HR 4 - The most impressive Celtics championship banner ever?!

The WEEI Afternoons episode opens with a critical assessment of the Boston Red Sox's poor start to the season, highlighting their recent losing streak and lineup changes. The focus quickly shifts to the Boston Celtics, who are praised for their resilience and strong finish to the regular season despite significant injuries and roster turnover. Hosts Andy Hart, Nick Sidsey-Stevens, and Ted Johnson express admiration for the team's depth, particularly Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum's leadership, and highlight the emergence of Kristaps Porziņģis and Derrick White as key contributors. A standout moment comes when Chris Mannix’s bold claim is discussed—that if the Celtics win the championship, it would be the greatest in NBA history due to the team’s improbable rebuild from a depleted roster. The hosts debate the Celtics' playoff path, expressing concern about facing Charlotte in the first round due to their physical style, while also discussing the Bruins' offensive struggles and the potential risks of promoting young prospect James Higgins. The episode closes with a discussion on college basketball, particularly UConn’s Cinderella run and the controversial behavior of South Carolina’s Dawn Staley, contrasting her with UCLA’s positive coaching culture.
