Abrupt commercials
No one is working for free but the amount of commercials and how they cut off mid-sentence caused me to just skip the last few

They talk more about how their takes are perceived than the Celtics
Had to stop listening. Different podcasters sometimes just want to talk about “I believed in this guy before anyone!” I had to stop listening to this podcast because the hosts would not stop talking about how smart they are for buying into Paul George on the Celtics so early. I kept fast forwarding to see if they’d stop and actually talk about the Celtics, but nope it kept coming back to them being “right” the earliest. They’re not the only podcast that has done it, and I assume it’s because people online love pointing out when they’re wrong so they want to point out when they’re “right”. But it just does not make for an enjoyable listening experience

Lazy sports journalism
See CLNS. See Andy Kaufman. Jaylen Brown called them out on their laziness.

No Shaugnessy
No chance I’d listen to him and borderliney want to delete the pod. Useless tripe for 30 years

Good listen
I appreciate that Kaufman is a C’s fan and brings that perspective. He has some good guests on the show. However, in some episodes Evan Valenti sounds like he is talking through a tin can.

Crazy talk
The warriors could play the Celtics 100 times in 2018 and they are not losing a single game. Not one

Very wordy
Adam is too wordy and to be honest I fast forward to find the guest responses. It would be better to be less verbose and more succinct. Let the guests talk.

Great pod
Kauf knows what he’s talking about. He regularly wipes the floor with me in head to head DFS matches in basketball

Love this podcast
I am a huge Celtics fan and love the expansive analysis of the team. This is a must listen if you are a fan of the team.

Awesome Podcast
Kaufman is articulate, knowledgeable and organized. Each podcast hums. Wish there were more.

Missing Tony Allen
Great to hear T Allen look back on Celtic glory days, life long relationships and his appreciation for C’s fans. No surprise Marcus is his man! Great interview, keep up the outstanding content. Always a fantastic look behind the scenes with the Sons of Red!!

Fairly horrible💩
Panders to guests opinions. No original thoughts. Listen to locked on Celtics instead.
displeased😺
Love the podcast, esp. AK
Great podcast, love the 52 week hustle, and Adam’s approach to engaging guests / driving interesting debate. With that said... Whenever Evan hosts the show, he talks 3x more than the actual guest, and it often comes off as an unstructured stream of consciousness. A lot of words used, but often difficult to pinpoint what he actually said. It’s tough to listen to. I’d encourage Evan to leave it to his guests more often. Just because you don’t say as much personally isn’t a bad thing. Fewer, more impactful interjections

Major Audio Problems and why Sunday only?
I wish that the major inconsistencies in audio quality would be taken care of, it seems like a no brainer for an audio only product to have decent audio. The difference in levels between ads and interviews is often really jarring, and a lot of times I can’t understand or hear the guests on the show. I often times find that the information on the pod is already dated and old by the time they release it on Sundays because they mostly do the interviews during the week. This makes a lot of the conjecturing and predictions on the pod completely useless by the time you listen. The point of this medium is to be able to release long form more in depth conversations as soon as you want, and they do not take advantage of this at all. This shouldn’t be released on Sundays like a TV broadcast schedule - let’s join the 21st century and put the content out as soon as it’s produced!

Excruciating Amount of Commercials
The host tries to hard edit the commercials against the show to force you to listen, and they come up almost every five minutes The host is good but this is commercial shilling at its core. This problem does not afflict Celtics Stuff Live.

The Kenny Anderson pod is a must listen!
Great interview! Good to hear from Kenny and glad he is doing well.
Mighty Stein
Great podcast....but
Wonderful information shared but I wish they didn’t use profanity sometimes. I know that’s not a problem for many but for those of us who like to listen together with our families or just prefer to not here that type of language it is a problem. Needless...throw it out.

Best Celtics Takes
Adam has been doing a great job covering the Celtics for years. It’s just simply better now that he is available on demand in this podcast!

Top notch podcast for a top notch team
I look forward to this on my Sunday mornings to catch up on all my Celtics news. They always have interesting guests. If you like basketball you will love this podcast. Go Celtics!!!! Update: I miss the Sunday podcasts. No other podcasts come out on Sunday and enjoyed this one on SUNDAYS.

