Is it foolish to get excited about leads in the NBA?

[fearless]

Some of us are still recovering from the Rockets game last night. The Rockets were outscored 34-14 in the fourth when it looked like the game was all wrapped up. The night before, the Hornets were up 89-72 at home against the Bucks with 4 minutes left and they ended up needing a miracle tap in to win the game.

Yes

Game isn't over til the 4th quarter clock says 0:00

NBA: "Where amazing happens"

[smitch124]

Absolutely, and even more so when the home team falls behind.

Yeah, definitely no use getting ramped over leads. It's not over till' the boxscore says final. It's to the point where if I bet an untelevised game I won't even check the score till' it's over.
