Ben Wallace Playoffs Quotations

We'll use the home-court advantage if we have to. But I think the teams that are going to be successful in these playoffs are going to be the teams that go on the road and win.

We've been chased for a long time. We know what kind of beast these playoffs are. We will be prepared for everything and we will go into every single game ready to fight for our lives.

We've been chased for a long time, so it doesn't change for us. We've still got to come out and do what we do. We've been here before, we know what type of situations we've been in and we know what type of beast the playoffs bring. You've got to be prepared for everything.

We just wanted to give ourselves every opportunity to win games. Guys came out ready to play with a lot of energy but the playoffs is a whole different beast. This game won't mean anything for that. Everybody knows teams step up their game once the playoffs start.

Every time we play Miami, regardless if it's in the playoffs or a regular-season game or pre-season game, the tension, the excitement, everything is there.

Team basketball is a lost art nowadays, but it's always going to win. You can win in the regular season, but if you don't play together as a team it's going to be tough to win in the playoffs teams. And I think now teams are starting to recognize that.

This game doesn't mean a whole lot. The playoffs are a whole different game. I know that's a broken record but that's what it is.
