Jerome Moiso is walking through that door fans…

The 58th pick isn’t getting anyone excited anytime soon, especially in a draft that has been labeled among the worst ever. Thankfully, Danny Ainge isn’t that boring and despite his protests to the contrary, his history has not been one to sit on his hands while all the other GM’s get to have all the fun.

Ainge has a lot of "chips" at his disposal and in case you have cruised around the internet lately, the blogs and message boards have noticed. Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen are two of the most commonly used names in conjunction with trade rumors and those rumors will only grow the closer we get to Draft Night. To sort it all out, Celtics Stuff Live was pleased to have the legendary Mike Gorman on the broadcast in his first post season appearance of the year.  Mike again reiterated that it is unlikely we’d see Ray or Rajon traded, but that the real strength of Danny Ainge is that he listens to any and all offers. While this may lead to a lot of chatter, the results have been pretty good.

While Mike was not all that enamored with the free agent class of this summer, but he noted that the global economic slowdown may keep prices of free agents down which should only help a championship contending team like the Celtics.

To wrap the show, Jon and Justin looked ahead to Thursday night’s draft and Celtics Stuff Live’s Draft Night show from 7:30 until things start slowing down. Join us at Comcast Sports Net and Celticsstufflive.com.

The offseason is upon us at Celtics Stuff Live, but we "break" for no one and that includes the minor fact that the Celtics won’t play another game for nearly four months. Already we have seen the first trade rumor of the summer which I believe was titled "OMG!! RAY AND RONDO TO PHENIX FOR AMORE AND BARBOSA!!!" Or maybe not, but you get the drift… this won’t be the first rumor of the summer, that is certain.  To help us weed out the good stuff this evening, Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald joined us to chat about all things Celtics through what should be a potentially pivotal period for the team as it looks toward Banner 18 and beyond.

Steve displayed some disappointment that the team felt it was necessary to keep the media and the fans in the dark regarding Garnett’s injury status, but it didn’t appear that he’s ready to throw hands with the "Wycster". We broached the subject of the Ray/Rondo rumor and Steve noted that the team is going to listen to everyone, but indicated that the team made the deals it did for Allen and Garnett to win as many championships as it could with them as key players on the Celtics. Fast forwarding to the present, Celtics are resolved to keeping Rondo in uniform for his entire career, and that neither the team nor Rondo’s agent are looking at maximum contract money in a deal. Certainly good news for the Rondo fans, like myself, out there. However Steve mentioned the team seems much more committed to building around Pierce, Garnett, and Rondo than Ray.

It’s been 24 hours and Big Baby is still the talk of Celtics fans and the league as the rotund forward transformed the team from potentially being down 3-1 to tying their series with Orlando at 2 with a pair of games left to play at home. For some sports shows, that would be enough analysis to keep them full until Memorial Day… not Celtics Stuff Live.

Jon and Justin spent a lot of time talking about the man who made the pass to Baby on that play, Paul Pierce, and his effort on Sunday night in the context of his ability to come through when the Celtics need him most for his entire career. A fantastic email from John in Boston took this point to the next level in discussing Rajon Rondo’s absurdly KG-like line and Justin made the point that we may be seeing the next Paul Pierce in the form of the former Kentucky point guard.

Be certain to follow us on twitter and Facebook and tune in to our next show on Friday when some guy named Mike Gorman makes his return to the bright lights of Celtics Stuff Live.

Baby, baby… where’d our love go?

I’m no Diana Ross, but speaking on behalf of myself, Justin, and the staff of Celtics Stuff Live we want to issue a formal apology for not respecting the jiggle, the wiggle, and the jumper that made us covering our eyes like we were being covered in pig blood on stage next to Carrie. Nope, we apologize a thousand times Glen and those blown defensive assignments and rotations as soon as minutes prior to your big shot are long forgotten.

In our first show since the Titanic Toddler hit his shot, Celtics Stuff Live will be pumped and jacked to hit the air tonight at 9pm joined by Major Domo of Celticsblog, Jeff Clark.  No doubt we’ll hit all the high points of last night’s game and look ahead to the always pivotal Game 5 on Tuesday night.

As always one can check out our Facebook page or follow your humble scribe on twitter, and check back to this spot later today for the link to the show.

Celtics Stuff Live hit the airwaves Thursday night feeling pretty good following the Celtics dominant performance in Game 2 and the late afternoon word that Rafer Alston would be suspended for Game 3 due to his inexplicable swat to Eddie House’s head in last night’s fourth quarter. Still, questions surrounding Paul Pierce and the bench’s ability replicate their Game 2 performance don’t allow a completely comfortable night’s sleep, but such is life of an NBA fan in the playoffs.

Scott Souza of the Metro West Daily News was kind enough to spend a few minutes with Jon and Justin to offer some of his impressions from last night’s contest and provide an update following today’s practice at Healthpoint. Scott offered a bit of a preview of his article for Friday’s paper where he delves a bit deeper into the Celtic bench, specifically in the backcourt, and Scott finds perhaps a rosier picture than many fans have seen over the last few weeks. Scott rightly notes, that even during last year’s championship run it took some time before Doc found a rotation he was comfortable with and that seemed to turn out all right for all involved.

Following Scott’s turn with CSL, Jon and Justin answered a voicemail and email on Paul Pierce and his struggles so far in the playoffs, and wrapped it all up with having a pair of callers on the show at the same time as an intriguing way to still end the show in an hour… however, we failed.

The DVR’s will get a rest for tonight, but chatting about the Celtics will not take a night off.

After a thrilling blow out of the Magic in Game 2, the Celtics are now making their way down to Orlando feeling quite good about themselves and their chances for the rest of this second round series. To discuss last night, and the road ahead, Scott Souza of the Metro West Daily News will join us and perhaps give us the 411 on an appearance by Bill Russell that he is attending tonight prior to CSL hitting the air. 

As always, we will be taking your phone calls, voice mails, emails, and smoke signals. However to be hip and current, CSL has created a new Facebook page for the site and you can follow me (CSL_Duke) on twitter for the latest snarky things off of my fingertips.

See you all tonight!
