Thats what theyre working tonight to try to prevent. Many of the walls have already fallen inward. Tonight as we say this heavy equipment continues to try to control the collapse. They are going to go back up again here. We probably should stay for just a moment with this shot. Liz, you can see how this arm is just articulated off of a tractorred vehicle. He is going to back up now. I think they are going to take a deep breath and assess the situation. In the meantime, we want to start our Team Coverage tonight with phil matier and a fire thats struck at the absolute worst possible moment. Phil. Reporter all right. Its interesting as we are seeing now how dangerous this building is. And fighting this blaze was equally dangerous. The San Francisco firefighters had one thing in their favor. They got lucky. Heres the story. Luck was on our side yesterday. Thats the fastest i have seen a fire spread in my career. Reporter firefighter steve mcgwire was one of the first to arrive at the blaze that experts say hit at the worst possible time during the buildings construction. Its all exposed wood construction. There was no sheetrock or no sprinkler system. Its basically a tinderbox. It went up really quickly. Reporter so quickly, in fact that maguires crew had to abandon their rig in the middle of the street. The windows pops and the sprinkler heads in that building started to activate so water and glass were coming down on us, too. Our tiller operator actually tommy the turkey murphy, he his face actually started to blister. Reporter and heat was just part of the problem. The building leaned and collapsed in certain areas. We have a collapse in the rear of the building. Copy . Reporter the one big break that fire crews got was that the wind, which had been blowing strongly all day, died down for a few crucial hours as they battled the blaze. Otherwise, the blaze could have spread to neighboring buildings that are under construction, as well. A lot of things could have happened. This building right behind us under construction, it did start to catch. We caught that very quickly. Our crews. If the wind had been coming this way, this building could have gone up as well . Absolutely. Then it just keeps spreading from site to site. Absolutely. Reporter figure its going to take about 2 to 2. 5 days to take the building down to the fourth floor where the concrete starts. They want to try to preserve that. As for the cause, the preliminary information appears to be that they were welding on the site and something went wrong. Crews were there construction crews were still there. They phoned it in. Thats where it stands right now. It appears that welds were the start. As for what were going to see in the next couple of days, well, theres going to be a lot more of this. The Building Developer isnt saying anything except for they are looking into what happened. And they are going to proceed as quickly and as safely as they can. Ken, back to you. All right, phil. Thank you for that. A short time ago, the crews started their demolition, they are continuing to work on this corner that forces northwest. And this is 4th and china basin where that articulating arm its a Big Hydraulic arm is going up and grabbing chunks of that building and pull it away. We had a very large piece and a second piece now beginning to fall inward, which is exactly what they want. We saw the fire isnt completely out. We caught a glimpse of some flames feral deep within the twisted metal and rubble left from the main conflagration last night. Another reason crews have been continually hitting this thing with water, since yesterday, in fact, the water has never been turned off, truck 12 moved in to relieve truck 2 and they will be taking over some of the aerial activities, just amazing to watch this building come apart because its all being controlled right now by the demolition experts. They are exceedingly careful not to let this thing tip back into the street and hit some of the adjacent buildings. Its just very delicate, very precise work. And its amazing to just sit here and kind of watch the situation unfold. Firefighters had a number of critical elements on their side yesterday. They had light winds and just one fire. But as Brian Hackney explains, this is also a great example of how things could very easily have spun out of control. Brian. Reporter well, ken, let me ask you this. If instead of one fire, what if there were two fires or five or 60 . Sound crazy . Not in a place where this city has gone up in flames before and its just waiting to go up in flames again. This time last night, people around the bay watched a dramatic example of just how hot one inferno can burn and how much it takes to bring it under control. We were really lucky. But the crews were also very aggressive. Reporter it took half the citys active duty force to keep the fire from spreading. And in San Francisco, fire should grab everybodys attention. How big a conflagration hazard is San Francisco . Its the greatest in north america and its probably the second or Third Largest in the world. After tokyo and a couple of other japanese cities. Why. Because of the density of fuel. Reporter in 2006 we spoke with an urban fire expert. That year, the Centennial Anniversary of the 1906 earthquake and fire, he released a report warning about the dangers of San Franciscos very dense and combustible Housing Stock. 