Sensationalized topic
Adam used the episode where Dr. Selene P appeared (discussing Kyrie's injury), in a manner I and others thought was unprofessional. Look at Adam's twitter posting on March 28, 2018 where he posted link to this episode. Review all comments, there were many of them and almost every comment did not appreciate the fact that he was using misleading information (even after Kyrie's prognosis was known) to lure listeners. He continued reiterating outlandish statements the Dr made prior to Irving's surgery (without even treating Irving). I personally find podcasts of John Karalis, Jay King, Jared Weiss and a few others more objective and balanced. I have Unsubscribed to his podcasts due to losing respect for host's credibility.

New guy, still great show
Took a couple episodes to get used to it, but the show is still great and a must listen. The last show with the orthopedic doctor from Duke shows the effort to bring analysis not available on any other other Celtics outlet. HOWEVER, please at least have a 20+ minute show every Sunday, in addition to other days. The show was an integral part of my Sunday routine and I miss it!

Must listen podcast for Celtics fans
One of the best Celtics podcasts out there. Highly recommend. More episodes would be great!
loveit!!?!?!?
Fantastic host and conversation
This show is the gold standard when it comes to Celtics talk. If you’re Celtics fan and you don’t want to hear just all positive news you want to mixture of both positive and constructive criticism this is by far the best Celtics podcast and radio show you can hear. Thanks goodness Adam Kaufman is the host he someone who is clearly connected to the Celtics brand and it mean something to them and it obviously shows in the quality of conversations that he has. Adam you’re doing a great job I’m not someone who just is coming on here to say thatI truly enjoy listening to the podcast every week at my leisure. I’m glad I stumbled upon it I was not able to listen to your morning radio show on Saturdays anymore and I was very sad. But somehow I managed to figure out that you were on here and I’m so glad that I found this podcast. Everyone spread the word to all the Celtics fans that are diehards or just fans that are people who love basketball. Adam if there’s one thing I could say for constructive criticism it would be to continue to have a balanced approach and keep things in both positive and negative don’t sway too much one way or the other and I think you’ll be fine. If we want to hear negative all the time will definitely know where to tune in it’s just nice to hear both sides because the reality of the world is that nothing is in black-and-white everything is in shades of gray and that’s the best podcast that you can develop because that’s realistic. The Celtics are neither a perfect or a terrible product they’re definitely a product that has its good and bad points and we need someone to point out both in a reasonable and professional fashion. You’re the man.

More shows!
Great show and great insights. Only thing is that we need more!

An absolute must listen.
This is by far the best Celtics and NBA podcast I’ve heard by far. Adam Kaufman is informed, fair, and articulate(most of the time anyway). The guests are solid, sound quality is great, there are no negatives other than we need more of these shows! Thanks for doing this Adam, I know you love talking about the Celtics and the NBA in general and it shows! Keep it up!!!

Best Celtics Podcast Around
I've always loved Adam, but had a difficult time getting up for his Celtics at 7 show on weekends. There are many great NBA podcasts, but not many that focus strictly on the Celtics. Definitely download and sponsors should be lining up!

Good Stuff
One of the best sources of C’s news and analysis.

Fabulous Celtics pod
This is a must-listen for any Celtics fan. Agree or disagree, it's informative, opinated and entertaining!
MikeP75
Professional & Consistent
The most professionally-produced and consistent Celtics podcast. Every Sunday morning, there is a new so waiting. CLNS gets a great lineup of local and national guests for CelticsBeat in every episode like Mike Gorman, Jeff Goodman, Steve Bulpett & the RealGM guys. It is the least homer-ish Celts podcast. Host Larry does not mince words, sometimes sticks his neck out there & gets it wrong but that is another thing that makes this podcast so great. ☘️

Favorite Celtics Podcast!!
My favorite podcast that I anticipate every weekend! Great content that mixes old and new basketball in the NBA.
Akshay Ram
Great guests!
Has great guests but never lets them talk. It's crazy how condescending he can be to some very smart basketball minds.
Bruce Maine
Theme Music?
What is with the horrible background music going on far too long! Please stop, so ridiculous and distracting. Also, stop interrupting your guests!

A must listen for Celtics fans!
An unbiased review of the Boston Celtics by Larry H Russell and a rotating cast of guests.

Great Insight
I think the podcasts give great insight to Celtics news. They always have great guests on the show (Jeff Goodman, Chris Forsberg, Abby Chin). Very knowledgable sources and it's great for Celtics fans to see and hear them!

Awesome discussions and insights!!
Great for us Green People who want deeper discussion on the normal Celtic topics, or just different Boston Celtics topics beyond only the "trade rumor mill" stuff.
