| 0:00.0 | Well, here is part two of my interview with Eric Pinkis. |
| 0:03.2 | By the way, my microphone crapped out, which is why you're listening to me through my computer mic. |
| 0:08.1 | I apologize for that. |
| 0:10.7 | But regardless, here's part two. |
| 0:12.9 | I spoke with Eric Pinkis about the philosophy of the NBA penalizing the Warriors for the draft picks. |
