Lakers and Celtics take center stage as the guys engage in a lively debate over which team has the better chance: will the Lakers make the Finals, or will the Celtics miss the playoffs? One makes the case for the Celtics missing, highlighting stars like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen 

Brown, while the other stands firm on the Lakers' prospects, featuring LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

The discussion then shifts to Payton Pritchard, who boasts the second-best odds for Sixth Man of the Year at 10/1, trailing only Malik Monk. They break down the competition, mentioning players like Miles McBride and Marcus Smart, challenging listeners to "Stop Me When You Hear A Better Player Than… Payton Pritchard."

Finally, they preview the upcoming Celtics at Pacers matchup, sharing their score predictions. Tune in for all this and more! Catch 'Hold My Banner' Hosted by George Balekji and Ountae Campbell every Wednesday and Friday on NESN's Youtube, Twitch, Facebook, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
