we'll see the consistency that we can have going on. i think that'll be the challenge for all of us. well in just two days the warriors tip off their 75th season golden state opens tuesday night in la against the lakers venice the home opener thursday night against the clippers at chase center. stephan curry seems to be getting better and better. that's a scary thought for the rest of the league. like to see the warriors shoot plenty of threes they can do that as well golden state hit 16 from downtown and fridays preseason finale the warriors did finish the preseason a perfect 5-0 and after losing the nba's inaugural play in tournament last season their sights are set on making a deep run in the playoffs this season. our expectations are definitely higher this year than they have been the last couple years and the way the league works, you know, you kind of need to step it up everybody in the locker room wants to win the championship first and foremost. whatever that takes, so we're just trying to be as prepared as possible with all these pieces we have i definitely think we're a championship caliber team good mix of guys and i feel like we can be really good defensively

and we have a bunch of guys i can you know for the ball in the hoop. so i think we'll be especially here for us. wnba finals candace parker and chicago with a chance to close out diana taurasi in phoenix and game for chicago trail by nine with four and a half to go but parker's three ties it at 72 with two minutes to go crowd fired up there and shut down stephanie. dolson's layup give chicago the lead for good on 11-0 run chicago native chance the rapper just besides himself sky win 80 to 74 their first wnba title, which was chicago native parker's goal and coming to her hometown team sharks top. think william eklund was among five players making their nhl debut last night in san jose season opening win over winnipeg beckland got his first nhl point assisting on thomas hurdles. go ahead goal the 19 year old rookie understands. he's playing with the big boys now, it's different. it's the best players in the world. so it's got to be a big difference. but yeah, like i think that better guy it's about you know on this league doing it

consistently night and night out and that's part of the challenge that we're gonna have to work on. ensure that we we got that foundation that we bring to the game every night and that structure. so dion is sad as some of us are about the giant season ending, you know sharks start. the 49ers will be back next week and the warriors and then got college. we have a lot of things. it's just unfortunate that the giant season ended. i know we got to move ahead one step in front of the other. here we got. this chris you can do it. all right. thanks. well a big art exhibit in south bay today focused on the cozier side of creativity. we'll t
