Celtics Stuff Live-PREGAME-WEric Weiss. Sun. Apr. 20th- 7:00-8:30 PM, EDT.
We'll have an abbreviated show this week, leading up to tip off of the 1st game of the series with Atlanta.
Eric Weiss of "Draft Express " will join us, mid first hour, as JB will depart for the "Garden Express."
JB will ride the "T" into town, to be at the venue in time to give us reports from the street, on the pre game atmosphere and in the press room, for the scoop on any surprise announcements from the team.
Will the Celtics regular season accomplishments translate into playoff success?
Will we have to worry about Coach Rivers' strategies; faced with a shortened rotation, will he revert back to the small ball that has largely been forgotten since the emergence of Leon Powe?
Is Rajon Rondo ready?
Will the Hawks be "first round fodder" as Peter May described in Saturday's Globe column ?
These will be the main topics of discussion on the show, but let's look at one national writer's perspective. Here is Jon Hollinger for ESPN from 4/18 .
If you have a question for our guest or the show you can call our toll free number (1.866.751.9649), send us an e-mail to CSL@CelticsBlog.com, or join us in the chat during the broadcast.
We hope you will join us.

4. How good is Boston, really?
A lot better than you might think. Most observers look at the East and see the Celtics as a really good team who may or may not get past Detroit in the conference finals.
Wake up, folks -- this is one of the best teams of all time, and you might be surprised how easily they roll through the playoffs. I realize this is raining on the parade a bit since everybody is so jacked up about the competition in store this postseason, but I have to warn you there's a chance the Celtics are just going to flat-out destroy everybody.
