Dee Brown Breaks Down Celtics vs Magic: Should Boston Be Worried?
from Hold My Banner Hosted by NESN
Are the Celtics in trouble? Some believe the Magic might pull off the upset no one saw coming. Celtics legend Dee Brown joins this episode to dive deep into the Celtics vs. Magic first-round showdown, breaking down the keys to victory for both teams, whether Orlando’s defense and Paolo Banchero can shock the East, and how many games this series might go. Dee also shares his take on Boston’s playoff run and what it will take to hang another banner in the rafters. Dee opens up in a powerful, wide-ranging conversation about life after knee surgery, his bond with the late Reggie Lewis, and a terrifying moment when he was held at gunpoint by Boston police in a case of mistaken identity. He shares why he chose to stay in the city despite that experience, talks race and community in Boston, and reflects on what he learned from his time under Rick Pitino. We also cover the rest of the playoff picture. Dee breaks down the East contenders, the rise of young teams like the Thunder and Rockets, and whether veterans like LeBron and Steph still have a Finals run left in them. He gives his Finals prediction, MVP pick, and thoughts on how the league’s coaching turnover is changing the game. We close with full previews of Lakers vs. Timberwolves, Knicks vs. Pistons, and Rockets vs. Warriors. Can any underdogs flip the bracket?
