Ben Wallace Playing Quotations

When we got out there and are active on the defensive end that allows us to get easy baskets on the offensive end. Taking care of the basketball and getting set defense, that's when we're playing Pistons basketball.

I enjoy being here. I enjoy these guys that I'm playing with. I owe everything to these guys here not talking about this, not making a big buzz about me being a free agent. We just go out there every night, and (I) do whatever I can do to help this team win.

Right now, that's what we're playing for. We're not worried about who they put in front of us or who we've got to play this week or next week. We're just trying to win every game we possibly can.

Nah. Our goal is still the same, regardless of where we're playing or who we're playing against. It's still the same.

We haven't been playing well. Even the last couple of games we won didn't really feel like wins. We've got to go out there and play a little bit harder.

Same way we've been doing it all season ? just going out and playing with a lot of energy, knowing that it really doesn't matter who we're playing against. We're just trying to go out and win every game, just to put ourselves in a better situation than we were in last year.

Our defense got lost in the shuffle. When that happens, that's when we get away from playing the way we're capable of playing. We have to be more aggressive on the defensive end.

That's how we've been playing all year. We're not going to panic regardless of what the situation is. We're just going to go out there, execute, continue to try and get stops. We know if we get stops, we're capable of scoring the ball.

Everybody's playing together, everybody's playing in sync. That's all we can ask for right now.

It's contagious. Everybody else seemed to pick that energy up and start pressuring them. I like playing like that. It makes the game fun for me, and I think it's the best way for us to get a win.

He's not out there trying to take the team on his shoulders by himself. He's playing good team ball.
