steve buckhantz with phil chenier. pretty good first half of basketball. l from 3-point range. okay from field goal range, about 40%. only two turnovers. >> phil: i like that. >> steve: the two deficiencies you look at, free throw shooting, missed four of them and the bench not getting ago from the that. neither bench has made a field goal. >> phil: other than brad miller's 7 free throws but the washington has answered the call. but they're on the verge of going another 40-minute great many gaim. >> steve: front line players for washington very productive tonight. >> phil: he's been going after joakim noah, so i think he's up fortunate challenge. caron butler gets this nice jump shot after getting in the paint. he started off slow but i like the way he finished. already, with a double double, 17-10, like i said he started, been logging lots of minutes and they're aunt verge of doing it again -- on the verge of doing it again tonight. the bulls, they have got most of their points from the bench. they have good ball movement there. hinrich, their only 3. hinr

steve buckhantz, ron thompson, our comcast sportsnet crew. the final non- conference game of the year. [ crowd booing ] . >> steve: and that basket will not count. greivis vasquez wanted it, but the official, john gaffney said the foul occurred before greivis took the shot. and he'll go to the line to shoot 1-1. >> ron: i tell you for gary, you have to be pleased with, really, on a night when greivis has struggled, he hasn't scored that much tonight, and he is struggling to get his offensive game going, other guys have stepped up. >> steve: yeah. >> ron: that's what he said he wanted to see in this kind of game. who would be some guys who could step up. >> steve: that is the first point of the game for greivis vasquez in the last two games, he is averaging 23 and a half points, four rebounds and 8 assists. out of bounds. it will be longwood ball. vasquez had a season high 30 in the overtime loss at wake forest. straight game with at least 20 points or more. and he led maryland with 17 points in the win at boston college. he went 17-13 from th

it will happen through energy through the defensive end. >> let's check in with steve buckhantz and phil chenier joining us courtside at phillips arena. that quarter was probably as bad when steve was playing basketball in the ymca back in 1968. that was a struggle. once again when you start bad takes them awhile to get going. >> let me give you an inside bit of of course that was a huge advantage. :i:i:i:i:i:i:i randy foye had 18 points and 8 assists. >> goes back to what we just said. they have got to get more production off their bench. remember the stats we showed you. high scoring starting lineup. randy foye continues his strong shooting. 18 points. shot the ball we develop. eight assists. he seems very comfortable shooting a mid-range shot. i like the play he made in the fourth quarter where he drove in. took jamal crawford. foul. dropped in the two free throws. just not enough. again, you've got to stretch it out. that's what we saw from this atlanta team. they got 7, 8 men deep and they get good production there. >> i think one of the real frustrations for the wizards and especia

steve buck buckhantz phil chenier. we'll be with you tomorrow night when the wizards host the new york knicks as andray blatche picks up a foul. take a look at our statistics presented by your washington area chevy dealers from that 1st quarter. phil: 61% shooting also outrebounding washington by 4. turn over is about equal but not the points off the turnovers. 7 points off those 7 turnovers washington. steve: here's humphreys who was blocked initially but got the ball back and scored and he was fouled by tampa tampa press yo. phil: we talked about in the 7 games his average is 14-7. but in two of those games against the clippers he had 21 in the first one scored a career high 25 in the next one. steve: here's boykins in that la marcus can be left in the 1st quarter with bruised ribs and he was done for the night. but some say the clippers were done when their team bus got stuck in new york traffic. imagine that, and arrived here at the arena just 45 minutes before tip-off. phil: we kind of experienceed that of course

steve buckhantz, phil chenier. our comcast crew. couldn't convert the pass. come back with the rebound. lid on the basket for washington so far on this game. jamal crawford in his 10th year from michigan where he played one season. 25-14 atlanta. another wizards turnover. >> phil: that wasn't a really bad attempt on that play. williams kept his feet moving, playing the front position on jamison and was then able to get into position to field a pass. >> steve: heck of a play. >> steve: here is foye off the screen. still had to take a long difficult shot. jamison rejected. andray blatche chases it down. good hustle by andray. >> phil: and good block. >> steve: spinning. ran into trouble. jamison. jumper. hawks on a 14-1 run here to grab control of this game in the 2nd quarter. wizards have caron butler and brendan haywood back in the lineup. smith and williams. travels. 24-second violation. travel. >> phil: looked like he was getting ready to call the traveling violation as well. shuffled his feet. >> steve: wizards have missed their last nine field goal attemp

phil chenier, steve buck hans hants -- buckhantz, so long from the windy city. line people were accepted there and that was and i think they no longer are attainable and i felt what he wanted to do and it is a shame and away the controversy was subsequently followed about the dossier was intended as it was because in an exercise it had an openness and much more open government trying to share with the public information it's quite sensitive but what she's trying to share with the public so they can be informed about all of the factors coming into his decision making process so the was the thinking behind it. >> was a political context as well in the diary for the third of september you say we went through some of the hard questions on iraq. the hardest was why now? why is it we knew what we knew now and we didn't before? it isn't that made us believe what we have to do now so it's about selling the policy as well, not just helping intelligence. >> it was also at the time, and this is again how things look so differently in the sense of the benefit of hindsight a
