look to me like brendan pushed off but brendan is going to the line for a couple free throws. >> steve: we will take another look at it hayewood makes the free throw. >> phil: you can see the right arm, right hand as horford goes down. >> steve: talk about a guy that has been all over. west came over and blocked that shot. haywood gets both free throws. >> phil: when you're hungry you can do a lot of things. >> steve: that's right. he is fighting for a job. will have some decisions to make after this year. they really would like to improve on the season even though they had a terrific year winning 47 games their first winning season in a decade but joe johnson will be a free agent. he turned down a $60 million offer this past summer. so we will see what's on his mind. >> phil: earlier this season when we first came here for the second game, i read system of the local papers to say that he wasn't really all that happy. didn't know what direction the team was going. of course he didn't realize that the team would have the kind of success they have had so far through the first 30, 40 game

brendan sherrer. he came in about this mark in the stanford game. a rebound but did not score. >> marques: got to be greedy. get a shot up. his teammates have to help him out and look for him. he's got to make himself available because he's going to bury himself under the basket against max zhang, and it's not going to happen for him. he's just trying to be the team guy. he's not thinking about shooting. >> steve: trying to get it to him. scott suggs doing the job. knezevic ahead. and fouls him. and nikola will try and answer with a three-point play. you've got a game like this, you have a chance to tell your grandkids that i scored on a guy 7'3" from china. >> marques: if that happens, you can tell that story. but he's got to take the shot. or you can tell him this 7'3" guy from china, max zhang, he blocked like three of my shots. i had a ball. i had a good time, though. >> steve: if you heard our thursday game, we told you about brendan. he made the team in open tryout ins october that lorenzo romar always has. they got it to sherrer. he took the

( mumbling ) how high is the cliff? do you love the taste of your beer this much? well, you could. try the great pilsner taste of a triple hops brewed miller lite. taste greatness. if me and buster were hanging off a cliff... what is she talking about? i know. >> joe: capitals in the lead about to go to the penalty kill. not often you come to washington to warm up. but that's the story for george mcphee returning from saskatoon where it was 27 below to plu

foul called on brendan haywood. jamison holds his arms apart as if to say couldn't have been me. >> phil: brendan haywood came out with the same attitude. you are not going to win with that one. tony brown making the call. williams making a very aggressive move to the basket to make sure he got some contact. >> steve: hawks ranked 16th in the league in free throw shooting. >> phil: williams shooting his best in his career from three- point range. he is another one of the listed players with this atlanta team that is knocking down threes. >> steve: hawks by four. could have had a huge lead had they made some shots. of course the wizards could be in the lead as well. jamison loses it. has it stolen by joe johnson. jamal crawford is in the lineup. that goes off the rim. atlanta gets the offensive board. here is crawford. challenges. nice pass. fouled by butler. first personal on caron and that's going to send jamal crawford to the free-throw line to shoot a pair. correction - throw line. >> phil: nice pass from crawfor

. >> hi, my name is brendan o'connor and i work in the overseas building prayings bureau and i have great respect how you're leading the state department whether it's more recent stuff like the work in haiti or internet freedom, speaking out on behalf of that. i appreciate the town hall. my question is on travel which i think can feel like very small until comparison to the big things ouven your plate but seems pretty integral to the work of the state department. so 17 travelers travel processors managers, and i, who also process travel, signed our name to two post that is went up on the sounding board at the end of november and we formed the post collaboratively withor authors deliberately making our suggestions constructive but haven't had an official response yet, so we asked among other things, surveys, working groups, etc to reevaluate a travel system that seems to have really infuriated and demoralezed travelers because of some weaknesses and inefficiencies in the travel business and included recommend daigle frs e 2 and carlton and so my question on all this actually stems in part

one bump for brendan morrison.kine is blocked. >> craig: with fleischmann moving to the center, that means brooks laich goes back to his more comfortable position. >> new year good hustle washing off the icing by the defender, marc-andre bergeron. he can really shoot it. open ice hit. we hear a whistle and we need to go back to washington's first good scoring opportunity. >> craig: there's the long range shot. doesn't pick it cleanly enough. that allowed carey price to get back in position. semin felt he couldn't put that in the small area he had to shoot against price who has been quick of late especially post to post. >> joe: boyd gordon and sloan not given a sweater tonight. andrei out. ryan o'bryne did not make the trip. 20 players to play tonight. >> craig: neurith to the post. that goes arye. first time the capitals have seen. >> craig: the canadiens are a lot different team. brian a going concern. passed across the head of you don't want that to happen in the 1st period. >> joe: montreal wins the draw. paul

