0:04.3	All right, Boomer and Geo coming you live for the build forward tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network.
0:11.7	Nicks get their long, important regular season underway tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
0:18.7	Already heard some of the injuries that they are dealing with.
0:21.9	But this regular season, man, this cannot be a rocking chair type of regular season where it's all about, you know, the postseason and who cares?
0:29.5	Because, you know, last year, you know, they scuffled and were disappointing in the regular season for most of the year.
0:36.7	Now, they ended up winning a series against Boston.
0:39.3	We didn't expect them to win, but still ultimately didn't get any further.
0:45.0	Did not get to an NBA finals, which they're going to have to do clearly this year to be a successful season.
0:52.6	But this needs to be like a statement regular season. This can't be, oh, we're figuring things out or blah, blah, blah. No, you weren't one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

1:38.6	because according to Matt Barnes,
1:42.7	Ron Artec and Kobe Bryant just ran over his ass. That's that those are
1:47.3	his words, not mine. Yeah. And that they were subbing themselves in and out of games. I hope he
1:53.2	learned from that experience. And I know that those are two very strong-minded and strong-willed
