One week to go: The Boston Celtics are entering their final week of the pre-season.  It is just the exhibition NBA season, but thus far, the Celts have looked good and the fans (those who watched) have to be pleased with what they see.  How will this translate to the regular season which begins in ten days? The returning Larry H. Russell tries to answer this question the best he can while also giving his own player outlook for this season. Bob Ryan of The Boston Globe returns to the featured guest chair once again and takes some rapid fire questions from LHR.  Questions include: What’s the best and worst case with Boston in 2017?

Three NBA pre-season games are in the books for the Boston Celtics, and there have been some decent takeaways.  So much so that we actually have a mailbag this week on Celtics Beat.  Justin Poulin of Celtics Stuff Live, sits in this week for Larry H. Russell to discuss the opening slate of pre-season basketball. Jeff Clark, founder of CelticsBlog joins Justin in Suday’s featured segment to talk about what they’ve seen thus far in the pre-season.  Such as how the floor spacing created by Horford has really benefited Jaylen Brown and Isaiah Thomas, the battle for the final roster spot and whether or not the Celtics can beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the regular season.

Every year on Celtics Beat, we delve into the history of the NBA’s most legendary franchise...the Boston Celtics! This year, during the off-season, we individually profile a player rather than a specific game.   Jo Jo White returns to the airwaves to talk about his career as a Celtic, how hard it was to come to a team that just lost Bill Russell and going about to establish its own championship pedigree of its own.  How relevant is that to today as this current group of Celtics, where after the departure of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, Boston is now clearly on a similar upward path?   And speaking of KG, it goes about saying there will be some reflection on his career following his retirement.   It’s all on this week’s Celtics Beat.

The end of the primer series marks the end of the NBA off-season.  With the Boston Celtics training camp set to open next week, it’s is the last show of the summer of Celtics Beat.  And we wrap up the primer series with the Atlanta Hawks with Chris Vivlamore.  There’s been a lot of talk about what the addition of Al Horford will do for the Celtics.  But what about his loss to the Hawks? That has gone under the radar, but safe to say, it won’t this week. Kevin Pelton of ESPN also returns to the airwaves.  With the conclusion of the primer series of Boston’s most relevant foes, but what about everyone else.  KP gives the rundown of the entire conference in today’s featured guest segment.

NFL Kickoff Weekend means that we’re one week closer to the start of the NBA season.  And we continue our Boston Celtics primer series, this week not looking at an NBA Playoffs foe, but rather a supplier of highly valued first round selections in the NBA Draft: Our Yearly Preview of the Brooklyn Nets. Ian Eagle, Nets play-by-play announcer for the YES Network, stops by for his annual September appearance on Celtics Beat.  Brooklyn cleaned house this off-season, new GM, new coach, new players.  So, it goes without saying: How will it work out? What are the philosophies of Sean Marks and their rookie head coach Kenny Atkinson? Are they going to put an emphasis on player development and not worry about the repercussions of sending more high lottery picks Boston’s way.  And yes, we’ll do it.  Point blank: Will the Nets be the worst team in the NBA? And if not, what is their best case scenario for 2016-17? And while this is a Celtics-centric show, most are well aware of Ian’s role as one of the NFL on CBS top play-by-play announcers.  Ian will be calling Dolphins v. Seahawks game today on CBS.  So we’ll cheat and get a little football talk.  How will the New England Patriots survive without Tom Brady? And of course, we get Ian’s SuperBowl 51 pick.

Happy Labor Day! Summer is now officially over here on the East Coast.  The NBA season is now just weeks away and the Boston Celtics are counting down the days to training camp and the 2016-17 campaign.  And in doing so, we continue our primers of the Celtics premiere competition in the NBA’s Eastern Conference here on Celtics Beat. Stephanie Ready, color commentator for the Charlotte Hornets on FOX Sports South is first up.  The Hornets were one of the surprise teams in the league last year and are generally regarded to be one of the best coached teams in the league.  What makes this band of castaways go? Last year, they rode productive seasons from many free-agents-to-be such as Al Jefferson, Courtney Lee, Jeremy Lin, Marvin Williams and Nic Batum.  Lin, Lee and Jefferson are gone and weren’t really replaced.  Will these losses drop Charlotte from being a team to be taken seriously? And if not, how will they be replaced? Despite finishing with identical records last year, can we get Stephanie to admit that Boston will be far and away a superior team to Charlotte in 2017? Then there’s the other end of the spectrum.  The clear-cut favorites and alpha dogs of the Eastern Conference: LeBron James and the World Champion Cleveland Cavaliers.  Outside of a LeBron injury, what can stop the Cavs from getting back to the Finals? Dave spoke with Kyrie Irvin before the Olympics, listen to find out what he told him. It’s on this week’s Celtics Beat.

Training camp is now less than a month away and Labor Day is next week.  The summer is winding down which means the NBA season is right around the corner.  Which gives Celtics Beat ample opportunity to preview some conference rivals for the Boston Celtics in 2016-17. Quinn Buckner, longtime NBA veteran, former Celtic, and current Indiana Pacers color commentator on FOX Sports Indiana is back on the CLNS Radio airwaves once again to give a primer on the Pacers and their off-season.  No team outside of Oakland added more talent to their roster this season than Indiana. What kind of challenges will there be to get all these pieces to mesh? What other weaknesses do the Pacers have that the Celtics could exploit? And would Paul George, being the best player in a potential playoff series, knock off teams like the Celtics and God forbid, the Cleveland Cavaliers? It doesn’t end there.  Coach Jack Armstrong of TSN also stops by to talk about the Toronto Raptors, and their quiet summer which was highlighted by retaining DeMar DeRozan and signing former Celtic Jared Sullinger.  Will that cut the mustard? Jack is a huge fan of the Celtics off-season and a huge fan of this Boston team.  He also believes the Raptors took a step back this year.  Does that mean he believes the Raptors will surrender the Atlantic Division to Boston?

Turn the page: We are now well into August and everything is in the bank for the Boston Celtics and the NBA.  Last season is now last season and this past summer is now last summer.  The NBA schedule has now been released and it’s now about looking forward to the 2016-17 NBA season. Kristen Ledlow of NBAtv and Turner Sports is back on the broadcast to talk about the biggest takeaway from the new schedule: The Boston Celtics are featured on national TV 22 times.  Wow! That certainly provides plenty of discussion for the show.  Does that Al Horford addition really make that much of a difference? Can the Celtics really be considered as a (gulp!) dark-horse title contender? Kristen also gives a rundown of which games she is most looking forward to for the 2017 NBA’s regular season.

