Banner Banter Podcast

I recap the trade deadline and how it is going to affect the Celtics not only in this season but in the future too. I try to explain what happened against both LA Teams this week and I stand by Marcus Morris comments post game. I also give you my All Star Weekend predictions because I need something fun to talk about.

A day after another Boston Sports Team wins another World Championship I talk about a crazy up and down week for the Celtics who went to 2 and 1. Celtics hit 9 three pointers in 1 quarter vs the Thunder and it all relates to our Banner Banter investigation from a game in 2001.

It is time to finally talk about regular season basketball. I recap opening week and breakdown not only the Jaylen Brown rookie extension but the big game vs the Bucks this week too. I love how aggressive the Celtics have been defensively but not as much as you will love the first Stud and Dud of the week so far this season.

Celtics have won 6 games in a row, is it because their shooting is better or are they taking better care of the ball, I explain. I discuss the return of Jaylen Brown and the big game from Daniel Theis against the Bulls. I got your Stud and Dud of the week too.

The Celtics 10 game win streak comes to an end and I explain why it happened. I preview the very tough 3 upcoming games on their West Coast Road Trip and why I think Jaylen and Jayson have a great chance to prove themselves. Speaking of Jaylen Brown I talk about why I think he should be an All Star over Jayson Tatum and how bad teams can get when Marcus Smart is on the floor.

The Celtics are currently on a 7 game winning streak and I breakdown all 3 games from their 3-0 road trip. I appreciate the great play from Gordon Hayward and I am heartbroken over the bad news about Gordon Hayward. I also preview the 2 home games and the road 2 games this week. How important will this 5 game road trip be for this team after losing Gordon Hayward and a classic Stud and Dud of the week segment.

Celtics start their 24 games in 44 days on a good note by going 3-0 last week. I talk about Jayson Tatum poor finishing near the rim and why I trust Gordon Hayward more than others on the team. I go on a rant about NBA All Star Voting and why the Celtics shouldn’t go after Andre Drummond. I also preview the 4 games this week and why Enes Kanter playing this is more important than you think. 

Celtics did not have a great week last week and I explain why this upcoming week they will get back to their winning ways.

What is going on with Jaylen Brown’s shooting slump and should Brad change the starting lineup around.

1 week into NBA Free Agency and I don’t think I have recovered from all the changes. I explain the positives and negatives of adding Kemba, Kanter and Poirier. I breakdown all the NBA Free Agency that happened in the Eastern Conference and how it will affect the Celtics. I also give you my thoughts on the first Celtics Summer League game too.

On Episode 62 I explain why it is concerning that Jayson Tatum is only good against bad teams and is no where to be found vs good teams. I breakdown Jaylen Brown’s great week and the return of Gordon Hayward and Marcus Smart. An interesting Stud and Dud of the week and how good the Celtics are when Tatum and Brown combine for 50 or more points. 

I explain why a black eye might be more important than a plane ride for this Celtics team. I talk about the seeding in the playoffs and why the Celtics might not want that 3rd seed. I also have a surprising Banner Banter Investigation for you too.
