Today’s date is January 19, 2024. Most times, a regular season game in January is not something that can be classified as a “must win”. But things are different tonight. The defending champion Denver Nuggets are coming into the Garden and the Boston Celtics need to rise to the challenge. The Celtics are 20-0 at home this year. Denver is coming off a loss to Philly earlier this week. Denver will be ready for this game. If the Celtics are unable to beat Denver tonight, they will not be ready to do it in the playoffs either. Tonight is a MUST WIN! We discuss it today on The Sports Machine with Slim. Of course, we also have the NFL Playoff action for this coming weekend covered. Our resident Sports Talk Caller Experts fill the phone lines today to help us break down the games. On top of that, we have our expert hockey caller on to discuss the 5-2 Bruins win from last night. Pasta had a hat trick!