Cherry on top: The 2016 Boston Celtics Off-Season is now likely over and the countdown to NBA Training Camp is officially on.  The Celtics had a very busy NBA Draft, made a major splash with Al Horford, almost lured Kevin Durant, and were quiet again on the trade front.  Unquestionably a better team for 2017, the Celts are rapidly rising in the NBA ranks. Austin Ainge, Boston Celtics Director of Player Personnel returns to CLNS Radio to recap the entire Off-Season with Larry H. Russell in this week’s very special Summer in Review show.  Starting from the immediate fallout of the playoff defeat, Austin provides exclusive insight into how the team planned to approach the summer then; what the brass felt would be the best pathways to immediately improve the roster while maintaining long-term flexibility. LHR and Austin review the transpirings of the summer in chronological order: Did the NBA Draft go as well as the team planned? What did they get out of it? Why weren’t the able to get any potential moves done? And of course, July 4th weekend: What went down: Al Horford.  And what didn’t: Kevin Durant.  Austin also provides his thoughts on this year’s team and caps it off by, yes, providing a letter grade for the Celtics summer. There’s also immediate reaction.  The Lead Sports Matt Keller stops by following Austin’s appearance to offer his analysis on Ainge’s interview.  It’s a jammed-packed edition of Celtics Beat.

July 31, 2007: The nine year anniversary of Kevin Garnett being traded to the Boston Celtics. Many have drawn today's date as the "line in the sand" for potential trades to occur. Today, Jimmy Toscano of the Boston Metro joins Nick Gelso to fill the host duties for Larry H. Russell. A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE is today's featured guest.  With Doc Rivers recently back in the news for his candid interview on The Vertical Podcast, Toscano, Gelso and Blakely discuss everything nostalgic from the Kevin Garnett Era, Paul Pierce retiring with the Boston Celtics.  Heck, even Dennis Johnson's name creeps into the conversation. In current Celtics news, Sherrod discusses Jae Crowder taking exception to his 2017 Free Agents Article on Twitter, who will make the roster, Marcus Smart's potential and they even go cliche and give their win predictions if the season were to start today.   It’s all on this week’s edition of Celtics Beat.

Are things beginning to quiet down? That’s been the case on Twitter.  Does that mean it is in the real world for the Boston Celtics and the rest of the NBA? CLNS Radio and Celtics Beat presents two people who may have the answers: The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach and The Vertical at Yahoo! Sports’ Michael Lee.  They’ll stop by to provide the answers to the following questions: How close are the Celts on a deal for Blake Griffin? Is Jahlil Okafor a potential option or is that just media day dreaming? While there’s seemingly zero talk for Russell Westbrook now, what about during the season when the Oklahoma City Thunder will likely struggle? And most importantly, should the Celtics bother going for it with how good the Golden State Warriors will be this season? Oh, and we have major groundbreaking roster news: Gerald Green has signed with the Celtics and Tyler Zeller is back! It’s all on this week’s edition of Celtics Beat.

The NBA off-season is still red hot, both in the rumor mill and on the court in NBA Summer League out in Las Vegas.  Are the Boston Celtics on the verge of something massive? Could their next super team feature Blake Griffin and Russell Westbrook to go along with Al Horford? Who would go and who would stay on this current Celtics roster? Michael Smith, former Celtics and current Los Angeles Clippers color commentator goes over it all on the Blake Griffin trade front.  Are the Clips really interested in breaking up their team? If so, what would it cost on Boston’s end? Is it worth it for the Celts? Would a Griffin-Westbrook-Horford group be a title team? And that’s not all.  Brian Robb was in Las Vegas and chatted up with CLNS Radio’s own Jared Weiss to give the lowdown on the NBA Summer League and what to make of many of the young Celtics’ performance.

Kevin Durant has spurned the Boston Celtics, dumped the Oklahoma City Thunder and has decided to join the powerhouse Golden State Warriors.  It still stings and it’s utterly flabbergasting.  How could someone be so hell-bent on taking the easy way out to win a championship and join a bitter rival to meet an end goal? Danny Leroux of realGMRadio will stop by to attempt to answer those questions.  At the very least, it should be a lot of fun.  But will it be as fun unless the Warriors come out like gangbusters next year and 2007-Patriots the league? Or will they cruise to make sure they win the NBA championship? That’s not all there.  Abby Chin of CSNNE will stop by to talk about...yes, the Boston Celtics.  They who just signed Al Horford and introduced him this past Friday afternoon.  Is the off-season still good enough for the Celts and should they be more aggressive or lay low for the next few years knowing the Dubs will likely dominate the NBA?

Al Horford to the Boston Celtics - yay! Well, the big fallacy that the Celts have never signed a major free agent is over.  And it’s more than just that.  The Celts added a major piece.  How much does Horford improve the team? What kind of repercussions does it have in the rest of the Eastern Conference? And will the Celts get Kevin Durant?! Justin Poulin is up early to provide instant analysis to the mayhem. Howard Beck will also stop by for a few brief moments to rundown the rest of NBA Free Agency.  There’s a ton of money being thrown around, and outside of maybe Horford, a lot of it is on lesser players.  Will a lot of teams regret many of these players signed to these deals? What type of long term impact will it have for the NBA not just on the court, but off? Is a labor crisis looming or is the league just so healthy that nothing will stop the train from rolling along?  It’s all on this week’s edition of Celtics Beat.

Was it a clunker? There was a lot of hype and anticipation heading into the 2016 NBA Draft for the Boston Celtics, but universal sentiment has everyone from fans, media and possibly those within the organization far from enamored about the night the Celtics had back on Thursday evening.  Sure they didn’t make a big move, but what about the rest of the night? Did anything go right? Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com and NBAtv will check into Celtics Beat first to give a rundown on the six selections the Celts utilized.  Let’s cut right to the chase: What can Jaylen Brown do? Does he seriously have the highest bust potential of all the top players? How fearful should people be of his lack of production at Cal? Is he even better to last year’s top target, Justise Winslow? And what about the other players, including the three second round selections? What are their strengths and do any of them have futures in the NBA? That’s not all there.  There was plenty of fallout from the NBA Draft.  Where does Thursday leave the Celtics? Did it set back the team in any capacity? Why aren’t teams biting on Boston’s supposedly loaded warchest? Are teams completely afraid of trading with Danny Ainge? Ben Golliver of Sports Illustrated offers his views and more on what was a highly talked-about day in the national circles regarding what Boston did and did not do on Draft Night.

