Can you think of some? To me, 7 game series can be boring if each victory was one with a blowout margin. A lot of 6 game series come down to the last possession or two.
I think I posted this a couple years ago on this board:
What's a better series to watch: A 4 game sweep, but all 4 games are won at the buzzer by the same team, and 3 of the 4 go to overtime, or a 7 game series, but all 7 games are considered "blowouts" in that the average margin of victory is 16.8 points, and the "closest" game ends up being a 9 point win??
Sure, having 3 extra games to watch maybe better, but if all 3 of those games are over by the end of the 3rd, I'd rather only watch 4 games that are each won at the buzzer. IIRC, most of the people that answered that before preferred the 7 game series with blowouts.
