ALL. MOST....THERE! Just a few more games left in this dreadful season for the Boston Celtics.  But hosts Rich Conte and Dr. Andre Snellings of Rotowire are looking ahead. Rich and Dr. Snellings will be joined by Alex Kennedy, NBA Insider for BasketballInsiders.com.  What are the futures of many key Celtics players such as their starting backcourt of Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley? What direction will the team take this off-season? Is Kevin Love a possibility? And how about help elsewhere, such as a rim protecting center in Omer Asik? One of the most connected members of the NBA media, Kennedy should give the Celtics Beat audience the answers.  Whether they are answers they want to hear is another story. And while the Celtics horrific season is coming to an end, the real NBA season is just picking up with the NBA Playoffs right around the corner.  Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press follows the league as close as anyone.  Will Miami come out on top again? And what about the MVP race? In what has become n

Might as well get someone on Celtics Beat who know what they’re talking about.  Hosts Larry H. Russell and Rotowire’s Dr. Andre Snellings will be joined by Ian Eagle of CBS Sports and the YES Network.  Ian has been providing play-by-play for CBS for the NCAA Tournament, as well as college basketball throughout the season.  What has he seen so far? Is this tournament Florida’s to lose? What does he think of the draft prospects of some of the top rated players? Ian is also the voice of the Brooklyn Nets for the YES Network, so I’m sure LHR and Dre may nudge Ian for a few words regarding Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. LHR and Dr. Andre Snellings also touch on Larry’s three-part series that has been running on CLNSRadio.com all weekend: The Worst Members of the Boston Celtics ...Ever.  With this painful Celtics season nearing its conclusion, well why don’t we antagonize ourselves even more? And of course, the Celtics Beat staple: Around the NBA in 5 Tune in this Saturday, April 5th 2 PM ET/11 AM PT to Celtics

The best Boston Celtics podcast you'll find anywhere is still going strong.  The team may continue to struggle, although that win over Miami on Wednesday was nice, but Celtics Beat is not.  Celtics Beat is packed once again for 60 minutes with hosts Rich Conte and Larry H. Russell. LHR had a chat with Randy Auerbach earlier, and suffice to say - like her father Red, she's got a few things on her mind and she's not afraid to voice her opinions.  LeBron James? Kobe Bryant? The Los Angeles Lakers? Phil Jackson to the New York Knicks? What are her thoughts on those entities? And how is she handling this Celtics season, and what are her feelings on the future outlook of the franchise? LHR will discuss all of this with Randy. There's more: Jay King of Mass Live will hop on to discuss how the team has been handling all these losses since the calendar flipped to the New Year.  They may be saying all the right things, but ... And it'd be interesting to find out what Rajon Rondo really feels about now as well as his

Think there's not plenty to talk about regarding the Boston Celtics? Think again. Rich Conte and Dr. Andre Snellings of Rotowire host an absolute loaded edition of Celtics Beat on The Ides of March.

There's more: Sean Deveney, National NBA writer for Sporting News will hop on.  Sean is one of the most plugged-in NBA journalists, particularly with the Celtics.  He'll let the audience know how the Celtics organization feels about this season, where the rebuilding stands, and also Rajon Rondo.  What's his future w

20 games to go for the Boston Celtics.  Can't wait, can  you? Neither can hosts Ty Ray and Larry H. Russell.  Ty and LHR will talk about LHR's most recent column featured on CLNS Radio: Would the Boston Celtics be better off not winning the lottery? Should they be bold this summer and field a competitive team ASAP? Ty and LHR discuss. LHR will have an extended conversation with NBA TV's Brent Barry.  Brent was the 1996 NBA Slam Dunk Champion, a 14 year NBA veteran, and a two time champion with the San Antonio Spurs.  Brent currently serves as a studio analyst for NBA TV's NBA Gametime and he dropped by talk about some suggestions he'd make to new NBA commissioner Adam Silver, tanking in the NBA, the MVP race, LeBron James' place in history, and of course -- the Celtics.

The 2014 NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone.  Rich Conte and Rotowire's Dr. Andre Snellings will have you covered as they recap Thursday's rather uneventful day in the NBA and for the Boston Celtics.
