Ben Wallace Type Quotations

When we come out with that type of focus and that type of energy, it's tough for teams to beat us. When we play the way we played tonight, we make it look like that. We make the game look easy.

When we come out and play the way we did tonight, we always make it easy on ourselves regardless of who we're playing. If we play with this type of energy and effort, we usually make it easy for ourselves and that's what we have to get back to doing.

When a team is short-handed, you can't allow them to hang around and feed off their emotions. Knowing that they got guys out, guys want to come out and play a little extra hard, try to pick it up. You can't afford to let those type teams hang around too long.

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.

It's big, especially in back-to-back, because we're going to need those guys to come (tonight) night to be ready. I think (Wednesday) was a little tune-up for them out there. Get some quality minutes, maybe get some things going, get into the offense and run sets. We're going to need that same type of energy (tonight).
