Hypothetically, if it was Game 7 of the finals and it kept being tied over and over again, for hours hours of nom stop play, could it go on forever?

If we assume that the rate that players get tired is linear, then as OT wears on one team will be more tired than the other and their chances of winning each subsequent OT probably decreases. So it's probably less likely than the actual theoretical odds