Time for the unofficial official 2015-16 Season in Review show for the Boston Celtics.  It was still a bit too fresh from their loss to the Atlanta Hawks to do it two weeks ago, and there was still a lot to take away from that particular postseason series in the Eastern Conference Quarter-Finals.  But now, it’s time...

Scrap those five-point plans on getting Kevin Durant to the Boston Celtics this summer.  There’s still a bit of a wait-and-see game there with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the midst of a huge playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Playoffs.  So until that series reaches a conclusion and if the Spurs can take care of business, the Thunder remain overwhelming favorites in keeping their superstar.  So let’s talk about what we have in front of us and that still being a fairly fresh, and wildly successful 2016 Celtics campaign in the NBA.  This week, we’ll get the red pen out and dish out report cards. Kyle Draper, host of Celtics Pre + Postgame live on Comcast Sports Net New England is today’s only guest and he’ll play the role of professor as he and LHR hand out their grades.  Where did they agree and disagree? How much should injuries detract from the breakout seasons of Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk and Jae Crowder? Despite struggling in the postseason, can you give anything less than a straight A to Isaiah Thomas? What about James Young and the rookies? And is Jared Sullinger worthy of an ...F? Kyle and LHR go up and down the entire roster and even dish out grades to Coach Brad Stevens, Danny Ainge, and the fans!

Bob Ryan returns to the show as today’s featured guest segment.  Mr. Ryan too will recap the series against Atlanta and go a bit more in depth as he offers his take on whether or not Brad Stevens was outcoached by Mike Budenholzer; whether the Celts’ effort levels at times during Games 5 and 6 were acceptable; whether Boston should’ve rested a few bodies down the stretch.  Professor Ryan will also get his red ink out and grade the Boston Celtics in 2016 as well as take some preliminary looks at the Celts’ off-season which starts with the NBA Draft Lottery on May 17th.

Well the Boston Celtics are back in this 2016 NBA Playoffs series against the Atlanta Hawks, but is it at a major price? Isaiah Thomas had a huge game against the Hawks but there’s much to discuss about what the deal will be from the NBA league office. Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal Constitution is back on the CLNS Radio airwaves to talk about Boston’s big Game 3 win over the Hawks.  How’d they do it? How much of an impact did that home crowd the C’s had at the TD Garden? What adjustments, if any, do the Hawks have to make? As short handed as the Celts are, can extend the series let alone beat the Hawks? And what about this whole Isaiah Thomas so-called incident? Has the NBA taken it too far micromanaging every non-basketball play? Isn’t the Marcus Smart flop worse in terms of impacting the integrity of the game? That and more as well as an appearance from Celtics Stuff Live Justin Poulin to discuss LHR’s latest article which ran this past week on CLNSRadio.com. It’s all on this week’s episode of Celtics Beat.  Brought to you by audiblepodcast.com/celtics, Casper, American Farmer’s Network, and Harry’s.  Available for download on iTunes and Stitcher on Sunday, April 24th 2016.  Powered by CLNS Radio.

Signature win...and then some.  Tough to put a capper on the Boston Celtics ending the 54 game home winning streak of the Golden State Warriors and becoming the first team in the 2015-16 NBA campaign to defeat the Dubs at the Oracle.  First off, how in the world did the Celts do this on a second night of a back-to-back, without Jae Crowder...and against a team that was 68-7?! Not only is this the trademark win of the Brad Stevens era, but was winning on Friday even more valuable than winning a playoff series? Leon Powe is today’s guest with LHR to talk about Friday’s huge win.  As well as: Who would win, Leon’s 2008 Celtics or this year’s Warriors or San Antonio Spurs team? How attractive is the Celtics situation to players in and around the league and can Boston be an enjoyable city to young NBA athletes? That’s not all, this week’s edition of Celtics Beat has the Celtics pregame segment for tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.  Around the NBA in 5 is back as well, to, you guessed it: Pile on the D’Angelo Russell and Nick Young debacle.

Happy Easter! The Boston Celtics have righted the ship recently with some easy wins over some lackluster foes in the Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic, and the Kyle Lowry-less Toronto Raptors.  LHR recaps the week that was including Saturday night’s contest against the Phoenix Suns in the 150th episode of Celtics Beat. Kevin Pelton of ESPN is this week’s featured guest on this Easter Sunday edition of Celtics Beat.  While the Celts have righted the ship to an extent, fans and media members alike have gotten a bit antsy over Marcus Smart’s shooting woes to say the least.  How is this affecting Smart’s development? Will this allow him to live up to expectations of being the sixth overall pick or should they be quelled a bit? And what about other contributors to this Boston team and their situations going forward? For example, what will it take for the Celtics to re-sign a guy like Jared Sullinger? No Around the NBA in 5 again, however with Pelton in the house -- there’s plenty of talk about the greatest team in NBA history.  Mr. Pelton once ranked the 1986 Boston Celtics as the second best team in NBA history.  What calculations brought him to that conclusion and where will the 2016 Golden State Warriors fit in that debate when it’s all said and done? All this on this week’s episode of Celtics Beat.  Brought to you by audiblepodcast.com/celtics, Casper, American Farmer’s Network, and Harry’s.  Available for download on iTunes and Stitcher on Easter Sunday, March 27th, 2016.  Powered by CLNS Radio.

Donut week: The worst case scenario as stated on Episode #148 has come true here for Episode #149 -- the Boston Celtics went winless this past week and are now riding a four game losing streak.  After losses to Paul George and the Indiana Pacers, Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Toronto Raptors, the Boston Celtics will look to end their losing streak against the lowly Philadelphia 76ers tonight.  ESPN’s Chris Forsberg recaps the week and previews tonight’s game with LHR. Sekou Smith of NBAtv and NBA.com also makes a return appearance for today’s featured guest segment.  One major storyline this past week was Kevin Durant playing in Boston.  How realistic is it that he can be a Celtic next year and is he really a guy who can single handedly elevate a franchise like LeBron James can? LHR and Sekou go deep in this free-flowing feature which also includes chatter about the national perception of the Celtics and the city of Boston to prospective free agents and whether the historic 2016 Golden State Warriors or San Antonio Spurs can break the 1986 Celtics home win record.

