he'll get it back. i mean, dislocated finger, it sucks, but luckily you can pop it right back in place and it's not the end of the world. >> it just hurts. speaking of pain, after getting whacked in the eye and missing a significant portion of game two, james harden went to see an eye doctor. he is improving as well heading into game three. no cornea damage, and the beard says bright lights bother him, he will be ready to go on saturday night. >> pain gone away? >> no, still tough, especially bright lights. but i can see a little bit better. so that's all that matters. >> as far as the next game, you're good to go? >> i mean, if i play barely seeing last game, what makes you think i'm going to sit out game three? >> abc7 news is the one and only place you can catch game three between the warriors and the rockets. this is a virtual must-win. if they go down 3-0, the series

is virtually over. tip-off at 5:30 on saturday night followed by after the game. now following up on their tom versus time series with tom brady, facebook has launched a new series called stephen versus the game there is a lot of riley in this. episode one was posted today. you can watch on facebook. that's little steph when he is playing. some great video in here. here is mom sonia on a young steph curry. >> he was 9 years old playing on a 10 and under au team. and they were down by one, and threw him the ball, and he could have won it and he missed the shot. broke our hearts. you didn't like that feeling, did you? no. so now you know what to do next time. i'm like he is 9 years old, good gracious. >> dad del. you don't want to feel like that

again, get out there and practice. and some more, and some more. of course, del was one of the greatest shooters in league history. >>. >> game four of the play-off series with the avalanche. team teal is up 2-1. but the number one seed is getting upset in the east and the west, the sharks really have a legitimate chance to perhaps capture their first stanley cup. at morning skate, head coach peter deboer bristled at the idea of the sharks being a true underdog story. >> no, we're trying to win the stanley cup. you got joe thornton. he is almost retiring, and he hasn't won a stanley cup. so that's what we're trying to win a stanley cups. this isn't a rudy story. >> our main focus is on this game. that sits one game at a time. it will set up nicely for us if we can win this tonight. but got to bring their best effort and throw their best hockey at us, and we got to be ready for that. we got to come prepared and play 60 minutes of our best hockey. >> we'll have highlights at 9:00

and 11:00. >> in case you missed this last night, a dodgers fan had two foul balls and sprayed his garlic fries all over the place, and a couple of minutes later lost his pizza. so the dodgers are offering him pizza the next time he goes to a game in l.a. how generous. we want to call your attention to the slice of pizza that landed on this woman in the blue there, and see what she does there. that's a pizza? just drop that on the floor. i don't need that. she's got a glass of champagne, i think, in her right hand. this pizza is not going to mix with what i'm drinking here. so we'll just get rid of that right here. that's all right. he's not going to notice that. >> pizza and fries at stadium prices. >> exactly, exactly. it was rough night. but he did get a souvenir. he got a foul ball. so not entirely a lost evening. >> what kind of champagne was she drinking? that's what i want to know. >> you can get almost anything at oracle park. >> there you go. >> really fun to see what the sharks are doing and like you

said, great point about the warriors. that could have easily tipped to a totally different situation. >> any one thing. any one injury. and same thing. the houston people are thinking oh, man, james can't see. with steph, it's the finger or the ankle. you don't really know what can go wrong. that's why you don't want to play extra games. that's why the two extra games against the clip. >> you don't want the play extra games. >> thanks, larry. june us tonight at 9:00 on kofy tv 20, cable channel 7/13. a man falls into an active volcano on the big island. the one bit of luck that saved his life. that's at 9:00. and on abc7 news at 11:00, matching teens with odd jobs in their community. meet the mom looking to build a better bay area with her new app. and coming up tonight on abc7 news, a special crossover event with "grey's anatomy" and "station 19" at 8:00. and then "for the people" and stay with us for abc7 news at 11:00. that will do it for this edition of abc7 news 7.
