They just put up the Western Conference Schedule before the Lakers game and for the LA/OKC line it said "Lakers win series 3-1".

They're talking about the regular season.

Hmm. They didn't have any other of the western conference match ups listing the season series. Just the time and date of the next game.

OKC will beat LA.
Cleveland will not make the finals.
How's that for balls?

Well I was half right, and OKC will go down as the biggest challenge LA had in these POs.

Heading into the Finals...
