ernie: cruz and kasich. cruz is hoping to keep it a two-man race. >> it seems that kasich will come in between cruz and trump. can he move closer to trump instead of staying in the teens with cruz? he needs to do that in order to establish his credibility and show that he can be a real threat if the republicans get into a deadlock at the e toth two vote getters. ernie: thanks for joining us. we'll be checking it out tonight. other politics. we have special elections underway to replace sheldon and dean skelos. four candidates are vying to fill silver's seat. and chris mcgraff is facing todd kaminsky. >> there's a lot going on in terms of the weather. we'll take a break now. nick, it's been gorgeous. nick: it has. we had a great day. a little windy. we were watching for the potential for brush fires which we had earlier. that will be diminishing tonight. high pressure builds down. you'll enjoy a couple of sunny days coming up. ernie: join us tomorrow. we all have stress in our lives. more people are turning t

ernie: this is a lot. russ: you're talking about guys that are not just marquis players on the court, off the court, big time commercials. ernie: can the clippers manage without him? russ: i was going to say this. let me put it to you this way. stephen curry, who's regarded as the best player in the league for the defending champion golden state warriors, he's out for two weeks with his injured knee. without curry than the clippers could have functioned without paul because paul is a guy who drives the bus. ernie: are you saying the clippers are done? what are you saying here? russ: i thought they were going to be done if paul didn't come back. paul had surgery today to fix the fracture in the hand. that's -- he's gone at least three weeks, a month. they're not going to make it a month. with griffin out, they are done. ernie: what a heart breaker. russ: this is the nba playoff showcase. i'm a clippers fan or a warriors fan. you want your best guys playing. ernie: absolutely. fans are upset. talk about neil
