Did the Celtics win over the Knicks prove they might actually have a Finals run in them this year? Adam and Ountae open the show by asking whether Boston’s latest statement win should change expectations for how far this roster can go. From there they get into the newest Zubac chatter, what the Clippers reportedly want, and whether moving Anfernee Simons and draft capital is finally worth it to stabilize the frontcourt for a real playoff push. The guys debate how much a reliable big would raise Boston’s ceiling, how the team should value late first round picks, and which centers around the league could make an immediate impact if Brad Stevens gets aggressive at the deadline. They also examine Giannis’ uncertain situation in Milwaukee, the possibility of Boston sliding in as a third team to offload salary, and Chris Paul’s abrupt exit from the Clippers. All that plus Wicked or Kick It and the best NBA games to watch this weekend. Catch it all on the latest episode of Hold My Banner hosted by Adam Kaufman and Ountae Campbell.
