Most Painful Losses


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty much in the same situation as CMS, although the Sixers loss in 01 definitely sucks since I was a fan of the Raptors at the time, although not to the degree I am now considering I was 9 years old then. I would say that is still the most painful loss of my time as a sports fan, though.

 

Outside of that, though, the sports teams I have followed have been too crappy to have any sort of expectations for so no losses have really been painful.

 

The Blue Jays haven't made the playoffs since I started watching them.

 

The Leafs had some decent teams early in the 00's but were never really contenders, although the overtime loss in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Carolina hurt considering it was such a surprising run to the ECF's in the first place. Considering the injuries they had and how relative no name players like Alyn McCauley really stepped up without guys like Mats Sundin and Mikael Renberg in the lineup for most of the playoffs. It also hurt because Sundin scored with around 20 seconds left in the game to tie it, only to lose 8 minutes into overtime, which was also the 3rd overtime loss of the series for the Leafs.

 

And then you have the Raptors, which are obvious. They have sucked too much to have painful losses.

Memphis vs. Kansas in the National Championship. Nothing else comes even close. First time I really cried over a sport, and that image of Chalmers hitting that shot didn't leave my mind for weeks. None of the other teams I root for have ever been successful enough for me to experience a painful lose. Losing the series to OKC in the second round this year sucked, but I saw it coming. Real Madrid losing to Barcelona this year in the Champions League was pretty painful because I know we would of had a really good chance of winning if it wasn't for that bullshit flop by Alves that got Pepe a red card.
