oakland, california, game one of the nba finals between the golden state warriors and the cleveland cavaliers. it's a great match-up for the nba. i'm excited about it. honestly, i'm excited about any news that doesn't involve the kardashians. [ cheers and applause ] they're not marrying any of these players, are they? golden state has home court advantage in this series, which has iman shumpert concerned. apparently, shumpert, which is his real name, by the way, saw the movie "san andreas," the movie where dwayne johnson beats up an earthquake? anyway, he tweeted this. he said, i know y'all got home court advantage, but after watching san andreas with wifey, can he play all four in cleveland, because i ain't got time for tidal wave emoji, i guess. i don't blame him. he's going have to risk it if he wants to win a championship ring. the team that wins the first game has a significant

advantage. and the team that wins the last game wins almost guaranteed, almost every single time. the warriors are favored in las vegas. if you bet $100 on the warriors, you could win $40. the warriors -- i know they are the favorite. they feel like the favorite and the underdog, probably because of lebron james. it's hard to think of lebron as an underdog, but you have to remember, golden state, they're wore warrior, they will throw a spear through their chest. will the cavaliers find a way to shut down stephen curry? and the big answer is, no, they will not. stephen curry is an amazing player. mvp of the league this year, despite the fact he is only 11 years old. [ laughter ] he's in the sixth grade.

[ applause ] 50 cent is a knicks fan. tough year for new york basketball fans. and it's been a tough one for l.a. fans, too. the lakers were terrible this

year and the clippers blew a 3-1 series lead over the rockets in round two. people say l.a. basketball fans are detached, that we don't pay attention unless our teams are winning, so, we decided to put that to the test. yesterday, we went out on the street near the staples center to ask self-described pbl fans about the clippers being in the nba finals. now, the clippers are not in the nba finals. they were eliminated two weeks ago. but that didn't stop people from hopping on the bandwagon for a ride on a special clippers edition of "lie-witness news." >> with the clippers in the finals, describe the mood in the city right now. >> i would say since the kings got out, i think everyone is focusing on the clippers and they're really rooting for them. and just to see an l.a. team in finals makes everybody root a little harder. >> describe the energy in the city with the clippers in the finals. >> i think it's a great energy.

everybody's extremely excited, looking forward to the game. >> will you be watching game eight tonight? >> i will be watching game eight tonight. >> and where is that? >> just at a bar by my house. >> do you think that chris paul will ever recover from the t-shirt cannon mishap? >> i hope so. i hope so. i'm sure he did not mean any harm by it, personally. >> you see that happen? >> yes, i did. >> pretty awful. >> i think everyone saw it. >> can you just describe it for me? >> i don't want to describe it. >> it's pretty gruesome. >> it was a little bad. >> were you blown away by the clippers amazing comeback during game eight against the rockets? >> absolutely. that's fantastic. i was very blown away by that comeback. >> where did you watch it? >> i'm a ucla law student, so, i watched it in our lounge. >> in the lounge? >> yeah. we have a nice lounge. >> the truth is very important to you? >> yes. >> as a law student. >> yes. >> do you think being eliminated hurts their chances of winning?

>> i don't know. i've never -- i don't think so. i don't think it would. >> is there anything you want to say to the clippers as they go for the championship tonight? >> let's go, guys. i got faith in you. >> good luck, clippers. >> i wish you good luck, coach mussolini. >> jimmy: a real hard guy, that coach. we have to take a break. but still to come, 50 cent and an all-new nba edition of mean tweets. we'll be right back. wheatgrass milkshake?
