551: Has Boston Solved the Non-Tatum Minutes w Dan Greenberg

The heat is finally on with summer just around the corner here in New England. No, not the Miami Heat, or the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals rematch. But the Boston Celtics and the coming off-season which is shaping up to be a wild one. Hosts Ty Ray and “Stats” Adam Lowenstein are in for more Kevin Love talk. Is this deal to Boston a foregone conclusion? Who are the other suitors that could steal him from the Celtics? Well, how about Boston’s famed arch-rival from across the country: the Los Angeles Lakers. Editor-in-chief from Laker Nation Dan Duangdao drops by to offer some insight on the Laker end. Wasn’t the plan all along for Love to wind up back home in LA? And what about the Lakers’ on-going coaching search? Ty Ray spoke with Dan earlier. And oh yeah, that NBA Finals thing. A re-match from last year’s seven game epic. Where will the Miami Heat rank amongst the all time great teams if they win three in a row? And of course, Ty and Adam go Around the NBA in 5.

Keep on truckin’. Rich Conte and “Stats” Adam Lowenstein host another packed edition of Celtics Beat. The Boston Celtics may be sitting at home, but some familiar faces are not. Doc Rivers’ Los Angeles Clippers are in a battle with Kevin Durant’s Oklahoma City Thunder. And Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are in yet another playoff matchup with LeBron James and the Miami Heat. Nick Gelso had a chance to talk with Brooklyn Nets radio color commentator for Coach Tim Capstraw earlier in the day. Of course Nick talked to Coach Tim about Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett. What are their futures in not just Brooklyn, but the NBA? And would this season qualify as a failure if Brooklyn fails to advance past the second round of the postseason? Those draft choices that the Nets have to send over to Boston sure could look pretty. Need some Celtics fix? No sweat.
