ben bothered dealing faster free given open point shots speed trouble
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.
bench concerned couple games putting since
He has been very good. We were a little concerned putting him back on the bench. The first couple of games off the bench he did not play very well and we were concerned. Since then, he has been fantastic.
aware ben bit periods shots trying work
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.
ben both contribute effect game mold wallace
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.
ben defense finally great stops
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.
ben expect games score
I guess, yeah, you could say. It would unrealistic to expect Ben to score 30 games a game.
ben best difference efforts game guys tune
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.
anybody ben depth guys involved kinds knows league normally offense playing stock team watches
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.
ben difficult ends open played taking took turns
Ben played so well and took the open shots. Sometimes he turns those down and ends up taking a more difficult one.
ben couple hot missed
Ben made shots. He got hot early, missed a couple and got it going again.
ben good moment players starts sudden throwing unique
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 consider energy good move player proven reflection score starting
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 good high mike
Ben got the ball, so we went to a high pick-and-roll setup. Mike made a good play.
ben came report room
Ben was in his room at 2. I don't know where that report came from.
