  • Why the Celtics Biggest Problem Is Getting Harder to Ignore

    Why the Celtics Biggest Problem Is Getting Harder to Ignore
    Dec 18 2025
    The Celtics might be winning, but are they quietly revealing the one flaw that could end their title hopes. Boston’s small ball success is put under the microscope as the discussion turns to rebounding issues, roster versatility, and whether the front office has to add a real big before the trade deadline. The conversation also dives into Jaylen Brown’s consistency, the growing pressure on Derrick White and Payton Pritchard, how opponents are adjusting physically, a full breakdown of the NBA Cup and what it really means, plus Wicked or Kick It, game previews, and what’s next for Boston as the season heats up. This episode is from Hold My Banner hosted by Adam Kaufman & Ountae Campbell.

  • Who Can Stop the Celtics in the Eastern Conference?

    Who Can Stop the Celtics in the Eastern Conference?
    Dec 16 2025
    Is there actually anyone in the Eastern Conference capable of stopping the Celtics when it matters most? Adam Kaufman and Ountae Campbell take a step back to examine Boston’s true competition in the East, how recent performances shape the conversation around Jaylen Brown, and why the Celtics’ flaws are often misunderstood. The discussion shifts to trade season with reactions to Bleacher Report proposals involving Payton Pritchard, Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott, and a potential Myles Turner deal, plus whether any of those moves genuinely raise Boston’s championship ceiling. The episode wraps with a league wide debate on which retired NBA players could realistically return and contribute today, along with a look at the best games to watch during a light NBA slate.

  • Can the Celtics Keep Winning Like This?

    Can the Celtics Keep Winning Like This?
    Dec 11 2025
    Is the Celtics sudden surge actually sustainable or are we getting fooled by a hot stretch before the schedule tightens? This episode digs into Boston’s rapid climb up the East standings, how much Jayson Tatum’s looming return changes their ceiling, and whether the Celtics physicality and paint scoring issues will catch up to them in a playoff series. Adam and Ountae dig into whether trading Derrick White for Jonathan Kuminga actually makes sense, what each side would gain or lose, and whether Brad Stevens could be positioning this roster for an even bigger move. They also hit the Bucks drama, Giannis’ future, the chaos of the NBA Cup, and how close the Thunder are to becoming an all-time great team. Plus a new round of Wicked or Kick It featuring some truly wild fits. Catch it all on Hold My Banner hosted by Adam Kaufman & Ountae Campbell.