90 of the buildings in San Francisco are wood framed. And the inner parts of the city, russian hill, nob hill, south of market, mission, noe valley and so on. Its exactly what it was in 1905. Reporter its incredible but in 1906, the city had 585 on duty personnel. Today, far less. The number stand at about 330. And while modern firefighting equipment provides advantages, all it would take is a second major fire to stretch the force thin. That was the scenario firefighters feared back in 89 when the loma prieta earthquake sparked that massive fire at beach and divisadero. A fire so big, they almost decided to write off the entire neighborhood. There was no wind. Very, very lucky that night. It should have all gone up. Reporter even the citys own emergency plans spells out the grim reality of a major disaster. As one of the planning assumptions receipts, quote, equipment, personnel and supplies in the immediate vicinity of a major event will likely be quickly expended. So imagine that mission bay fire which required half the city force burning in 60 different city neighborhoods at the same time. If it happens, pray for rain. It all depends on wind speed and humidity. And depending on those factors, those fires will probably grow so fast that the entire Fire Department would not be able to control one of those fires. Reporter why do we mention 60 fires . Thats a low estimate of the number of ignitions expected after a 1906 sized quake. As we saw yesterday, the city can fight one big fire. There is no way it can fight the number of fires that will happen after a major quake. Ken . Yeah, such a scary scenario, brian. Youre right. The city was and has been destroyed by fire several times in the past. And its a scenario that absolutely shakes the Fire Department to the core. They know what the potential is here. This is one example of what can happen in just a few minutes. Thanks for that report. I want to show you just how much water has been poured into the building. This continues the bottom two floors are concrete. As we zoom in, have robert go in there, you can see waterfalls coming off this building. This is thats right built up in the interior as they try to douse the rest of the heat and flames we saw visibly inside not too long ago. Across the street from the fire, residents were forced to evacuate. You can see why. A lot of this building is very unstable. They didnt want people here while the fire was trying to be fought. Many of these folks are not allowed to stay overnight at the strata apartments once again. And kpix 5 reporter ryan takeo talked to one woman who saw the project go up in flames and now she worries she may be out of a job. Ryan. Reporter yeah. There are dozens of these workers who started work on this project months ago, ken. It was supposed to start and open later this year. Well, we know thats not going to happen. And now those who helped build this building up and watched it burn now worry about whats next. It was really i knew it was my building right away. Reporter pam was an electrician. She left work like normal yesterday afternoon. Now she wonders how much longer she will officially work here. She expects she will have to file for unemployment. [ sigh ] i liked that job. Reporter pierre leduc works here too. He owns the Furniture Store across the street. He watched helplessly as the inturn no raged burning feet away from his store. Today the store is still standing. He credits the firefighting strategy called a water curtain. They shoot the water up and it creates a water curtain right in fronted of my store to protect it from the right in front of my store to protect it. That saved my store. Reporter the car out front didnt fare, as well. The whole drivers side melted and part of it was destroyed. The heat cracked and broke dozens of windows in the area. We were there after he checked out his 7th floor unit. Thats crazy looking. Yeah. This is pretty intense this window here. The whole thing could have blown out. Reporter considering what these two saw right across the street yesterday, its no wonder theyre feeling so grateful today. Means a lot to you . Yeah, it does mean a lot to me. I dont know what to say. Thank you so much. I mean, they saved my life. Reporter those store owners and the residents can go in and get their things. They have a couple of minutes to do that but they cant stay here tonight. I dont blame them because of what we just saw a few minutes ago. We want to replay that ryan. Take a look at this video we shot about 15 minutes ago. Actually live on the air when a big portion of this building what was left of the perimeter came down and it came down in a controlled way. You can imagine if this thing teetered across the road. It could potentially have damaged or even injured people in the adjacent buildings here. That was exactly what they were trying to avoid. So they have come out here with a huge articulating arm. Its a hydraulic arm on tractored vehicle. They try to shove it back inside at the same time trying to gingerly try to pull some of the entangled scaffolding out of the way and prevent it from falling into the roadway uncontrolled. Liz will have more on the fire out here at mission bay including some really frantic 911 calls. When you hear thats, it will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Also, how this fire could almost cripple this up and coming Mission Bay Neighborhood. This is a central piece of housing for San Francisco, 360 units in total, about 180 in this structure right now lost because of the fire. And, of course, more of your viewer photos. We appreciate it every time you sent us photos of breaking news. We cherish those and have those on our website. Those can be seen and you can also upload there on kpix. Com. Liz, back to you for now. Well have more coming up. All right, great work out there. Thank you, ken. Well see you then. Is the city cracking down on air b and b . Why hundreds of bay area homeowners renting out their places may be breaking the law. Why a city that got rid of red light cameras is being ordered not to pay the provider. , vacation rentals. Julie