Doubtful. It will be looked on as the passing of the torch from the Spurs and Lakers of the 00s to the Thunder/Heat of the 10s. I've seen that theme pop up a couple times already from different NBA sources, so that's probably the message they want to push.
absolutely
They won't. They will win games 6 and 7. I bet the next poster's life on it.
Damnit!
No, I don't see how you can say absolutely. It became evident midway through game 5 that the thunder were the better team. Maybe some of the spurs bench guys are choking, but the thunder are simply better right now.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Anytime you're up 2-0 and lose a series, it's a choke job no matter who you are. I wasn't one of those who thought the Spurs were one of the greatest teams of all time after Game 2, so I don't think it's a colossal choke job. The Thunder are a good team.

you can try and reset expectations but then there would NEVER be a choke job. this was the #1 team in the league w/ a 20-game win streak, by all accounts at 2-0 a lock for the NBA finals. To lose 3 in a row now is a complete choke job.

because on this forum the spurs were literally being compared to and called one of the greatest teams of all time. a dynasty. and they probably won't even get out of the West.
how the spurs finished the season is why everybody made best team ever claims, etc. in reality, they finished a couple games ahead of okc. disappointment, yes. choke, no.
If the Spurs lose game 6, yes. If they lose in 7, no.

What's the difference? In either scenario they will lose the series after being up 2-0. Yes, it will be a choke. Anyone who says otherwise is only fooling themselves.

look at all the jokers on here who answered yes. what an incredibly large hook the OP just used on these dorks.
spurs losing to memphis last year was a choke.
mavs losing to GS in first round couple years back was a choke.
rockets...not sure if they have made the playoffs since dream left.

Well played. But not quite

I think it's a choke job. They have done just that. Both stars and role players.
Pop went with a strategy straight from Mike Sherman's playbook: choke away the second half
Yes, it's a choke.
Up 2-0.
Have the greatest PF of all time.
Have one of the greatest coaches of all time.
Great SG and PG.
Solid supporting cast and role players.
No excuses. It's a choke.

Likely the closest series OKC will play in their 3peat. No one will remember it as a choke except butthurt Muy.
