73-9.
They were up 3-1 and were on their home floor.

Finally, someone with a decent memory.
However, I do agree that 18-1 was the biggest choke just because of the optics.

18-1.
Warriors easily could've lost to OKC, they were not historically great once the playoffs rolled around.

Gonna say 73-9. Warriors choked harder the Pats given that they had a 3-1 series lead, IMO.
Plus you got Curry who's putting up video game stat lines all season just to take the finals off. :lol
73-9 easy
I agree in the optic sense as well, but you would have been foolish after game 4 to think that Cavs were going to win while there was plenty of reasons to think the Super Bowl would be a close game
The Pats in the playoffs struggled to put away a mediocre Jags team and a Chargers team with their QB playing on a broken ankle.
Do people only remember weeks 1-11 of the Pats season? After that point the wear and tear of the season was clearly getting to them and they almost lost more than twice.

To come back from 3-1 deficit in the previous series only to give up a 3-1 lead to CLE, 73-9 by far

Warriors, definitely.
Like everyone said: Best regular season record ever, up 3-1, had two games at home. And they just had their own amazing comeback against the Thunder.
Didn't they beat the Cavs in all their regular season games too?

You can never count out a team with LeBron James on it and the Pats had no reason to lose that game. People would have argued if the 73-9 Warriors were the best team even if they won a championship, nobody would have denied the pats were the best had they won.

Warriors definitely choked. Curry's hype proved to be more than he could ever live up to when all was said and done. When he got challenged, really challenged, he wilted under the pressure. He was outclassed.

73-9. After Golden State went up 3-1 they had Cleveland up against a wall and I think most NBA fans and probably Cavs fans thought it was over considering no team in NBA history had ever come back to win the title after being down 3 games.

18-1. Golden State looked anything but dominant in the playoffs, and lost a series lead.
People were so sure that the Pats were going to go down as the greatest team ever, that someone wrote a book about Pats perfection before the game was even played. They were dominant pretty much all season long, playoffs included. One amazing catch by Tyree later, the Pats were done.

The Patriots... I am saying that as a Giants fan. Although we almost beat them in week 17, we lost in the end of it all.
I believe what hurt the Warriors was not having Green for his stupidity in the previous games by trying to kick opponents. Also not having Bogut for the last game hurt their defense... They were not in full strength to beat the Cleveland.
Lastly the magic threes of Curry were not going in... lol
PS: I am Knicks fan... Now Knicks need to win this somehow. >_<

18-1 is always, and forever, the chokiest choke of all time - and the most satisfying.
2004 stings the worst.

More like 2004 ALCS
Glad someone agrees!
It really does. I still get angry thinking about it.

2004 ALCS wasn't for the WS title.
As horrible as that was (and I'm a Yankees fan), 18-1 was for the *title*, with Brady even casually laughing off the idea that he could lose or fail to score tons.

Draymond just couldn't keep his arm off Lebron's balls
Seriously, all you needed to do was put together an amazing D line effort that puts constant pressure without blitzing...dunno why everyone didn't do that.

18-1. Easily the best team in the league that season, with the best QB and Coach duo ever, and they get trounced by Couglin and Gomer Pyle? Warriors can eat least say they lost to LeBron.
I think that's the difference.
Cheating yet no proof lol, patriots had no business winning 10 or more games in the last three seasons and yet they still come through...

Warriors blew it and they should feel awful.
That said they were squaring up against one of the best of all time at the top of his game. Needless to say that is not the case with that Giants team.

73-9. Teams get upset in football all the time. Not so much in basketball. Especially not teams that win 73 games and was up 3-1.
Doesn't change the fact that I am right. Especially given how the Giants played the Pats a month before. GS didn't lose on a fluke play. They got beat straight 3 times.
How was it stupid? The Giants own the Pats and that is a fact.
