Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to KFS study hall and

playback.

My name is Sean for W.

Thank you for joining me today.

And today I am, well, for now, I am flying solo, but not for very long.

We'll get that in a second.

But shout out to everyone in the room and playback that's watching, watching.

Shout to anyone who is listening on a podcast and maybe you're listening in your car,

whatever have you. But if you are listening, if you're watching me now, we are recording this

on Monday evening at 7.05 p.m. quarterfinals of the first ever NBA in-season tournament.

And that's what we're going to discuss today on study hall. The in-season tournament,

obviously we'll dive into it from Nick's angle, but going to discuss today on study hall. The in-season tournament, obviously, we'll dive into a next angle.

But we'll discuss it from a macro level as well because I want to get your thoughts,

people in the room, about how you feel about the tournament and obviously the next chances

and how feasible this will be going forward.

And some other things as well.

So right by myself, because my two normal co-hosts, one just had a baby, and the other has finals.

I'll let you figure out which one is which.

So I said, you know what?

I have no problem of going solo, but I said to myself,

you know what, I bet you there's a certain person that I know would absolutely love to be a part of study hall.

So I'm now bringing him to the stage, if you can figure out how to work it. But today, my potential special guest host is the one, the only Robert W. Cross.