Home winning streak snapped: The Houston Rockets came into Boston Friday night and ended the longest winning streak the Celts have had in Boston in nearly 25 years.  How troubling is this with the Celtics brutal schedule ahead? LHR and MassLive’s Jay King discuss whether the Celts should be given a bit of a mulligan for Friday with how good they’ve looked, such as a recent win against the Memphis Grizzlies. Michael Lee, senior NBA writer for The Vertical at Yahoo Sports offers up his vantage point on the Boston Celtics.  Michael’s been on recent assignment in Los Angeles covering the Celts’ arch-rival, the Lakers.  How does the job Danny Ainge and co. have done matchup with what LA has going for them? And which of these teams is in a better position to not just contend, but make the move to contend? It may not be the answer that you think. Most importantly, Kevin Durant -- another week of discussion.  Lee is yet another name in the national media who believes there’s a legitimate chance for the Celtics and he’d be a perfect fit.  Michael and LHR go in depth with this and Larry H. finishes with his thoughts and gameplan as the Thunder come to Boston this coming Wednesday.

Elite in the East: The Boston Celtics sit alone at third in the Eastern Conference even after last night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and a perfect homestand with victories over the Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers, and New York Knicks. Howard Beck, senior NBA writer for Bleacher Report is yet another in the national media who’s attention has been directed at what’s going on in Boston.  Can the Celtics really compete with LeBron James and the Cavs this year and actually make the NBA Finals? But if not, is it now just a matter of time.  Is the long-term savior just around the door.  The Oklahoma City Thunder are underachieving and seemingly have no shot in the Western Conference.  So does that not make the Celtics a prime landing spot for Durant? The answer is: Yes! LHR gives Howard his plan and breakdown on how the Celts can put a plan in place to get their franchise cornerstone.

The homestand has begun and the final stretch of the season is here.  The Boston Celtics have completed the first two legs of a five game home set with games against the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat with the Utah Jazz on tap for tomorrow.  With Kelly Olynyk out, the Celts are dearly missing his presence and treading water.  Can that continue or are they in a bit of trouble in these final 23 games? LHR has that and a brief recap of the week. Rich Gotham, President of the Boston Celtics is featured on today’s episode of Celtics Beat.  Rich discusses everything from the current play of the team, the perception of fans both towards the current product and the future prospects, as well as the state of the organization.  Has there been any change or changes in the mindset towards constructing the team with the way the league has shifted around to where it’s harder to acquire star players.  Will there be a more methodical process towards building the next great Celtics team?

The NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone.  No moves for the Boston Celtics, but could there have been? There have been rumors that Jahlil Okafor was nearly sent to Boston before the Philadelphia 76ers backed out at the last second? Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald stops by Celtics Beat to recap the deadline.  Bulpett may have been the man who cracked the code on the mysterious trade that Danny Ainge alluded to in Friday interviews in Boston.  It’s not just if Okafor was the guy, what was the level of interest in other Celtics players in the roster. Are there worries that the team may have ‘too many’ draft picks for Draft Night? And what about the other rumored deals for Dwight Howard or Al Horford? Were these at all legit? Celtics Beat isn’t done there.  The Celts have a game today against the Denver Nuggets and Justin Poulin will stop by for the Pregame segment.  And, it doesn’t end there...the triumphant return of Around the NBA in 5!

NBA All Star Weekend is here.  Tonight’s game will feature Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas and will air exclusively on TNT.  Celtics Beat is here right now as always and Larry H. Russell will use the NBA’s All Star game as well as this Thursday’s trade deadline to as ways to gauge different vantage points of amongst those on the inside and outside of the organization.  With the trade deadline approaching, are certain fans fantasies indirect barometer measurements of where this team is really at? ESPN New Hampshire’s Patrick Gilroy weighs in, and don’t worry there’ll be plenty of talks regarding the deadline. Steve Smith of NBAtv and Turner Sports stops by for a little All Star game sitdown as he and LHR go Around the NBA and the Eastern Conference.  Can the Celtics or any team for that matter compete with the Cleveland Cavaliers or are they a dead mortal lock from the Finals?

Think the rumor mill is on fire for the Boston Celtics? Think again.  The media has jumped on possibilities for the Celtics including Denver Nuggets Danilo Gallinari, Atlanta Hawks Al Horford and Houston Rockets Dwight Howard.  Are there serious trade conversations taking place? Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical right now says no...at least not yet.  In fact, should fans be gearing up for the Celtics not even making a major move this deadline? Possibly even this summer.  What about Oklahoma City Thunder Kevin Durant or Los Angeles Clippers Blake Griffin? Are they possibilities.  All this and more with Woj.

Have the Boston Celtics turned the cornah?! This won’t be the first time you’ll hear that really annoying cliche phrase! It’s the theme of the latest edition of Celtics Beat as LHR asks that question to himself, to which he answers as well as to ESPN Boston’s Chris Forsberg who’s back in the house. So many questions and so many answers! Have they turned the corner? Whom in the NBA would you trade the Nets pick for? Was it truly beneficial the team made the NBA Playoffs last year? Are Kelly Olynyk and Jae Crowder truly valuable pieces in a trade? Is this team playing an entertaining enough brand of basketball to appease the diehards and entertain casual fans? All of this and more with LHR and Chris. Jeff Turner also re-appears on the show to breakdown the Celtics victory Friday night over the Orlando Magic, as well as look at tonight’s game in the Boston Celtics Pre-Game segment.

It’s the 30th anniversary for the 1986 Boston Celtics championship.  Is that the best single season team in NBA history? Bob Ryan, author, commentator, and longtime columnist for the Boston Globe is the most well-regarded individual to answer that question and he’ll join Celtics Beat to offer his take with host Larry H. Russell.  LHR and Bob will relive that season in a way so unique from any other entity.  Are there any arguments as to what teams were better.  What about Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar led Lakers in 1987? Or any of the best Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls teams such as those in 1992 or 1996? Yes, we may be in the midst of the NBA season and LHR will touch briefly upon the week and what lies ahead.  But a special season does call for the occasional special show.  So the tradition-seekers will definitely appreciate the 141st edition of Celtics Beat.

