There's no holding back on the court or on the mic Follow the Dre Mayn green show wherever you get your podcast It's time for Brad bag Oh, surely it's time to grab back here on Jones and Keith W. E. I. Grab bag is brought to you by Awaken 180 weight loss the Boston Celtics Jones are in action tonight's sum Our calling it an NBA finals preview eight o'clock tip off from San Antonio on peacock Hmm, it is the Spurs and it is the Celtics both are two seeds currently in their respective conferences Victor one by Amma having an MVP Calibre season as is Jalen Brown this would be the third game back for Jason Tatum Spurs are a nasty home team. They're three and a half point favorites But a nice test. This is a good couple of games back to back here
1:02Not back to back day off in between but Spurs tonight Thunder on Thursday Looking forward to both of these well, yeah, and they're both potential finals previews And I think the Celtics have a chance to prove they're not just the favorites in the east which they should be they They might go right to the top of the heap if they have a good week here against these two teams We were looking at the Tatum props earlier today and again at at the risk of College Tom don't do it. It catching his wrath again. He said again. You're my dog, but don't you ever bet against Jason Tatum Tatum's number looks like it has oh, no, it's still the same 19 and a half the juices on the underkey Okay, all right. I'm gonna I'm not gonna. I'm not I'm not I'm gonna know better I don't want to visually bet against again facing the wrath of Tom, but I would I would bet that seems 27 20 points 27 minutes. I don't think he's been on a minute restrictions He said he was did he was all a set post game. I was all of a set. I wasn't well I was also a maniac true fair point and so you know when he's at his peak He's playing like 34 35 minutes maybe more something so like maybe maybe he kind of is but he also it'd be hard to tell by the games

He did Campbell story, Meyer, Durbin, Nervias, all in the line So as you say, I think the the roster news today is that Cora basically confirmed Durbin's the opening day third baseman Yeah, so I don't think it's a shock, but he pretty much said that today Y'all ungrateful World baseball classic Jones it has been electric.

12:38The Odyssey on yeah, grab back the 400 Putting the X rated into X these guys are stupid as Bob Ryan tweeted All right, Jones a lot of people are asking the question has Bob Ryan tweeted. Let's say yes Yeah, yes, I figured. Yeah, yeah, yes Uh, all right, so Sergeant dash Sarge for short tweeted out not that No, not that sorry. That's what is his last sergeant who's rallying up the the the fellas there for the Patriot symbol Okay, best two guard in the 80s. Oh Uh, and then just lists the accomplishments from 81 to 84 MJ. Oh No, no, it's just in the 80s and then it says best two guard in the 80s and it's a picture of Dennis Johnson Okay, and it said he was all defensive second team and all NBA second team in 81 All defensive first team and all NBA first team in 82
13:40Defensive player of the year in 82 defensive player of the year in 83 all NBA second team in 83 all defensive first team in 83 and 84 Uh, he wasn't the best to guard at the 80s. I got to care where this is going He wasn't the best. Well, and then somebody responded to that post by saying can't imagine how interesting It was to cover the NBA slash Celtics during your career to which Bob said it was a joy and a privilege to have covered the Celtics from 1969 Nice to 2012 Yeah, that's definitely a brag. Oh, I like that. They call them the Peter gamins and basketballs what they call them. Is that what they say? Yeah That's not wrong. She was living in a single room with three other individuals One of them was a male and the other two who had the other two of crab bags I don't know what they were up to in there. Let's find out who the best NBA player was Last night. I already know. Was it Jalen Williams? Not that Jalen Williams. No, he had a good idea though Jalen Williams. Seven threes. I think 29 and 12 Thank you. Was it Kauai Leonard? Definitely not 29 points seven boards
14:41Eight assists was a Carl Anthony town. Uh-huh 35 points 12 rebounds and Seven assists was it Nikola Yochich nope good game though 32-14 and 13 or was it Shay Guildress Alexander 35-9 and 15 SGA who was like the prohibitive MVP favorite? No I saw Bill Simmons tweeted out Minus one thousand To be the MVP not a great match. I think you missed your buying window on him. Yeah, get in there on the SGA Jalen Browne was fifth. It was like a distant fifth because he had Yochich some order Yochich Wembee and Kade Cunningham, but looking like that would be the all NBA first team, I guess It's time for Jones and Keves random Brandon Phillips Curtis Blascanic baseball player of the day All right, we have a major league pitcher who was a right-handed arm right-handed stick 11 seasons in the majors
