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.
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 15th, 2015.  Powered by CLNS Radio.
