0:33 ... Bet Online live commercial read

1:13 ... Bruce Introduces his guests: Arsalan Iftikhar, Eric Newman, & Brad from @celticspost

2:40 ... Bruce asks each guy when they became Celtics fans and who their favorite player is.

9:50 ... Why was this year's Celtics team the one to finally break through and win it all?  Lots of love for Jrue Holiday.

17:58 ... Arsalan explains how Jaylen Brown emulated a character in the old He-Man cartoons

19:42 ... Holiday was the "Third J," and the 48 Minutes podcast played a major role in setting the stage for Holiday to join the Celtics when Giannis Antetokounmpo challenged the Bucks to make a big move.

21:50 ... Many said that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown would never be a great fit as teammates, but they have cracked the code and created an incredible partnership as virtual co-equals.

30:32 ... Bruce dubbed Holiday and Derrick White "The Wardens" because they "lock up" opposing players.  Are they reminiscent of former Celtic legend Dennis Johnson?  Our crew has great appreciation for both of The Wardens for so many reasons.

38:47 ... Every dentist in Boston should offer to fix Derrick White's teeth for free over the summer

39:23 ... Al Horford in 2024 and Kevin Garnett in 2008 were both glue guys on championship teams in Boston.  Our crew compares and contrasts their respective roles but everyone understands what Big Al meant to the 2024 Celtics.  He always was able to keep the team together when the pressure was on.

45:26 ... Arsalan said Peyton Pritchard only makes halfcourt shots.

45:58 ... Joe Mazzulla won everyone over after being much maligned in his first season as head coach.  Team president Brad Stevens showed great faith in Mazzulla when others wanted him fired.  Everyone agrees that he will only get better as a coach.

50:40 ... Bruce thanks his guests and says goodbye and flashes the Larry O'Brien Trophy on the way out.
