Celtics Beat had Rich Gotham on. Lengthy discussion with Gotham on a variety of topics - from fan perception of not just the state of the franchise but where the C’s are at now. Should the current collection of fans be more excited over this current team and its potential in the playoffs this year? Gotham also discussed the possibility of a longer more methodical rebuild, the value of the Celtics eight picks in the June draft, state of the franchise “present is bright but future is brighter”, and what’s going on on the court with his thoughts on recent play, but also the Celts having trouble with big guys and what the team can do to address that this off-season. Rest of the show is just LHR reactions to that, recap of the Bucks and Heat wins, and ticket contests.
WEEI Podcast did a very quick interview with Kevin O’Connor for the show. Talked about the final roster spot and some buyout candidates. Where the team’s at right now. There’s also a lot of draft discussion as well and W2W4 on some college prospects with March Madness coming up and a lot of eyes that will be glued on college hoops. A lot of talk about likely candidates that could be had for not just the Brooklyn Nets pick, but the Dallas Mavericks pick as well which there was a great emphasis on not to forget about that pick.
Celtics Stuff Live: Came out last Monday and was a reaction to the trade deadline. Just some theories as to why the Celtics didn’t make a move. The hosts wonder if the mystery deal may have been overblown a bit to pump up some interest in the Celtics and also maybe make fans happy to make it seem like the Celtics were doing something. Interesting taking. Also: David Lee talk and how that affects the Mavs pick (with some late college basketball talk as well to close the show) and there’s also some recapping of the Jazz and Nuggets game from way back.
Should also be noted that CLNS Radio is doing very quick pregame podcasts featuring brief convos with someone from the other side before every game. This week: Wolves (Jerry Zgoda), Bucks (Gery Woelfel), and Heat (Ethan Skolnick.) Skolnick: “Dwayne Wade and LeBron James LOVE Brad Stevens.”

The Lowe Post - towards the end of the show, Zach and Amin discuss the Celtics and all the trade assets, and who they thought the Celtics last minute target was at the trade deadline.
