and that's why we've replaced hundreds of miles of gas pipeline, adopted new leak detection technology that is one-thousand times more sensitive, and built a state-of-the-art gas operations center. we can never forget what happened in san bruno. that's why we're working every day to make pg&e the safest energy company in the nation. spurs-rock playing now. who do you think the warriors want to play? >> doesn't matter who they want to play. this just into the fox 2 sports department. they definitely will be playing the san antonio spurs. you can guarantee that. the rock just completely laying an egg. we'll visit that equation in a little bit.

but first of all the warriors as they get ready to play the spurs on sunday at the oracle. they're just about as healthy as they have been all year, trying to get a little work in. no real issues physically, but they have a great thing going for them. and that would be the bench. and in particular we're going to talk about shaun livingston today. this guy had a sprained ankle a few weeks back. he is completely healthy. he just provides so much veteran leadership off the bench with the second unit. you know what he says? this team has got true chemistry. >> we've got real guys, guys that are genuine. it's no fake love. nobody is with an agenda. guys have an issue. we can all come up and -- we're all grown men. we can all say what we need to say. at the end of the day, it's about winning. somebody has an issue with americas i'm not playing hard enough, whatever, i want them

to say that to them. >> they always say it's not over until it's over. it's over in houston. the rock didn't even show up tonight. without kawhi leonard, the houston fans trying to rub it in. sprained ankle. well, why not. check this. simmons getting the start for leonard. look at him. first career start in a playoff, he comes out raring to go. hits the three. popovich seems very happy. james harden playing maybe the worst game of his year. he's picked right there. harden had five points, five turnovers. that was patty mills out of st. mary's with the pick and go. fourth quarter now, the rock have been trailing by 20 pretty much this entire game, and a that's not going to change. meantime the life of a major leaguer. giants played an afternoon game in new york city yesterday, and by now, they're back home, and they have to play tonight. those kinds of things won't happen in the future as their

labor agreement is going to change next year. you can't fly across the country and be expected to play the next day. they will be playing with brandon crawford who is back from a groin strain, and denard span what banged up his shoulder on that play in colorado, and missed a couple of weeks. he will be back. should bea boost of energy. certainly let's hope so because span hasn't done much, even when he is healthy. >> the hardest thing for me not being able to play is to not be able to go through grind with those guys. i'm just happy i'm back and i just hope that i can bring a little energy and just help this team get back on track. >> all right. well, he didn't seem to have a lot of energy there. let's hope it revs it up by the time the game starts. meantime the nfl taking some heat over this. the question is, why doesn't colin kaepernick have a job when blaine gabbert does after

job? he was signed yesterday by the arizona cardinals. and a gabbert was outplayed by colin kaepernick, no matter what you think of the guy one way or the other. today on the fox show "in the disputed," shannon sharp spoke out sharply. >> what stance he took has everything to do with why colin kaepernick doesn't have a job, and the thing is, is that the nfl is too coward enough to admitted it. blaine gabbert had more interceptions in five games as a starter than colin kaepernick did as 11. colin kaepernick was 16-4. blaine gabbert was 6-5. six touchdowns, five interceptions. he gets the job before the guy that replaced him as a starter. >> making his feelings non. >> got to admit, i agree with him. >> he's got a point. mark, thanks. see you later, everyone. >> good night.
