Discussion Who choked worse the 2016 OKC Thunder or 2018 Rockets?

[DominicanDancecel91]

Which NBA playoff series was a bigger choke?

-The 2016 OKC Thunder blew a 3-1 lead to the Warriors. They were up by 10 with 3 minutes remaining in Game 6 AT HOME, they were up by 7 with 2 minutes remaining, KD and Westbrook choked and they lost Game 6, ultimately leading them to lose game 7 and the series.

-The 2018 Houston Rockets blew a 3-2 lead also to the Warriors. They were up by 17 in Game 6 with a 39-22 lead and the Warriors outscored them 93-47 from that point to blow them out in Game 6. Then they had a 15 point lead in halftime and missed 27 threes in a row (refs were involved with some no calls) and lost the series in a huge heartbreak.

I would say the rockets because missing that many 3pt shots (when you are a good 3pt team) is basically unheard of.

sure the Okc team was a choke, but Gsw has a lot of fire power and they can quickly erase a double digit lead as they have done many times.

Thunder because it made Durant pussy out and join the team that beat him

OKC, I never for a second believed in the Rockets.
