Oklahoma City Thunder about to make NBA history?

The line's out in Vegas and I think it's gonna hold:

Oklahoma City Thunder -1.5 over the Lakers

Has a 8th seed ever been favored over a one seed before?

I can't remember it happening before. Even the Mavs were favorites for all three games at the Warriors when the Warriors beat them in 6 games.

Oklahoma City is a monster of a team, if they could shoot 3's better they'd beat anyone.

They are getting a lot of respect for sure. Still would say Lakers take this in 5 games.

I remember the 8th-seeded Knicks were slight favorites in their home games vs. top-seeded Miami in 1999, when the Knicks made an improbable run to the finals and lost to the Spurs.

Like everything else from 1999 that has to have an asterisk, right?

Would this be the first time an 8th seeds been a favorite over a one seed in after a full NBA season?

Brock is correct, this team can easily win this series, Durant is harder to stop than James also
