00:00OKC after winning game one by 51 131 80 is a 14 and a half point favorite for game two tonight

00:08against the Grizzlies total at 229 total for game one was 232 stayed well under because Memphis only

00:16scored 80 Donna you expect this game to be closer I think the question is how close tonight is it

00:23even within single digits I do believe it is I honestly do like the line opened up at 13 and a

00:29half it did move the 14 and a half because the public perception is this series is already over

00:32and quite frankly it might be I don't think anybody's anticipating even if the game was closer

00:36in game number one that we're still gonna have a long series getting even more past game number five

00:40I think that's probably where it ends because I think there's a legitimate chance that Memphis can

00:44steal a game but that's going to be predicated on what we see tonight which again an embarrassing

00:48fashion in game number one they lost you might say they had some tired legs now this should be

00:52rebounded into the series and play better basketball and I would agree with that so there's a correlation

00:57set for me tonight where you think SGA is gonna have a good game he typically does and of course

01:01the fans of the sports book puts his prop there at 31 and a half which is exactly where he usually

01:06lands but if I'm looking from the Grizzlies perspective there's no point in my mind tonight

01:10that I think they can hang around this game without John Morant having a big night it's like your

01:14thought process between Cade Cunningham there's not a correlation between Cade playing okay and then

01:18beating the Knicks inside their own building no you expect your best player to have his best game and not

01:23even a matter of fact to win the game just to keep your team in the hunt and be competitive that's

01:28all I'm asking tonight for the Memphis Grizzlies John Morant said as much as I said early in the show

01:32before that excuse me in the post-game press conference we're never going to play that bad

01:35again do you know what that means the onus is on John Morant which he could come out in this game

01:39and score 35 points they can still get beat by 35 so I love John Morant 22 and a half over at a

01:45minus 104 price in my mind John can't have 13 points and 10 assists and 9 rebounds and then hang around

01:51he's got to be in the mid-20s I think that happens so I will take Memphis getting 14 and a half but

01:57also that correlation of if they hang around Ja's having a good game and he's in the mid-20s tonight

02:02for me Ben
