Are the Celtics being overlooked heading into the season? Media Day showed a team focused on growth, not outside noise. Joe Mazzulla made it clear he’s sticking to his principles as he leads a reshaped roster through new challenges. Adam and Ountae break down what his approach means for a group still loaded with talent and potential.

They discuss Jayson Tatum’s encouraging recovery update, Anfernee Simons’ surprising comments on defense, and how Payton Pritchard and Jaylen Brown could step into bigger leadership roles with Al Horford now in Golden State.

Plus, what does Horford’s departure mean for the Celtics' identity and frontcourt depth, and should number 42 be retired in Boston?

The Atlantic Division preview continues with fresh thoughts on the Sixers and an in-depth look at where the Nets stand heading into the season.

Tune in to Hold My Banner with Adam Kaufman & Ountae Campbell.
