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? Is there a concrete definition to what is and what is not a successful season? What are the team’s biggest and least of concerns? Which teams, save for the Cleveland Cavaliers present the most problems with the Celts in the East? With the season just days a week, LHR and Bob give an entire individual and team rundown on the coming 2016-17 NBA campaign. It’s all on this week’s Celtics Beat.

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. And that’s not all.  Justin and Bobby Manning of CelticsBlog run through the mailbag and answer (almost) all of your questions! It’s all on this week’s Celtics Beat.

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.