After a rough stretch of a lot of losing, the Boston Celtics are seemingly back on track.  Yes, they missed a golden opportunity to really establish themselves as one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference, but the Celtics were at a point where there season could’ve gone ary. However, the season has been a little stale.  The lack of improvement from last year, while not crippling in any sense of the imagination, to the franchise is still agitating to the fans.  If fans are a little frustrated with the lack of improvement thus far, it may be best to check out CSNNE’s series on the 1986 Boston Celtics.  LHR will get some brief words with Skip Perham from The Network.  Consider this a therapy edition of Celtics Beat. To continue in that mold, we haven’t gone Around the NBA in 5 recently. So why don’t we go Around the NBA in about 20? Or better yet, just discuss the two teams that are on a head-on collision to decide the Larry O’Brien trophy (and possibly in January!) - the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs.  We are a week away from what is gearing up to be one of the biggest regular season games in memory, and NBATVs and Turner Sports Kristen Ledlow will stop by for her maiden voyage on Celtics Beat.

Things are getting ugly for the Boston Celtics.  Right as fans thought they were ready to go on a run with a string of cupcakes on the schedule, the rug has been pulled right from underneath Celtics Nation.  Is it time to panic?

Final show of 2015 for Celtics Beat.  What an eventful year for the Boston Celtics.  At this time last year, the organization was in no man’s land.  Well, at least they had the Brooklyn picks! But now they have established themselves as a respectable foe in less than one calendar year in the NBA.  Now, what is the next step? Sean Deveney of the Sporting News will return to the show.  It’s all quiet on the NBA rumor mill.  Is that a case of the media not working over the holiday? Is there any trade that could possibly be made? Even something as trivial as David Lee? There has not been a year that hasn’t gone by where Danny Ainge hasn’t made an in-season move so it’s doubtful this year will be different. The Celtics also have a game on tap today back at the TD Garden against Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis and the New York Knicks.  Chris Forsberg who will be covering today’s game for ESPN Boston will preview the game with LHR.

2015 is coming to a close and was a phenomenal calendar year for the Boston Celtics.  Unfortunately, the Celtics suffered what was unequivocally their worst week of the calendar year: A big fat doughnut.  Losses to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Detroit Pistons and the Atlanta Hawks left the Celts with an 0-fer week. Sean Grande, radio play by play voice for the Boston Celtics on 98.5 FM The Sports Hub is this week’s featured guest.  What happened to the Boston Celtics this week? Does this team need to make a trade to shake things up like last year? Or will it be an issue that teams are afraid to trade with Danny Ainge? If there’s nothing to be done, what plagued the team this past week and how do they improve? Ian Thomsen of NBA.com will also stop by to discuss where the Celtics are compared to their peers in the rest of the league.  There have been quite a few trade rumors around the Celtics.  Are these even rumors or are these media dirty tricks?

The long road trip for the Boston Celtics is nearing its conclusion.  After a trip that started in Florida, crossed south of the border, and then crossed it again -- the Boston Celtics are ready to wrap things up with the New Orleans Pelicans tomorrow night.  Some highlights and lowlights in games against the Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings, and San Antonio Spurs.  Host Larry H. Russell will briefly recap the week as well as look ahead to Monday’s game in New Orleans. David Wesley, former Boston Celtics and current color man for the Pels will return to the show for his trifecta appearance in a special edition of our Boston Celtics Pre-Game segment.  New Orleans scored a big win back on Friday over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Will that get their disappointing season off the mat and carry over to a win against Boston? And how happy is Anthony Davis down in the Bayou in that current situation? Justin Poulin will also check back in for a brief segment.  LHR isn’t too happy with Marcus Smart continuing to miss games.  Is it time to start pointing fingers at the Celtics condition staff?

Best defensive team in the NBA: The Boston Celtics are exerting their will on the competition.  After a big week, including some good wins on the road against tough Western Conference foes, these Celtics may have found their identity. Mike Gorman, play-by-play announcer for the Boston Celtics is this week’s guest.  Is this really what fans should expect from this team throughout the course of the team, and could that to, dare we say it, a 50 win season? Justin Poulin also joins show once again for the Boston Celtics Pre-Game segment for tonight’s game against the Brooklyn Nets.  Will it even be a game?

An up-and-down season thus far has produced yet another up-and-down week for the Boston Celtics.  After Friday night’s huge win against the Atlanta Hawks, it finished on a big up as the Celts have clawed their way back to .500.  It will be hard to continue it today as the Celtics will travel to play Russell Westbrook and possibly Kevin Durant as they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder.  Justin Poulin will take about today’s game briefly with Larry H. Russell in the American Farmer’s Network Pre-Game segment. Jeff Goodman, ESPN basketball insider will also make a return appearance to the show.  College basketball is now officially underway and there isn’t a better person to talk too.  But Jeff and LHR will delve more into just the college hoops and prospects ranks.  There will be, yes, more Celtics talk.  Here’s a question not just for Jeff, but the Celtics Beat audience as it’s the Facebook Question of the Week: Should the Boston Celtics take the Brooklyn Nets picks off the table during trade discussions?

The Boston Celtics are off to a pretty average start.  They’re just 2-3 and even after Friday’s big win against the Washington Wizards, no one yet knows who fits where or what works.  Frequent Celtics Beat target Jared Sullinger put together a strong performance.  Should he be the Celts starting power forward? That is our Facebook Question of the Week? Gery Woelfel, NBA Insider for the Racine Journal Times will return to the show.  The Celtics need to find a way to tread water through November and December as they work around some kinks.  On tap are the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.  LHR will preview Boston’s trip to Milwaukee with Gery and get the lowdown on the Bucks. Around the NBA is 5 as well.  The Brooklyn Nets stink, so suffice to say, they’ll be a topic.