watts explains why if youre your house on sites a warning sent to a San Francisco homeowner may put a damper on the Cottage Industry of vacation rent its. Julie watts explains why if youre renting your house on sites like air b and b you may be breaking the law. Reporter San Francisco the see by the bay and one of the most popular with tens of thousands of hopes for rent. This is our primary residence. Were retired so we thought it would be a creative way to help with fixed income. Reporter she said she and her husband occasionally rent out their San Francisco home while they are away on vacation providing a muchneeded supplemental income. It helps us keep up. Reporter until they got this notice of violation from the Planning Department. Turns out what they are doing is illegal. I was in shock just shocked reporter their neighborhood along with most of San Francisco isnt zoned for Short Term Rentals. So the San FranciscoPlanning Department is threatening a penalty of up to 250 each day they continue to list their homes. The vacation market is super lucrative in San Francisco. Landlords recognize it. Reporter a tenants right attorney is among many who believe Short Term Rentals are responsible for a shortage of longterm rentals and ultimately higher rents. They can get 200 in rent on air bnb why rent to a longterm tenant under rent control when you can make a better return in a few days . Reporter they are living in their house and the not otherwise renting it and even paying the city a 14 hotel tax and income tax. Its revenue for us and revenue for the city and state and so on. Reporter but tenants Rights Groups call on the city to sue those violating zoning laws which applies to nearly every shortterm rental in the city. The Planning Commission insists it isnt cracking down and is only singling out deborah and her husband because it received a complaint. We are more than happy to follow a process. Reporter but deborah points out there is no process that legally allows anyone in San Francisco to rent out nearly any house on any of the sites. And apparently, all it takes is a single complaint to put any shortterm rental out of business. Now, the Planning Department has issued nearly 100 similar violations in the past two years for shortterm rentals which is anything under a month. Oddly, this contradicts a resolution signed by the Mayors Office agreeing to tax and regulate shortterm rentals instead of pushing the industry underground which, unfortunately, is likely whats going to happen if its illegal to rent your house short term thank you. Brian, back to the fire in mission bay. We keep talking about how lucky we were that it didnt break out. Three hours later. If we had had you know it got windy last night. If we had those winds that we had at 10 00 at night at 5 00 in the afternoon it would have been a totally different story. We lucked out there. On the morning of the 1906 quake, they also had light winds and look what happened there. I mean, it was the fire that destroyed the city. Even with light winds. As we look now toward the golden gate bridge, winds are still a factor tonight. But they are edging out from northeast to northerlies and by tomorrow they will be northwesterly. Thats a more moist direction. So these dry winds we have had the past 24 hours will begin to ease up even as they remain gusty for the next few hours. Boy, its warm. 77 degrees at this hour in san jose. And were looking at wind out of the north down in san jose and northeasterlies right around oakland and out in san ramon and in the east bay but you can see the shift is beginning to trend toward the north. And that signals a change out in the pacific. Overnight lows we are going to be looking at mid40s for the most part. Sunrise tomorrow morning at 7 24 a. M. And heres whats happening. High pressure thats been out there, coupled with low pressure heading into southern california, provides this perfect corridor for these offshore winds, a dry direction, and with a fairly sizable pressure difference its just like a topographic map. You get tightly spaced contours on a map you know its going to be steep and you get tightly spaced contours on an atmospheric map same thing high gets close to a low the wind blow but this low is going to fill in. High pressure will build and well get offshore winds for the next 12 hours off and on. That will be it. By tomorrow they will be gone. Tomorrow well be looking for readings mostly in the mid70s in the bay area. 73 degrees at livermore. 74 at concord. 65 over at pacifica. In the extended forecast, we are warming slowly between now and the weekend. If we had those offshore winds all week it would be hotter than this. Its hot enough. Low 80s by saturday and sunday. Next chance of rain is coming in on tuesday. So well cool things off. Its not going to be a big rainmaker but it will be enough to get the ground wet. Its great. Beautiful weekend and we need more rain. Youre not complaining . No. Good. [ laughter ] thank you. They cost drivers millions of dollars. Tonight why one bay area city is slamming the brakes on red light cameras. And how the construction fire exposes how a neighborhood has been booming in the shadows. ,,,, bulldog bulldog [yawn] i just had a dream i was at mattress discounters with tempurpedic and the Largest Selection of memory Foam Mattresses under one roof icomfort, by serta. Optimum, by posturepedic. Ahh comforpedic, by beautyrest. Ooh 48 months interestfree financing, free delivery, and queensize memory Foam Mattress sets as low as 697 thats more mattresses than you can shake a bone at. Mattress discounters save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Ould yep, Everybody Knows that. Well, did you know the ancient pyramids were actually a mistake . Uhoh. Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Car ran the not paying works proper wages. And now ing several citi its a black eye for a red light camera company. Its accused of not paying workers proper wages. And now the state is ordering several cities not to pay the company. But kpix 5 reporter don knapp says thats not why a north bay city just put the brakes on their program. Reporter after five years and nearly threequarters of a Million Dollars, san rafael is ending its experiment with red light cameras. Thats great news. Reporter chris is obviously delighted. I dont think they are really impacting how people are behaving anyway. Reporter thats pretty much what san rafael city leaders are saying. We didnt find that over a period of time that in fact they effectively reduced the violations. Reporter the idea says the san rafael mayor was to reduce accidents but after an initial reduction they leveled off. And those fighting traffic tickets were costing the city money. And then if someone challenged the red light ticket, that officer then does have to go to Traffic Court and in some cases that might be overtime. Reporter the costbenefit ratio was not working to the citys advantage. There are attorneys that are making a living out of defending the violators. Reporter san rafael is only the latest city across the nation to dump its red light cameras. Los angeles quit its program in 2011. 7 states ban the cameras altogether. San francisco has cameras in 25 intersections and no plans to turn them off. The city claims cameras help reduce accidents 40 to 50 . And in 2012 brought in 300,000 more than they cost to operate. But whatever the pluses or minuses, some drivers arent sorry to see them go. Thats all we need, people texting and running red lights. Reporter don knapp, kpix 5. Several bay area communities are ending their red light camera programs including belmont and hayward. Im ken bastida live at mission bay. Coming up, well play back for you the frantic 911 calls as fire crews race to put out this fire and how this big fire will affect this Mission Bay Neighborhood for months to come. What could be the first trace of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet. The years of roadblocks leading up to the transformation. How this aging bay area waterfront is in for a billion dollar facelift. ,,,,, female announcer during sleep trains big gift event get a 200 best buy gift card with purchase of selected mattress sets. Or, get 24months interestfree financing. Female announcer what will you get during the big gift event at sleep train . Your ticket to a better nights sleep your realtime captioner is linda macdonald. Here it goes. As were live now, you can see this beginning to fall. [ yelling ] thats exactly what they were afraid of. Thats what happened at the top of the hour here at 4th and china basin as they were taking down a section of the building. We are live on the air when that happened. And you saw what we saw. This came down and it came down in a controlled way which is exactly what the Construction Engineers and Fire Departments wanted to have happen here to take the perimeter of this which is actually being supported by very flimsy and now scaffolding and not much else behind it because the interior of the building has been completely gutted. You can see other sections beginning to come off tonight, as well. The Fire Department has never left. They are still here. And they are continuing to pump water on this and they have told us within the last few minutes that they will stay here for the next several days to make sure that these hot spots which could be smoldering and going off inside that building for quite a number of days, may be a week or more before anybody can go safely inside whats left of this building to begin to take a look at what may have caused this fire. At one point, we are told that fully half of the citys on duty firefighters were actually battling this fire. Tonight, the dispatch recordings are giving us a better idea of what it was like on the front lines. Take a listen. Four stories fully engulfed. Starting to move farther down the block. Moving units off 4th street. Driver 28 engine, i need more water volume were abandoning this street here. Get all the rigs you can off the street now. Youre not going to stop it with what we got here. Get out move this is command, we have units reporting in from the fifth alarm. Please be advised from a visual over here, the highest point fourth and mission is heavily involved and going to collapse into itself. Driver engine 7, if you can give us more pressure, well take it. We have a collapse in the rear side of the building. Copy . Reporter yeah. Pretty amazing when you listen to those. You really get a sense of the severity of this fire and how fire was getting every available engine and truck on this thing to try to put it down and their response really is what saved this neighborhood. As we look at another piece of equipment that is coming in, this is a little bit different than the articulating arm that was basically banging up against the perimeter. This has a jaw on the end of it so its probably going to go in and start grabbing chunks and pulling those back so they dont fall into the street willynilly. Unless you actually work down and, and a lot of people do at the ucsf complex or work in the area, mission bay is not an area youre familiar with. Its certainly not a Tourist Destination in San Francisco and its not accurate to call it a new neighborhood. Its more like a brandnew city. Right now it isnt much to look at just 300 acres of old warehouses and vacant lots much of it an eyesore. But if a 4 billion Development Deal gets the green light planners say the mission bay project could