Hugo Gonzalez turned heads in the Celtics' preseason opener, bringing energy, defense, and a highlight dunk that lit up social media. Boston’s win over Memphis gave us early glimpses of what this team could be. Jaylen Brown and Derrick White looked sharp, the pace was faster, and surprise starters like Xavier Tillman Sr. and Chris Boucher raised questions about the rotation.

We dive into what matters, what doesn’t, and how players like Gonzalez and Josh Minott might push for real minutes. Then it’s Mailbag time with bold takes on Jaylen Brown trades, Pritchard hype, and whether Boston has enough size.

Later, we react to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s comments about staying in Milwaukee and what they really mean for the Bucks. Plus, we close with a quick NBPA guessing game.

All that and more on Hold My Banner with Adam Kaufman and Ountae Campbell.
