Beal vs. LaVine | Who can beat the Thunder in the west?

Another night, another marquee matchup, maybe playoff preview in the NBA. So we had to get Kelly Eco in here. Kelly, the NBA Daily Curse says every time we invite someone who covers a team onto the show, their team loses. And tonight the Rockets won. They beat the Grizzlies, but you also cover the Grizzlies. So technically, no curse. Yeah.

Beal vs. LaVine | Who can beat the Thunder in the west?

I got to ask you, because I'm assuming that this is the question that everyone has on their mind. Right. Did Taylor Jenkins blow the end of this game down the stretch? It's a three point game. Desmond Bain has the basketball and Memphis is in like semi transition rocket scrambling on defense. And Desmond Bain pulls up as Taylor Jenkins is taking the time out. So you tell me, Kelly, did he blow it?

Especially with the way that teams defend now, like when they're up three. You know, you get them in transition. Maybe the guy doesn't remember. But after, I mean, after a timeout, they're just always going to remember. Now, look, man. I don't think Desmond Bain was even going to take that shot, much less make it if that timeout hadn't been called.

Beal vs. LaVine | Who can beat the Thunder in the west?

I mean, they're definitely going to need something. Because, I mean, again, part of this is they had the injuries to start the year on the wing. You know, no Vince Williams. It's been kind of a tough go for them, I think, on the margins, injury-wise. But then also, don't forget, they're basically re-implementing John Rantz as well. So, you know...

I mean, they, they don't want to, they are. And I mean, if this is a playoff series, Dylan Brooks is going to get like 17 texts. If it goes seven games as Albridge and goon was ridiculous in the game, 32 points and 14 rebounds, five assists, and then a clutch block on John Morant on a layup. I mean, as like,
