This seems like a nice parallel seeing how most of us are in Portland...

Lets say you're the kind of person who enjoys strip clubs.  And lets say you visit your local Acrop or equivalent one fine afternoon to find two stages.  A dance is starting at either stage.  What do you do?  Do you:

1. Go to the stage where our lady friend is immediately removing all costume apparel in the first song?  That would be instant gratification.  As the last item goes flying off into the front row, you sit and smirk at the unfortunate patrons at the other stage who are subjected to the still partially clothed (although maybe more attractive) entertainment.  Those suckers may never see the goods, and it's obvious to you that you made the right choice before the first song even ends.
2. Or perhaps you prefer to visit the stage where a garment comes off early, then another in the next song, and although you had to wait for it, it just keeps getting better and better right up to the final song.  Now instead of seeing the same routine over and over (with the exeption of the occasional added titillating move in later songs), you've had a significant improvement to look forward to for each number played.  And if you sized up the talent correctly while they were clothed, the last song was worth waiting for since you positioned yourself front and center for a mind blowing acrobatic performance.

Oh, and the idea was not to actually picture Durant and Oden as the strippers.  That kind of ruins the whole concept.  Good luck shaking that visual.
