| 0:00.0 | This is what I like to call the real opening night in the NBA our first real league past night. |
| 0:04.6 | We did the Twitter NBA show really enjoyed that so we're gonna get to Philly and Washington. |
| 0:09.1 | That was an extremely exciting game. The Spurs clinically dissecting Minnesota and then two that |
| 0:15.4 | weren't nationally televised. Memphis and New Orleans really wanted to see both of those teams, |
| 0:19.3 | especially New Orleans with cousins and Davis together. And then also two other teams were really |
| 0:24.2 | excited about in the Northwest Division Utah and Denver sponsored today by stamps.com. |
| 0:30.8 | Use that cap space code to get their four week trial offer plus postage and a digital scale without |
