Often times, the underdog is overachieving, and fans know that the ride could/probably will end at any time

Being on the wrong end of an upset in the finals really sucks.

A less lopsided question would be which would delight a fan more, courtside tickets to game 7 of the NBA Finals on their own home court, cheering on their home team or a night with Jessica Alba.

Ha, that one guy who said, "I'd take 3-4 hours of pleasure over 3-4 seconds of pleasure." Then some guy was like, "Hey, games are normally 2-3 hours not 3-4 seconds!"

That thread is so jokes.

Losing game 7 in the Finals hurts more than anything even if you are not at home. you are RIGHT THERE! You've battled your way to the top and you fall short at the very end. :noway:

Well for the Alba question...

Will I be poking fetus? Or is this prime Jessica Alba?

Anyway, I've sort of seen both. In the NHL, I'm a New Jersey Devils fan, and although game seven wasn't on home ice in 2001 cup finals, we won game 5 in Colorado and game six was in Jersey. We lost games six and seven, and watching game seven was extremely difficult.

Last year, I was rooting for the Cavs(big LeBron fan), and at first I thought maybe, just maybe they could win. But eventually, it just became, "Yeah okay we're not winning"
