i asked flip saunders, how does the team try to move forward? >> no question it will be different. i said to him he's been one of the most professional players i have ever been around. sometimes players can also use it as a crutch. go talk to antawn because he's the mature guy. now what has to happen, all the other players have to ma sure. >> i will miss him a lot. he's a very positive person. he show med the way. he tried to help me get into my routines and things like that. it's going to be different. i have to step up, you know, do all the things he taught me and help out my teammates. >> we just came together before the game and i said to them guys, you have to go out there and play as hard as you can. we played hard and we know what happened. you see we won tonight. >> it's like extreme makeover team edition. you know, but it is what it is. we are going to be professional about it. i don't think anything is finalize. if it goes through, we will definitely miss the guys who are leaving. we didn't get to see drew long but antawn is a big part of the organization and a part of th

only had 13 assists, not exactly a beacon to the concept of team basketball; and you can tell flip saunderstting tired of the same old act. >> and i think tonight -- we had guys -- you know, nicknames with shots, but those guys were shooting every time they touched it. what happened is our whole team got like that. when you start -- when guys are taking quick shots, then what happens is it fuels other guys to take quick shots, because they don't think they're going to get it back. so i thought tonight, more than anything else, we played selfishly as a team. >> the truth is it was a tight game through three quarters with the wizards down heading into the 4th. but from there they were out scored by 15 points in the final frame, and that is nothing new to the squad. >> the one thing you have to understand is, when you're not a very good team, which right now we're not, is that it's like you can hang around, hang around; but in the fourth quarter, everyone always says games are determined a lot in the fourth quarter. and until we start making stands; and when we fell behind and fired back, we h

saunders has been saying he's too passive from the 3-point line. they definitely want him to be more aggressive and stop passing up the open shots. >>what was really key was they went up by 17. the knicks made a little run, but the wizards were like these are the knicks, let's step on these guys. >>and that's about progress. they've been faltering. they got a big lead, the knicks made a run, they with stood the run with the push they made and grabbed the victory. >>the boston celtics are in town. we'll talk about the c's more in just a few minutes. first the keys of victory. >>tonight i think you'll have to stand in front of ray john rondo. he got selected for the all-star game. he breaks you down with penetration and then steps up and shoots. you have toive awareness. rondo, allen, pierce, garnett, they're all capable of girlfriending you 20 points or more. consistent defense will be necessary. then lastly i think there's going to have to be the energy. they have to bring the energy. right now the celtics are physically and emotionally taxed after

saunders. >> thank you mr. chairman. in thank you dr. orszag. i think we agree president obama inherited a very challenging situation and doug elmendorf at the cbo last week testified without the extraordinary impact of the recovery package. and we could imply that a different place without the very bold effort to stop the draft law. but we also know that unemployment or employment is a lagging indicator and i happen to represent some communities that have been very, very hard hit. one community has 18% unemployment and another one hovers around 12% kind of goes up or down a little bit but basically remained unchanged. so i applaud the effort that the president has purposing side of union address and that we see in the budget here today. but i'm wondering do your benchmarks and plays quickly went to be able to assess whether or not these initiatives are working? i've had a proposal out there that we need to do some direct creation that the federal government needs to get engaged around direct job creation, particularly targeted to communities th