The Boston Celtics and the NBA season is underway.  Good for the NBA, not so good for the Celtics, who at 1-1 don’t look all too hot after a lackluster performance against the Toronto Raptors.  And with the San Antonio Spurs coming to town, it may very well be 1-2.  Celtics Beat will host a pre-game segment with LHR and Nick Gelso, and it won’t sound all too positive.  The roster seems out of synch and it may take time to work things out. With the slow start comes disappointments.  The biggest so far seems to be David Lee.  Is his time almost up? LHR thinks so.  And he asks our audience in the Facebook Question of the Week: Will David Lee be out of the rotation by Thanksgiving weekend? No Around the NBA in 5 this week, so LHR goes Around the NBA in 25 with special guest Lang Whitaker of NBAtv and NBA.com.  We’re half a week into the NBA season.  Are there any real stories, like the Detroit Pistons? And have we learned anything about the West, such as the Houston Rockets not being the contender we thought they’d be?

They’re still alive - it’s the first week of April and the Boston Celtics remain in the thick of the Eastern Conference race for the final spot in the 2015 NBA Playoffs.   LHR will be joined by Gary Tanguay, host of the Arbella Early Edition on Comcast Sports Net New England.  In LHR’s mind - it is safe to call this season a success for the Celts no matter what happens from here on out.  What does Gary think? And do the Celtics still need to make a transformative move or can they let this current roster grow will adding bits and pieces along the way? Should the Celtics go all in on a move for say, DeMarcus Cousins, Derrick Rose, or (gasp!) Kevin Durant?   LHR will also wrap the show up by going Around the NBA in 5.

Now the real fun begins as this is judgment week for the Boston Celtics.  Five games in the next days starting with the Doc Rivers, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and the Los Angeles Clippers in Boston Sunday night.  Then of course three critical contests await the Celtics starting with a trip down to Charlotte tomorrow to face the Hornets, then some home games with the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks, before a trip north of the border to finish the week against the Toronto Raptors.  The NBA Playoffs may very well be on the line for the Celtics this week.   Boston concluded the last full week of March by sweeping two New York foes in the Nets and Knicks, but dropped some winnable games at home against the Pistons and Heat.  Are there some signs of fatigue that could be setting in? Were those games a warning sign? LHR will discuss this topic and more with new Celtics beat reporter for the Boston Globe, Adam Himmelsbach.   LHR will also wrap the show up by going Around the NBA in 5.

Spring is here and so is the sprint to the finish line for the Boston Celtics and the rest of the NBA.  The green team finds themselves right in the midst of the chase for the final two spots in the Eastern Conference NBA Playoffs.  Larry H. Russell will break down the week that was for the Celtics.  Was it a successful week? Two tough, but somewhat expected losses against two elite Western Conference foes in the Oklahoma City Thunder and the World Champion San Antonio Spurs followed the end of the Celts’ five game winning streak.   Whatever one makes of it, it’s in the books.  LHR will look ahead to what could very well be a make-or-break week for Boston’s playoff hopes with huge games against foes like the Brooklyn Nets and the Miami Heat.  Let’s not get ahead of ourselves either, as Boston has their hands full tonight when Greg Monroe comes to town with the rest of the Detroit Pistons.   And of course, the guest: LHR will be privileged to be joined by Basketball Hall of Famer Jackie MacMullan of ESPN Boston.  There are few in the media who know more regarding the state of the Celtics than Jackie, and she’ll be sure to provide the Celtics Beat audience the lowdown on Brad Stevens, the Celtics now, and the Celtics in the future.  What does Jackie make of them? More importantly, what do those in an around the NBA make of the Boston Celtics franchise.   LHR will also wrap the show up by going Around the NBA in 5.   So tune in this Sunday for another edition of Celtics Beat, presented by lynda.com/clns and Peak Organic Brewing Company.  Available for download on iTunes and Stitcher Sunday, March 22, 2015.  Powered by CLNS Radio.

The Ides of March are upon us: A major checkpoint in the NBA season.  The sprint to the finish line now begins.  Who knew as late as mid January that the Boston Celtics would play a major factor in the outlook of the 2015 NBA campaign?   The playoff chase is officially on.  It was a busy, but successful week for the Celtics with a real highlight win over the Memphis Grizzlies at home on Wednesday.  Plus the team picked up some solid victories against the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic.  Fans are thrilled, and host Larry H. Russell is one of them.   LHR will be joined by Ian Thomsen, now of NBA.com.  Ian wrote a feature on Danny Ainge and the Celtics rebuilding project back on February 17th titled “Danny Ainge’s Balancing Act.”  LHR will discuss that feature with Ian, and will dive into further detail with where Ian thinks the Celtics stand in all of this.  How does Boston’s rebuilding plan stack up? Particularly against the rival New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers?   LHR will also wrap the show up by going Around the NBA in 5.   So tune in this Sunday for another edition of Celtics Beat, presented by lynda.com/clns and Peak Organic Brewing Company.  Available for download on iTunes and Stitcher Sunday, March 15, 2015.  Powered by CLNS Radio.

Busy week for the Boston Celtics - I mean real busy.  Plenty of games to talk about, both good and bad.  And plenty of news to talk about, which has been mostly good.   There’s a lot of talk of who the Celts will sign this off-season, and there was even a possible transaction this week with Javale McGee.  Alas, it fell through.  Host LHR will be sure to touch upon that as well as the possibilities this summer as he did in today’s column.   The Celts stayed busy on the court as well with a slew of games this week.  LHR will react on the week that was and look ahead to tonight’s game with former Orlando Magic player Jeff Turner, now serving as the Magic’s color man on FOX Sports Florida.  After a respectable start, Orlando was really fizzled out.  What went wrong? And how can the Celtics exploit some of Orlando’s weaknesses if they want to get this much needed road win?   That’s not all - there’s plenty to talk about around the league as well.  Boston fans saw first hand the greatness of Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.  Is he the front runner for the NBA’s MVP award? What about James Harden or LeBron James? Tas Melas of The Starters on NBAtv will stop by to discuss that and more with LHR.   LHR will also wrap the show up by going Around the NBA in 5.