antawn jamison and brendan haywood will start at the center position. flip talked about a total mindset change. they have gone through the last two days working on the defensive end. the san antonio spurs is a staple of that. what they allow and what teams are scoring. it's impressive on the defensive end. some of the numbers, 11th in the nba and giving up field goal percentage at 45%. the wizards are at 10th. they do a pretty good job there. but the totality of the spurs' defense, opponents 37 which ranked number one in the nba. the wizards are 25th in that department. michael, that's the story here at the verizon center. there is a lot of roll and national media here as and you can expect for those distraction. >> if both parties end up being found guilty and you are reporting no guns, what would the league ramifications if this did take place. >> reporter: gilbert arenas did have guns. he has confirmed that. that is where the problem really lice. all the other information that that's being leaked out now, no one can confirm that because the people in

but brendan haywood tying his career-high, foye having a great night. we've seen some exciting play and guys with some new highs. >> steve: game that be tied 29 different times. chicago 11 games hiengd cleveland coming -- behind cleveland coming into this game tonight with second place in the central division. they've won three in a row, seven of their last ten, they're getting ready to go out and play seven games on the road while the wizards will come back and play a stretch at home beginning tomorrow night against sacramento. standing ovation for the bulls. 3-second difference between game and shot clock. derrick rose with a career high 35. spins, shoots and scores. >> phil: so nefs a straight 1- 4 offense, everybody pretty much had to stay home. foye was going on one un -- one on one. one-hand push shot from derrick rose and he gives his team a 2- point lead. here's the play again. forced him to turn around. you can see that's a tough shot. where i hit this clutch shot. and chicago hangs on to win it 121-119. despite 34 from jamison, 27 from butler

brendan morrison working with eric fehr and jason chimera. michal neuvirth has this one gobbled up. >> there's a look at the 800th gang. morrison would have played more if he would not have been injured for several stunts. you look at his numbers over five hundred points and always on the plus side of the ledger, very dill la jen playing at both ends of the ice. joe: just in the last few years he has incurred some injuries. he was one of those very lengthy iron men. something in the way of mark stan alee. smith wipes out by the goal. tees it up and scores. alex semin finds the corner. >> that is the score that the capitals needs. it started out with smith behind the cage. i don't think he got to be settled in the paint and the capitals go back to back and semin, left to right and smith getting back to the net and he is not set in gr woboth sh and stopper on csn. >> new jersey about an hour-and-a-half delay before the nhl canceled it with 912 left in the 2nd period and they picked up the game on sunday and played the remaining 29 minutes and 1

host: wilmington, north carolina, brendan, on our line for independents.think everybody is missing one big point on the whole environmental issue. regardless of whether it is manmade or what is going on, something is going on. glaciers are melting, water levels are rising, and we are running out of fresh water. that needs to be an immediate concern in the environmental debate. guest: i think the issue of water shortages is something that needs to come up in the debate. the department of interior is looking at this. it is a real issue, particularly for americans living out west. it is something that, for example, california governor arnold schwarzenegger has made one of his top priorities. there is no question that this is a real and urgent issue, in this and many other countries. for example, in india, where a lot of their water comes from the himalayas and various have got no rain. host: with health care, which saw the target date for getting something to the president's best has moved us to the president's desk has moved -- has moved to the president's d

brendan morrison morrison waits by jason chimera and he just missed the mark. in full strength approaching the nine minute mark. 1-0 for tampa bay. kicks it to jeff halpern. out there with vince lecavalier for the moment. eric fehr was in early. >> good opportunity for jason chimera. nicely set up by morrison on the transition. the tampa bay lightning coughed it up in the crease. 1-0 tampa bay. joe: capitals have catching up to do. it is 1-0 tampa bay with the nhl on comcast sports net. verizon wireless says to make the call. brooks laich goes to the net. he can't run over the goalie. he didn't bring the puck along. 420-pound collision. mike smith just getting up. getting to his sense. remember last year he had all of the concussion problems and missed a big chunk last year and the tampa bay lightning hoping he will fine after that collision. this guy is 6'4", 220 and brooks, 6'4", 200 and big collision in the paint. joe: referee mark shanet giving approximate a leash as he remains with him in the crease. adjusting the gloves as he stays put and his teammates g

