go home. you can have a bad day shoot. >> you have a bad quarter. and then all of a sudden their season is over. now i've been listening to kyle shanahan and the players in that locker room all weekend. they don't seem like a group that lacks any confident, quite the opposite. actually, most of these guys have been here before. most of these guys know exactly what it takes to win in the playoffs and that's bad news for the rest of the nfc. >> if you want to sit and think about all the outside stuff, i'm sure you can psych yourself all out. but that's only thing i would say through experience of it is what you get on the field. there's absolutely nothing different. so whether it's a playoff game weather, super bowl and all you can do is control the athletic sporting event that are involved and don't make it more than that. it's all about just not making the situation better than what it you know, i knew that back when i was young guys from the older, the older guys like richmond. >> you know, staley, all those all those guys and you know that at the end of the day, it's still football. you know, you want to you want to play at your best. but that doesn't mean going outside. what your to do? you know, you just got to make sure that your, you know, really detail in the way that you prepare. and then when you go out there, you play with their hair on fire. >>

staff, of course, this morning i sat down with damian and we discuss what he learned from that title run last year is strong relationships with his ex warrior teammates and more. here's a snippet of our conversation. >> now i saw a picture on instagram or twitter couple for about 6 weeks ago. there really cool. pickett was you jta and why's that at why the g league game obviously got for that

he was already on the way. so it's perfect. timing is great to see those guys want been going at it for the past 3 years like that's my brother. same thing with wise. that's my brother. and we actually have a group chat team that we want to championship it. we were just texting and that light the day before we know is we coming down the plane. but guys in there, in a group chat talking it

have not only season in april, we've got 6 more weeks of memories grow. let's wait. who's that? we fought together to, you know, reach the common goal. >> that was such a fun season. now the whole blowout just a couple miles down the embarcadero. the warriors getting their butts whipped. they lose in 94 to 70's, probably even worse than that at this point. but damion lee has 16 points for the phoenix suns. of course, as soon as that game goes, final, we will have full highlights. let's go to the ice. the sharks in arizona taking on the coyotes, 3rd period. we have a tie score. logan find