So long February.  Another week in the bag for the Boston Celtics.  And now here comes March and the BOSTON CELTICS PLAYOFF PUSH!   Kyle Draper returns to Celtics Beat to square things away once and for all with LHR.  Does he still feel the Celtics should’ve done more at the deadline? Will Isaiah Thomas live up to the billing? And oh, the game tonight.  Kyle is the host of Celtics Pre and Post Game Live and he’ll give his take on tonight’s huge matchup in Boston against the Golden State Warriors.  And there may be some Rajon Rondo discussion in there too.   Celtics Beat will also welcome Josh Planos of the Wall Street Journal to the show.  Much of the NBA’s top teams are from small markets and/or franchises that are not familiar to success.  All while the Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and New York Knicks are down.  Is this good for the NBA? And could such success lead to the NBA putting franchises in more flyover states?   LHR will also wrap the show up by going Around the NBA in 5.

The NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone for the NBA and for the Boston Celtics.  To say we don’t have plenty to talk about on Celtics Beat would be an understatement.   First up, Sean Deveney of Sporting News drops by the show once again to recap the wild, wild deadline in the NBA.  The Celtics are seemingly being lauded as the biggest winners after scoring flashy point guard Isaiah Thomas.  How does Sean feel about the newest Celtic? What does that mean for the future? And what in the world are the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers doing?   Speaking of the Lakers, the Celts are in LA Sunday to face their arch-rivals at the Staples Center.  It may not be the classic matchup its known to be, but tonight is a key game for the Celtics in their case for the Eastern Conference’s eighth seed.  We’ll chat with Corey Hansford of LakersNation.com about the game as well as the state of the NBA’s glamour franchise.   Plus - a special trade deadline edition of Around the NBA in 5.   So tune in this Sunday for another edition of Celtics Beat, presented by lynda.com/clns.  Available for download on iTunes and Stitcher Sunday, February 22nd, 2015.  Powered by CLNS Radio.

NBA All Star Weekend is finally upon us and the Boston Celtics are off until next Friday night when they resume action out West against George Karl and the Sacramento Kings.   The Celtics head into the break on a high note, winning their lone game of the week -- a buzzer-beating win against the NBA’s best team, the Atlanta Hawks.  Larry H. Russell is becoming ever more so pleased with the development and improvement of certain individuals on the Boston roster as well as the positive steps the team seems to be taking.  The Celtics may not be there yet, but there should be some serious intrigue in this team the second half of the season which some would’ve considered a feat in itself just a month ago.   And as intriguing as these Celtics are, the NBA may be as interesting as it has ever been.  Longtime NBA veteran, two-time NBA World Champion, 1996 Slam Dunk King and current NBAtv analyst Brent Barry will hop back on the show.  There’s a lot to talk about at the NBA All Star break.  Are these Hawks truly for real? Are the Hawks or Warriors truly the favorites despite having the best record in their respective conferences.  And Charles Barkley - he called out the analytics movement.  What’s Bones’ take on that? Brent and LHR will discuss this and more on this All Star Sunday edition of Celtics Beat.   There’s still even enough to talk about more NBA topics.  LHR goes Around the NBA in 5 at the conclusion of the show.

Busy week for the Boston Celtics, and a fairly successful week at that.  Boston dropped a tough contest last night to the Milwaukee Bucks, ending their three-game winning streak.  But are we now seeing some noticeable improvement from certain individuals as well as the team?   Host Larry H. Russell seems to think so.  The team has made marked improvements in three key areas since the beginning of the season, and that’s a very positive development for the Boston Celtics.  LHR also spoke with Wyc Grousbeck and Rich Gotham regarding how they feel about the team in a feature piece that is available on clnsradio.com.  LHR will further discuss the piece and how he personally currently feels about the team now and going forward on the show.   And that’s not all.  Longtime Boston Celtics beat reporter for the Boston Herald, Steve Bulpett, will join Celtics Beat once again and provide the latest buzz surrounding the Celts.  Is there still a possibility for more moves? Is LHR’s optimism justified? Can this team really make a playoff push? Steve will have this and more on Episode 91.   We’d also like to welcome the return of our longtime friend - Around the NBA in 5.

The Celtics returned home from a 6 game road trip and square off against old rival the Miami Heat on Super Bowl Sunday.  The team is showing signs of life with their first 3 wins on the road in the Western Conference in a couple of years but still can't get over the hump against the iron teams. Celtics Beat hosts Rich Conte and Dr. Andre Snellings of Rotowire talk about today's game, the recent roadtrip and reminisce about the Celtics - Heat rivalry.  We also welcome guest RealGM.com's Shams Charania to talk about the rapidly approaching NBA Trade Deadline as well as some players called up from the NBA Developmental League making surprising impacts.

So far, so good. The Boston Celtics are rolling out West.   Well, sort of. But two wins in a row is a start, particularly on a back-to-back beating the Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets. What does this mean? Can the Celtics make a run at the Eastern Conference’s final playoff berth?   LHR doesn’t seem to think so. While there are a lot of positives that have come out of the Celtics continued-inspired play despite all the adversity and the challenges of this season, reality is still reality.  The Detroit Pistons seem to be a step ahead, and the continued drama with trades will prove to be too much to overcome for these ever-so-gritty 2015 Celtics.  However, this may be something they can build upon.   Despite the recent success of the Celtics, it’s still ever-so important for fans to keep an eye on the 2015 NBA Draft.  And who better to talk to than Jeff Goodman of ESPN and ESPN.com, who has made a living off knowing college basketball prospects over this last decade.  LHR and Jeff will get into an elaborate discussion on not just the Draft, but where the Celts stand in their rebuilding as well.   We’d also like to welcome the return of our longtime friend - Around the NBA in 5.   So tune in this Sunday for another edition of Celtics Beat, presented by lynda.com/clns.  Available for download on iTunes and Stitcher Sunday, January 18th 2015.  Powered by CLNS Radio.

Championship Sunday in the NFL is not championship sunday for the Boston Celtics.  In fact, it’s a bloody Sunday.  Two Eastern Conference juggernauts - the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls - humbled the Celts on their home floor in two contests this week.  And now the Celtics go out West.   Boston’s first stop will be in Los Angeles to face Doc Rivers, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the Los Angeles Clippers.  Who better to talk to to talk Clippers basketball than the best color commentator in the NBA - FOX Sports West/Prime Ticket - Michael Smith.  Mike and LHR will reunite and the conversation will be sure to provide insight about the Celts first stop in their West Coast guantlet.   LHR will also chat with Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe.  Dan is the author of an array of books including Ever Green, one of the definitive accounts of the Celtics and their illustrious history.  Dan and LHR will talk about Larry’s author debut, Fall of the Boston Celtics, as Celtics Beat continues to relive the Dark Ages of Celtics basketball.   So tune in this Sunday.  Another Fall of the Boston Celtics edition of Celtics Beat.  Powered by CLNS Radio.  Available for download on iTunes and Stitcher Sunday, January 18th 2015.  Powered by CLNS Radio.

