140 Quotes by Ben Wallace

I don't know -- that's why we play the games, ... We've got a new coach, new system, got a couple new guys, so regardless of how good you are as individuals, it's going to take a team effort.

I've had a little taste of success. But I think the reason I'm where I'm at, the reason I do the things I do, is because I'm always hungry for more. I feel like every night when I step out on that floor, that I can do a little bit more. I think I can do a little something extra. That's what I'm hoping for.

I don't think we played with the heart and desire that we usually play with. We didn't come out and impose our will on this team. This league is strange like that, you look to come out and win every game but things happen. Some nights it doesn't go for you and tonight was one of those nights.

It was one of those nights where I wanted to test everything. Some nights you get lucky. Tonight, was one of those nights. I was able to get good looks.

What we focus on every night is going out there and making this thing work and finding ways to win games.

They were aggressive. They wanted it more than we wanted it. We've got to a better job on penetration. On pick-and-rolls, when they play a lineup like that, we can't allow them to break down the defense and get offensive rebounds.

Guys came out tonight and played with a lot of energy, just went out there and played basketball. Moved the ball from side to side and forced the defense to make a couple mistakes and made them second-guess.
