Yea I actually remember seeing that Durant and the Thunder were favored in 2012.

No they weren't. Think about the context at the time. Heat struggled past an old Celtics team in 7 games. Thunder had just won 4 straight games against the Spurs, who had the best record in the NBA that year, and the Thunder also had the HCA.

Wow I always considered the cHeat the fav in those finals. OKC hadn't been there before, and played like it (esp Harden).

But I guess I could see the argument for OKC at the time.

I guess that would explain his (soon-to-be) 3-5 Finals record, eh?

In other words your hero has been padding his legacy / resume / stats against all-time weak EC playoff competition, only to be slapped back down to reality against the 'real' competition in the WC.
