The Celtics just blew a game they should have won against the 76ers and now the Knicks are waiting to test whether Boston can handle the pressure. A 117-116 home loss exposed cracks in Boston’s late-game execution and defense. VJ Edgecombe’s surprise 34-point debut showed there are new challenges the Celtics must contain. Can Joe Mazzulla’s team bounce back at Madison Square Garden?
Adam and Ountae break down Jaylen Brown’s frustration over the final possession, Derrick White’s third-quarter takeover, and Tyrese Maxey’s 40-point performance that left Boston searching for answers. They also look ahead to the Knicks matchup and how the Celtics must adjust to New York’s pace, size, and physicality.
Then the show takes a turn off the court with shocking news about former Celtics Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier who were arrested in a reported Mafia-linked betting scandal. Legal Sports Report’s Sam McQuillan joins to explain the charges, possible fallout, and what this could mean for the NBA’s integrity policies.
To wrap things up it is Wicked or Kick It as Adam and Ountae judge NBA tunnel fits from Jaylen Brown, SGA, and Victor Wembanyama before revealing their League Pass games to watch.
All that and more on Hold My Banner hosted by Adam Kaufman and Ountae Campbell featuring Sam McQuillan of Legal Sports Report.
