00:00today you have a huge number in Oklahoma City leg 15 at Memphis I cannot blame the books though

00:10because the Grizzlies in game number three were up huge at the break it looked like they were going

00:20to avoid disaster and actually dominate the number one seed in OKC up 26 the Ja Moran injury was

00:30unfortunate but you didn't think it was going to result in this team dropping game three it did

00:38and now Ja is out for game four I know Jay Wyatt I don't blame you I'm right there with you if you

00:45want to talk about the Memphis offseason they have to play at least one more time before they're

00:49officially into their offseason a pick for you anywhere any value in game number four I think

00:56when you look at it is is it's going to be very early on what you're going to get uh out of

01:02Memphis and to me if I'm OKC I'm not playing around I I really like OKC minus three and a half in the

01:09first quarter I think you know the whole the whole thing of like oh we're going to play so much you

01:15know you know the first game without their superstar you know we're going to play so much better they

01:20were up by 30 and they lost I mean they got literally they got outscored I think by 14 in the

01:27third and by I forget the number in in the um in the fourth um and got outscored big in the third

01:33they got outscored 18 points they were up by 30 at the break out of score by 18 points in the third

01:38quarter they did what they played their best basketball early in that game and to me I'm

01:46going minus three and a half first quarter and if I lose that bet I'm doubling back down on that game

01:53live because I think what eventually something will happen the dam will break and this team will not

01:59play for 48 minutes skype jr was absolutely fantastic in the first half I'm we're not getting

02:05that again like this team Oklahoma City has so many weapons they can beat you with and I look at a

02:12team in Memphis that is pure dysfunction the bigger question is is after they lose today and basically

02:21the books are telling you they should get rolled today yeah what happens next in Memphis you got to

02:28get a new coach is it a new GM who gets moved who stays very interesting times in a team in Memphis

02:36a couple of years ago we were talking that they were the future of the Western Conference they were a

02:42two seed they they whooped that trick well they about to get a new trick because they are uh going to be

02:48out for business after today so I really really like the over in this game today at 222 you'll say whoa

02:55Memphis scored 31 second half points without jaw I got you I think that's why we're getting some

03:00value total here in this one 222 Memphis actually in the 32 regular season games they played without

03:05John Morant averaged more points per game than the 50 that job did play in Memphis will keep the pace

03:12about them they will be bombing away from three and I think they'll do their part with Oklahoma City

03:17who offensively today I think is better over the course of four quarters than they were in game

03:23at number three I really like this total on the Memphis side of it though Jay Y