be key to San Franciscos economic future. Reporter that was 1998. This is now. Its a hollywood movie set. Its totally changed. Its not like the old San Francisco. Reporter it all happened just like that. Overnight. Overnight. Reporter in a city determined to boost its Housing Stock and expand its population, mission bay is a mind bending example of the results. An almost Science Fiction landscape of modern architecture from glass towers to parking lots. Everything is at some phase of the construction process and whats finished looks and even smells brandnew. It does look like it was built like yesterday. Reporter the other thing you cant help but notice is what isnt here. Its a ghost town right now because no ones in it. Reporter while there is some life around the ucsf campus, mission bay feels a lot like a brandnew city thats already been deserted. Gaze down the long blocks of 3rd street and chances are youll see nobody. Reporter the solution to that problem is exactly what burned last night. More than 1,000 units of housing are supposed to be the enzyme that activates this area and a chunk of that was just incinerated. Seems a little quiet down here like a ghost town today. Reporter you know, liz, we talked about the importance of new housing in San Francisco. A lot of the housing that was supposed to go up here in this particular structure was going to be affordable housing. About 30 of it was going for market rate for sure but a lower and more affordable rate for people just starting out. A lot of young people moving into San Francisco right now. Some of them have the means, some dont. But housing as we you will know, we have done this story time and time again, is critical in the city not just in this neighborhood. This is a beautiful place. It really is. It truly is as you walk along and see some of these buildings. There is, you know, going to be another structure built here and its going to be incredible when its done. Its just going to take a few months. Well be back with more updates before the end of the newscast and show you how the deconstruction of whats left of this building continues. Its amazing the work they are doing right now. All right. Thank you. As the fire quickly spread so did images of the inferno on social media. Former kpix 5 staffer shows us how far the fire could be seen around the bay and heres a photo from one of our viewers who posted it on our facebook page. May have caught of the fire. Upload them to our facebookr twitter pages. A chinese satellite might we would like to see any images you have the fire. Upload them to facebook or twitter. A chinese satellite might have spotted the wreckage of a missing Malaysia Airlines plane. These pictures were taken one day after the airplane vanish on its way to beijing. The red arrow points to three objects floating in the water south of vietnam. The pieces are said to be quite large and would be in the area where the plane might have gone down.

Kpix reportern takeo on how the city is heg developers hit the ground running. The oakland waterfront is getting a huge makeover starting tomorrow on a brand new neighborhood. Kpix 5 reporter ryan takeo on how the city is helping developers hit the ground running. Reporter these 1994 views show what the Brooklyn Basin used to be. A bustling industrial strip along the oakland he isture wayry. This has been in industrial use over 100 years. Reporter now the wear and tear is evident but this stretch is about to get a billiondollar facelift. A Development Group will break ground this week. The unique thing about Brooklyn Basin is the park, water views, proximity of downtown. Reporter the area will have 5 highrises with 3100 Housing Units a Shopping Center and parks. The problem is, this process takes a lot of time. The Brooklyn Basin developers started this process 13 years ago. Ever since, its been years of timeconsuming studies in meetings. But its been a Long Time Coming since 2001 is when we started planning this. What does the Public Sector do to help the private sector. Reporter the city is putting together neighborhood meetings for the developers. And filing paperwork for permits. He so they dont have to spend 12, 18, 24 months developing an end entitlement when the markets ready. We want to be ready. Reporter city leaders believe oakland is poised for 7500 Housing Units in the next decade. This map shows 15 projects already on the drawing board. The Brooklyn Basins 3100 units is a good start even if developers are breaking ground a decade later than they would have liked. In oakland, ryan takeo, kpix 5. Its my top favorite. Making it possible for kids to step up to the plate. I want them to be able to say that this was one their most rewarding experiences in the foundation of their future. Why this Little League president is in a league of his own. He is what baseball is all about. Coming up next. Lets hear it for the rangers.

Winning should be secondary to good sportsmanship and teaching things like respect for others. Reporter Sheila Edwards sons learned team work. Big thing is they learn not to put other people down. Reporter parents and volunteers know he demands their respect too. If you are not in Little League for the benefit of the kids, then he will let you know that, you know, you dont need to come back. Reporter he is involved in just about every detail of Little League including cleaning the field. He umpires, mentors. He is what alameda baseball is all about. Reporter under rons leadership Board Members say participation has tripled to 1,000 kids. Go, go reporter and revenue has grown from sponsorships of all 68 teams, ad banners and snack sales. 400 players have received scholarships so no one get turned away because they cant pay the 125 registration fee.