December 7th -- what better way to kick off the big move to Sunday afternoons for the Celtics Beat podcast than to have our return to Sundays than Larry Bird's birthday.  It was another jammed packed week in the world of Boston Celtics basketball.  There were downs, such as another catastropic collapse Tuesday night against the Atlanta Hawks, but there were ups as well.  Two wins in a row!

It’s our last show on Saturday before the big move to Sunday afternoons.  Unfortunately, it was another demoralizing week for the Boston Celtics and their fans.  There was nothing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend.  It was same old, same old.  More losses and more blown leads.  The Baseline crew of Cal Lee and Warren Shaw are here to make sense of it.   Cal and Warren will be joined by SB Nation and About.com’s Kevin O’Connor.  Kevin is most noted for his work over at Celtics Blog, including his most recent column today about Rajon Rondo needing a sports psychologist.  Will that clear Rondo’s woes? And what about Avery Bradley? We know Kevin is a big fan.

Another week, another string of bad losses by the Boston Celtics highlighted by bad defense.  Yes, the Celtics did get a win this week, but we all know who that was against. After giving up 118 points in a loss to the Phoenix Suns earlier in the week, the Celtics got scorched by Marc Gasol and the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies last night.  Is it already time to push the panic button? Host Larry H. Russell seems to think so.  The team doesn’t seem to have what it takes to execute at the end of games and to commit to a collective defensive identity.  While the games may be close now, LHR tells you why he believes that is going to be a recipe for disaster.   While there haven’t been many highlights for the Celtics on the court this year, there have been many highlights on the Celtics Beat podcast.  The Celts were in Memphis last night to take on the best team in the NBA.  How were these Grizzlies put together? Can they maintain this pace and compete for a championship? And what’s Marc Gasol’s future? LHR has the pleasure to speak with General Manager of the Memphis Grizzlies, as well as former Boston Celtics executive, Chris Wallace. There’s a lot to discuss.  And yes, LHR will have time for Around the NBA in 5.

What defense?   LHR will also welcome back Eddie Johnson to the show.  The 17-year NBA veteran is the Phoenix Suns color commentator for FOX Sports Arizona.  LHR will preview the Celtics tilt with the Phoenix Suns on Monday with Eddie.

The 2013-14 may not have been the most exciting season for the Boston Celtics, but it certainly was over at Celtics Beat on CLNS Radio.   In just a few short months, Celtics Beat launched a mobile app, developed its own channels on iTunes and Stitcher, and became the highest rated Celtics podcast on the web.   As a small token appreciation to the loyal audience that made this happen - CLNS Radio is proud to produce a “Best of Celtics Beat Show” for the 2013-14 season.  Consider it an official closing of the book of this past NBA season as we gear up for 2014-15.   Up first will be Jeff Goodman’s maiden voyage on Celtics Beat.  Goodman’s first appearance came back on December 14th, 2013 -- and his future predictions and assessments are startingly accurate.   Next will be a discussion at the halfway point of the NBA season.  Ty Ray sat down with longtime NBA veteran and current ESPN broadcaster Jon Barry over All Star weekend.   And lastly will be one of Larry H.

It’s time to turn back the clock this week on Celtics Beat.  In this very special edition show, Rich Conte will take a look back at one of the best, if not the best, team in Boston Celtics history.   The 1973 Boston Celtics set a team record for most wins, 68, had the league MVP in Dave Cowens, but failed to capture a championship.  During the Eastern Conference Finals, Hall of Famer John Havlicek separated his shoulder, and the Celtics were never able to overcome the injury -- succumbing to the eventual champion New York Knicks in seven games.   Rich will have the pleasure to be joined by the legendary Bob Ryan.  Ryan is arguably the greatest professional basketball scribe in North American sports.  The 1972-73 Celtics was Ryan’s first year on the Celtics beat for the Boston Globe, and he has called that season his favorite in history.  Rich and Bob will look back, reminisce, and analyze that season.

Are the Celtics in the right hands with Wyc Grousbeck and his ownership group alongside Danny Ainge and Coach Brad Stevens? Rich will discuss this and much more on this very special edition of Celtics Beat.   And despite the slow months of the basketball season - there’s still plenty to discuss in the world of professional basketball.  Team USA is off and running, but all everyone seems to be talking about is LeBron James.  Like you’d expect anything else.  On this week’s episode, Rich and LHR will dive into LeBron’s new low carb diet which has seemingly been the cause for his substantial weight loss over this summer.   And of course, Rich and LHR go Around the NBA in 5.   So tune into yet another edition Celtics Beat; this time on a new platform.  Same time as always, 2 PM ET/11 AM PT.  Or catch us OnDemand on iTunes or Stitcher.  Powered by CLNS Radio.   Learn more about your ad choices.

The fireworks show for the Boston Celtics has been canceled.  Therefore, feel free to join the candle lighting over at Celtics Beat. Larry H. Russell may not have a co-pilot for this week’s show.  But the business class section is full.  Ian Eagle, voice of the Brooklyn Nets on the YES Network, as well as CBS Sports, joins LHR to talk about what’s going on in Brooklyn.  What’s the deal with the former Celtics Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett? Is KG definitely coming back? Why did Pierce leave? And what the heck happened with Jason Kidd? And hey, should the Celtics expect anything from Marcus Thornton? Speaking of fireworks - it seems the only fireworks there’s been has been between Celtics blogosphere members and ESPN’s Jeff Goodman.  Recently, Jeff has been very critical of Rajon Rondo and his game and some fans and members of the media haven’t been too keen to Jeff’s analysis.  Is it warranted? Jeff appeared on Celtics Beat last December and his recent comments have only reinforced what he said on CLNS a few months ago.  Jeff will have the floor to talk Rondo, Marcus Smart, Evan Turner, and what other rumors he’s been hearing regarding the Boston Celtics.
