Scott Skiles Ben Quotations

We have a play that we run there where we to try to get Ben on a run around but it didn't develop. Snow (was) pretty much covering it real good there and we couldn't get off of him to get Ben free.

He's bothered us in all areas. His speed has bothered us, he's made his open shots and we've given him too many free throws. He's always been one of the faster point guards. We've had Ben on him, and we've had trouble dealing with that speed.

Our ball movement came to a screeching halt. Ben got hot for us early, and after that our ball movement just kind of stopped.

We played terrible defense (on Monday) and he was talking about touches. I thought that was the incorrect thing to be talking about. I thought Ben was good tonight.

Ben played so well and took the open shots. Sometimes he turns those down and ends up taking a more difficult one.

Ben made shots. He got hot early, missed a couple and got it going again.

Ben is one of the most unique players I've seen. It is uncanny how one moment he is out there and not having a good game, then all of a sudden he just starts throwing in shots.

Ben has had a good year. Not starting isn't a reflection of Ben. When considering a lineup move to get some energy out there, you have to consider how that player will respond. Ben has proven he can come off the bench, score and be very productive.

Ben got the ball, so we went to a high pick-and-roll setup. Mike made a good play.

Ben was in his room at 2. I don't know where that report came from.

Now it's a little bit different. Without Ben making some shots during periods of the game, we wouldn't even have had a chance. All I can say is he is aware of it, and he's trying to work on it.

Anybody that's involved in the league in depth and watches us play knows that we have more things in our offense for Ben probably than any other team in the league has for any other player. It's normally the guys who aren't playing well that are making those kinds of comments. So I don't put much stock in that.

They do a lot of the same things. They're both from the Ben Wallace mold where you can have an effect on a game without having to contribute a lot offensively.

It was one of our best all-around efforts of the season. The guys were really in tune with the game plan. Ben made some big shots, but it was Andres who made the difference in the game.

It was just a great comeback. Their defense was active, but we finally got it going. We started to get some stops and then Ben was just huge.

I guess, yeah, you could say. It would unrealistic to expect Ben to score 30 games a game.
