| 0:08.0 | Welcome to Dan Bernstein Unfiltered here on 312 Sports. Dan Bernstein, our executive producer, Matt |
| 0:14.8 | Abattacola. We are presented in partnership with My Booky. |
| 0:21.2 | And we have much to discuss today. |
| 0:23.8 | We had the start of basketball season last night. |
| 0:26.4 | And its own story was the return of the NBA to NBC. |
