have 2 to one advantage for voter standpoint, it's very difficult for garvey to kind of overcome that. that bridge. it's a point with which republican political analyst matt klink agrees with steve garvey really needs to do is one needs to raise some money. >> which he didn't do in the primary to he needs to take some positions on some it it's no longer going to be good enough for steve garvey to say that the status quo has messed up washington, d.c., and it's and the government is not working well for the people. he's going to need to get more specific. he expects shift to raise the topic of donald trump throughout the campaign and to continue asking garvey whether he plans to vote for trump. that's a dance that stephen barbee is going to have to do. and ultimately he's going to have to answer the question and no matter how he answers it's going to hurt him with some block in addition to the senate race, all eyes are still on prop one. still too close to call backed by governor gavin newsom. the proposed 6.3 8 billion dollar bond measure 6 to fund more than 11,000

that it's been since late november. so that was before 2020 for the last time we saw a healthy warriors thing. but like you mentioned, andrew wiggins is back tonight. but so is giannis on the dekalb on the side of the books, which, as you know, gave the warrior 33 points the last time out back in january and is very match up. now in that matchup, steph curry didn't play in. steph curry is set to play tonight just as well as everyone else. now, when you speak about the fact is he's ready to play the rotation definitely will not be what we've seen. steve kerr mention now, obviously some people will be left out of the rotation, says they have those guys back there going back with most starting 5 they have with gray coming off the bench. brandon with jesse thing coming. good. draymond green and steph and of course wiggins all coming out where to start now. that being said. right now, the books 16 0 run, they have not dropped a game since the all-star break. they don't mean to make tonight the first and that's wise curry and the warriors have to make a point to do so. especially

as get back after that last game boston against the celtics when they dropped in lost by 52 points. a record where step only had 4 points. believe draymond hit 6 in clay hit sixes. well, they combined for like 16 points are to get it wasn't a great night out for the warriors matter facts, the percentages erase everything you saw on that one. so i wonder if they actually erase the tapes once they get back. >> from field and looked at it. but this what steve kerr had to say about tonight's matchup in the joy, back here in a just do the math and >> there's going to some people who are left out of the rotation is no, no getting around it. and so we're just trying do what we think is right based on how we've been playing who's been playing who's been playing well, that sort of thing and just try to to everything we can to win the game. >> you know, throughout the season's been portrayed that are. number of people that can play has been like a weakness of ours. but i think it's a strength for us. i'm just kind

of going any direction. steve can whatever the game calls where you can put out there. and i think that's something that we have that maybe seems don't. and so to have 11, 12 guys play in my seen kind of funny. but there's always a method to everything steepest. >> you know, listen to brandon there. i do believe that it that is a true statement that it is a strength of their that they have so many people they can play in the rotation, especially when you take note of the fact that steve kerr did mention that we can to step away from the team once again to deal with what he's dealing with, being that, whatever that that is not there was all that this point. they are. we'll on board with wiggins taking some time away from the team, which is why then being able to rotate so many guys in and out. of course, they had to do the same thing with dream. i was going and that helped them see how much of a sha k was not only to the starting line-up but to the stat line altogether. so it is a street

that they have that many guys in rotation that they are that deep this season. but of course, as they kind try to push out of playing consent to where they find themselves steel. they want to make sure they can string along as many wins as they can right now, no matter how. and who's out there to get it jason. >> thank you for that report. aaron. we will have full highlights of that game tonight on sports night live. but now we pass it on over to the weather center. lawrence. my going to make my tee time on friday nights out for to highlight a fly. it is going to be a gorgeous day out there. finally going to catch a break. it all the stormy weather, the next couple of days. of course, rain out there around the bay area today. but things are going to change as high pressure going to take over that ridge going to be just strong enough to lift the jetstream up for at least a couple of days. >> and allowed to dry out for just a few. so out there tonight, things still a couple scattered pop up. shower temperatures generally in the 50's out there right now. i think as we head through the night, little cold spots are probably some some overnight lows dropping off into the

30's. but the storm system bringing really kind of statewide rain again, northern california picking up the rain and then headed all the way into southern california, bringing that more storms, things really active this afternoon across parts of the south and the east bay. but even there you can see some of those cumulonimbus towers begin to crumble. as they fade away, well, still a flood watch or a flood advisory in effect in parts of the east bay. as we've seen a lot of from one of those thunderstorms rolling on through that area. so be careful. lot of piling up there on the roadways. high pressure, though, going to take over as that ridge builds in. it is going to send a that jet stream to the north. that's going bring some nice weather away on thursday and on friday. you're looking good this weekend. couple little weak systems going kind of flow through on saturday and on sunday and then it looks as we get in toward the next week, another one going to roll probably bring a better chance of rain on tuesday. but all these a fairly weak systems that are rolling on by. and that's the good news. starting to look a little more like a spring to be as high pressure start to take over. in fact, by the following week by the following friday or so,

we could be talking about some temperatures up in the 70's, maybe some 80's around the bay area. boy, that be nice. wouldn't it? temperatures tomorrow? probably mid 60's and some of the warmer spots the next couple we dry things out. more sunshine on the way. chance showers on saturday and sunday. none of these look like very large storm zone. so that's some good news good. i'm ready to thaw out. that's what most people are telling me now. and was enough. the rain has been great, but come on. let's get on with some sunshine out and dry out. yeah, thanks all right. we'll be right back. stay with us.
