What is more probable to happen in the NBA Playoffs: Option 1 or Option 2

Option 1:
The Road Team Manages to win Games 6 and 7 of the NBA Finals

Option 2:
A team comes back from a 3-0 deficit to win the series?

Option 1?

Option 1.

Option 2, you would still have to win 1 on the road, so it really comes down to,1 Road game > 1 road game and 2 home games

............................Option 1. Which is tougher, having to win four straight (two of which are on the road and those road games might be games 6 and 7) or having to win 2 straight?

I voted Option 2 just to mess with this stupid question.

Option 1: More probable considering the team has already shown it was good enough (by lasting this long) to at least win Game 6 and perhaps Game 7.

Option 2 will never happen.

It's worth noting that option 1 specifies Finals only, whereas option 2 specifies any playoff game. Because there are 15 playoff series each year and only one Finals, there are many more chances at option 2. Moreover, option 1 specifies that it must be the road team coming back from a 3-2 deficit, so it's twice as restrictive.

That said, I'll still take option 1 as more likely, but not by as much as the posts here would indicate.

Option 1 - The Pistons nearly did this in 05.
