANTHONY CARTER TIME!"
2. Anytime i see George Karl.

I do probably take this shit too seriously.

Derek Fisher hitting that 3 with 0.4 seconds to go cost us a championship.i was going off my nut when timmy hit the go-ahead jumper and then lost the plot when fisher got that shot

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Yeah so did I actually. I hate the Lakers and went skitz when Duncan hit that crazy shit

Although I think Fisher's shot was just a long 2

As soon as we lost this game I got up walked outside and smashed my phone into the ground so hard that it went into a thousand pieces.

But yeah I reckon following the Mavs would have a lot to do with it

Doesn't annoy me anywhere near as much as footy - there is waaay too many games, lose today? Play again tomorrow!

Game 7 of the playoffs would be the only thing that makes me go nuts, but it's not like the Hawks are ever on TV so an angry gamecast is the best I can do.

2001 NBA Finals Game 1. Mutumbo missing 2 free throws to win the game. Wasn't f***ing happy at that stage. Pretty sure there was something flying.

When Iverson was traded. I was believing for the 2 weeks prior that he wasn't leaving...ultimate denial. Then when he was...wasn't smart to be around me

when jfk was shot
when neil armstrong walked on the moon
when fisher hit that shot

i remember where i was for 1 of those 3. sitting in the old mans office watching play by play. spurs up, then page refreshes and for some reason it showed the final score as a lakers win. i was shaking uncontrollably.

on the more negative side i lost it watching wade get some nice calls in the 06 finals

Classic! I remember i faked a sicky that day to get out of school to watch it and when tim duncan hit that shot i thought that was just bullshit, a once in a life time shot from him and cracked it, but then when fisher hit that shot I just kept running around the house celebrating