. >> hi, my name is brendan o'connor.k in the opposite facility management in the overseas building operations bureau. i have a great deal of respect for how you're leading the state department, whether it's more recent stuff like to work in haiti or internet freedom, speaking out on behalf of that. and i appreciate the town hall. my question is on travel, which i think can feel like a very small in comparison to a lot of the big things you have on your plate, but seems pretty integral to just the work of the state department. so, 17 travelers, travel processors, managers and i who also process travel finder name to to post to open up in a sounding board at the end of november. we formed the post collaboratively with action more authors than any other sounding board ideas, deliberately making our suggestion can start dead, but haven't had an official response yet. so he asked among other things for surveys, working groups, et cetera, to reevaluate the trouble system that seems to really infuriated and demoralized travels

another thing i would say is john brendan, is famous, when he was white house terrorism advisors hased by an assassin who used p.t.n. one of the explosives used in this device hidden on the body. this information was not shared, he says, with the f.a.a. and with t.s.a. because this wasn't an assassination attempt in a building. it seems to me we have much of the failure of imagination that predated the 9/11 plot. just again to sum this up. this was a preventable failure. if we don't take it to be a preventable failure and learn from it, it seems to me we'll have a failure in the future that's not potentially catastrophic but catastrophic in fact. >> i think it's a close call. is it 20/20 hindsight? >> i also agree with you, but the problem i think is is that wasn't the promise that was made. the promise that was made after 9/11 is you give up your rights to your electronic records through the patriot act. your right to privacy, and we will protect you. through the foreign intelligence surveillance amendment, you give up privacy rights to your international communications that's the w

how about you, brendan?hard to believe that it's been almost 50 years since president kennedy took the oath of office. i remember watching his inauguration. i was 14 years old. we lived in a farm in central illinois. tommy will be glad. my parents were republicans, so they weren't too excited. but for me and for many of you was a transformative moment. ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. phrase still stirs my mind. but so do the less famous words that preceded it when our new president challenged us to explore the stars, concur the deserts, tap the ocean depth and heed the command of isiah, to undo the heavy burdens and let the oppressed go free. i think of the president's words and know why i entered public service. when i think back on that cold january depay and when i look at my grandchildren, i get to see jenny's little boy all the time, i know that president kennedy's imperatives must come full circle. in my own way, my own small way, i've tried to make a dif

that i agree brendan did not answer well. we have to figure out why young people are perverting the same of islam and use it to carry out terrorist attacks against the united states. it was a chemoable effort to talk to the muslim world and disabuse some of the notion that because the vast majority of americans are not muslim and do not adhere to the form of islam that we are necessarily ipso facto enemies of islam. it's a multifaceted strategy. we do ourself peril if we underemphasis or overemphasis any of those. the des of war, really use of military and the war theme. what do you have to add? >> the words and concepts does more to confuse than to explain. i absolutely agree with clark in terms of the main driving mechanism here. it's a matter of responding to criticize. that's quite obviously and what the president was saying last week. by what neither the obama administration nor it's critics have been specific about, and i've really like either of both of them to be specific is okay we're going to call something a war or

brendan hit nail on the head. anytime you're struggling for at the perimeter, you attack the basket, try to put your defense in a good situation where they're on their heels. you put yourself in a situation where you can try to get to the free-throw line. the wizards especially as of late have been struggling mightily to make shots. the counter to that is try to get to the basket and get lay- ups. >> you might notice flip saunders has been calling a lot of time-outs early in the game. according to ali us we didn't know he called a lot of these in the month of january. >> he's called 14 time-outs in the first 4:00 the gave -- of the game. nine have come in the month of january. what's that saying is you're not listening to the game plan. they're take too many jump shots. he's trying to prevent the game from getting out of hand. >> break it down. keys to victory. account wizards get it done and now is. >> for it to happen, they'll have to get out to a good start because the lakers are too talented and too explosive.
