NESN | Former Clippers Duo Kawhi Leonard & Paul George Injured! @NESN | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
We kick things off by discussing the impact of injuries in the preseason and how the Boston Celtics are navigating their path back to the Finals. Will they stay healthy and compete at the highest level? We also head out West to look for the contenders in that conference. Are the Thunder to young to reach the mountaintop?
Next, we turn our attention to the Atlantic Division, starting with the Toronto Raptors. We analyze their offseason moves, realistic season outcomes, and whether their young core of Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley can lead them to success. Can they surpass last year's 25-win mark?
Then, it’s time to dissect the Philadelphia 76ers. How did their offseason shape their championship hopes? With the Paul George injury looming, how nervous should fans be? Plus, we spotlight the sneaky additions that could make a big difference—Travis’ pick is Caleb Martin while Ountae leans toward Reggie Jackson.
In our segment on NBA stories, we share the latest buzz from around the league: Ben Simmons is looking sharp, Lonzo Ball is set to return, and the Wizards are struggling. We’ll also touch on some NBA animosity involving Giannis Antetokounmpo and Josh Giddey, and the dynamic between Donte DiVincenzo, Tom Thibodeau, and Rick Brunson.
As we shift gears to the WNBA, we preview Game 3 of the Finals with the Lynx and Liberty tied at 1-1. Who will take the lead in this pivotal matchup?
Finally, we wrap up with some celebratory thoughts on the Celtics making it through the preseason healthy! The countdown to the season opener begins, and you won’t want to miss our full-blown NBA prediction show next time!
Tune in for all this and more in a jam-packed episode that sets the stage for an electrifying NBA season ahead with your hosts, Travis Thomas and Ountae Campbell! Catch 'Hold My Banner' every Wednesday and Friday on NESN's Youtube, Twitch, Facebook, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