Our master speller Brian Hackney also a master meteorologist with more on the weather, here he is. Well done the last time im sitting in here during the week [ laughter ] we should have warned you. Clear skies right now. Those winds that were such a factor yesterday and it eased up a little bit and they are going to ease in the dry direction from easterly to northwest more typical. Over to sutro, the best looking picture you can get on television is an uncompressed signal from that antenna into your antenna in a hidef set. You will never see a better picture and its free oakland 75. Livermore 73. San francisco 73 right now. San jose 74. And as we look at the goes west satellite, High Pressure is still offshore. With that big pressure difference between the high and the low, the low in southern california, were still seeing those winds kicking up. Offshore winds for the next eight hours or so, they will ease up overnight. And you can see on the futurecast for the winds that in general these go from being around the 10 to 15milean hour range down to not much by sunrise tomorrow and then this is tomorrow afternoon it looks like they will kick up a little bit. They will be from the sea breeze direction and they are more moiso well expect clear skies tonight a breezy evening tonight. Tomorrow nice less wind on thursday good beach day too and highs near 80 degrees this weekend. Heres how it looks for tomorrow. We are about 10 degrees above average in parts of the bay area. That will continue with union city at 72. 75 at morgan hill. 75 for morgan hill. I thought this was easy. [ laughter ] out in the east bay the numbers in the mid70s. 73 pittsburg. 73 brentwood and pleasanton. 73 for livermore.

Sleep train your ticket to a better nights sleep Million Dollars to sign two offensive lineman on the fit day of free agency. Not exy the move that are gonna sell season tickets. The raiders spent over 70 million to sign two offensive linemen in the first day of free agency. Not exactly the move thats going to sell a lot of season tickets. But its the right direction according to former head coach john madden. They have to build a team of. And to build a team you need younger guys, building blocks. You dont need old tired guys that are trying to steal a year or two. The 49ers have resigned eric wright to a oneyear deal. The former archbishop reardon star appeared in 7 games last season one interception but should take on a bigger role with the release of cornerback carlos rogers. [ music ] money money money marcus weir wasnt out of work very long. He signed a threeyear 33 million deal one day after being released by the cowboys, with the broncos. In total denver spent over 100 million to try to improve their defense. What does it mean . With those moves, denvers odds to win the super bowl dropped from 9 1 to 6 1. The 49ers and seahawks are at 9 2 to win super bowl 49 and if you want to make money there are your raiders at 75 1. Wow. The warriors will take the fivegame winning strike to los angeles tonight to face a hotter team. The clippers have won eight street. Jordan crawford led golden state last night with 19 points. And they blew out the mavericks. The latest is a huge turnaround for a bench that was 29th in scoring for the first half of the season but since the all star break the second unit is averaging 39 points a game. Who better to ask how far this team can go than the logo himself, jerry west. Jerry, youve done it all as a player, coach, architect, gm. You know what a championship contender looks like. Have the warriors reached that possibility . First of all, i think we better worry about the season. We have a difficult schedule. We have a lot of teams vying to get into the playoffs. We have a capable team. The one thing i have seen in improvement is the fact we are not turning the ball over, which really hurts our team. Everybody looks at miami as the team to beat. The competition in the west is ridiculous. So we are hopeful we can get into a position where we can play really well and more importantly make a statement in the playoffs. Reporter you mentioned the turnover issue that was one steph curry averaging 4 a game the most in the nba but he looked again turning it over once in phoenix the other night. Has that part of his game improved . I think it has but also i think the addition of steve blake really helped him, takes him off the ball some. Steve does not turn the ball over and its kind of solidified our second unit so we take the pressure off some people that maybe are not quite capable of doing those things yet at this point in their career. One thing golden state has been able to do is they win close games especially on the road in indiana, miami. They figure out how to close out those, you know, close games. How significant is that and have you noticed that . Well, as i say, we were losing them all earlier in the year. I think thats been a big improvement for us here of late. I do think at this time of the year, teams who are trying to make a statement going forward, i think they are much more focused on the task in hand. You dont need a walnut cracker if you know mohammed rashid. He set a new world record by smashing 155 walnuts at a festival in pakistan. As you might expect, this is not exactly a soughtafter world record. The previous held by an american was just 44 walnuts. Thats obviously using your head.
