| 0:00.0 | Another Championship for the Golden State Warriors. |
| 0:02.8 | How about that, huh? |
| 0:04.1 | Unbelievable. |
| 0:04.9 | And now basketball season is over and I did a rant on this today. |
| 0:12.2 | The NBA has got to be figuring out what has gone on with their league. |
| 0:17.0 | The TV ratings for the NBA finals were awful. |
| 0:21.0 | The game is not compelling or as compelling as it used to be. There are way too many |

| 1:56.0 | And I don't think what we just witnessed |
| 1:57.8 | in this year's NBA playoffs was an aberration. |
| 2:01.0 | Okay? I don't. I think it's going to be, it's the new NBA. It's the way the game is played now. And I just think the league needs to figure it out. They need to figure it out. So again, |
