  • Knicks Exposed the Celtics Biggest Weakness in Game 1

    Knicks Exposed the Celtics Biggest Weakness in Game 1
    May 6 2025
    The Celtics blew a 20-point lead in Game 1 and the Knicks made them pay with a 108-105 overtime win that has fans in Boston on edge. We break down how the collapse happened, what the Knicks did to flip the script, and whether the Celtics should be worried heading into Game 2. We also hit the streets outside TD Garden with George Balekji for Banner Talk, where fans give their series predictions, and name their least favorite players. Then we debate whether we’d rather face the Cavaliers or Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. In the West, we preview the Timberwolves vs Warriors series with predictions, key matchups, and a look at who could be the most dominant player. Then we shift focus to teams heading into the offseason. What should the Rockets do to keep climbing? Can the Clippers finally get it right? And are the Pistons building something real or was this year just a fluke? All that and more on this episode of Hold My Banner, hosted by Travis Thomas and Ountae Campbell.

    May 1 2025
    A Celtics vs New York Knicks showdown could be coming, and we’re ready for it. Do the Knicks pose a real threat to Boston? We hit the streets outside TD Garden to hear from Celtics fans and send a message straight to New York. Plus, who is your least favorite Knick of all time? The Celtics just handled the Orlando Magic in five games. We break down what that series showed about Boston’s championship potential and what the Magic need to do this offseason to keep improving. We also look at which playoff teams have the best chance to force a Game 7. Can the Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers, or Houston Rockets extend their seasons? Later, we dive into what’s next for the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers. Will Giannis Antetokounmpo stay in Milwaukee? Can the Lakers build a true title contender around LeBron James and Luka Doncic? Finally, Travis Thomas takes on the challenge of guessing the top 10 NBA jersey sellers for the 2024–25 season.

    Apr 29 2025
    Is the Celtics vs. Magic series about to end tonight, or will Orlando pull off the unthinkable? In this action-packed episode, the guys dive deep into the heart of the NBA playoffs as the first round heats up. They break down the Celtics vs. Magic Game 5 preview, reflecting on key takeaways from Games 3 and 4 and pondering if this could be the Magic's last stand or if they'll go down swinging. With the Warriors holding a 3-1 lead over the Rockets, can Houston keep their season alive? Plus, Travis reveals if he’s still holding faith in his Rockets bet. The Lakers find themselves in a 3-1 hole against the Timberwolves. Will they force a Game 6, or are their playoff hopes all but over? Who could have predicted the Timberwolves would take such a commanding lead? As the Grizzlies eye the future, the crew discusses what they need to do this offseason to return to the top of the West and who might be the right fit for their head coach opening. The Heat’s playoff collapse raises some tough questions about their future. Do they need a full rebuild, or is this just a blip in the road for Heat culture? And with Giannis Antetokounmpo's potential free agency looming, the hosts analyze where the two-time MVP might land next. Could the Knicks, Nets, Heat, or even the Lakers be suitors? The guys also touch on Damian Lillard’s torn Achilles, exploring how it impacts his future and whether he can bounce back to All-Star form.
