March 1st is finally here.  The light is at the end of the tunnel.  Spring is just around the corner, as is the end of one of the tougher Boston Celtics seasons for fans to endure in recent memory.

The latest is a contreversy surrounding the team's star point guard Rajon Rondo.  Rondo skipped traveling with the team last weekend in Sacramento so he could celebrate his birthday in Los Angeles.  What to make of what has now been dubbed "BirthdayGate."  Hosts Matt Rury and Larry H. Russell will share their thoughts.

And hey, the Celtics got a win this week.  But things won't get easier as a brutal March awaits.  The Indiana Pacers are in town tonight, and Matt and LHR will pass it off to Rich Conte who had a chat with Pacers color commentator, Quinn Buckner.  Quinn works for Fox Sports Indiana, was a 10 year NBA veteran, and won an NBA Championship in 1984 as a member of the Boston Celtics.  Quinn will share his insights on the Pacers, the development of Paul George and Lance Stephenson, Larry Bird, Danny Ainge, Brad Stevens, and more.

Matt and LHR will also go around the NBA in 5.

Tune in this Saturday, March 1st 2014 at 2 PM ET/11 AM PT.  Only on CLNSRadio.
