defensive intensity
Our defensive intensity wasn't there. We slacked a little bit.
came defensive good guys help reminded takes
Young guys need to be reminded of what it takes to be a good defensive player. I just try to help out and tell guys what other guys told me when I came in the league.
adjusted defensive fine good great last nba player playing slide style year
I think when I got Defensive Player of the Year I was playing great defense. Last year when they implemented those new rules, I was still playing very good defense. I just have to get adjusted to the NBA style of play. It will be fine because I can still slide my feet.
ben defensive gave player steal three trouble wallace year
I feel like Ben Wallace stole it. Well, he didn't steal it, but I feel like I gave him three defensive player of the years. I gave him one that year I got in trouble ... that year I was suspended.
miss missed thousand
I've said it a thousand times. Referees miss calls. They missed that one, too.
gotten involved nine
I should have gotten myself more involved in the first nine minutes. I had to have gotten myself more involved in the first quarter.
ball body came
Ostertag came at me with his body. He really came and went for the body first and the ball second.
crowd fed love
Sac is different. I love Indiana, but it's different out here. The crowd is unbelievable. When I was in Indy, the crowd fed off me. Here, sometimes I wasn't even in the game, and they were going crazy.
sorted trade
There's no trade right now, but they (the Pacers) said they were going to try to get something sorted out to get the trade done.
lost move opposed playing team won
I was more disappointed that we lost as a team as opposed to playing poorly. We just have to move on and get better. The big thing is we should have won this game.
everybody felt front gave good people
It felt good to play in front of people again. They gave everybody good receptions, so I was happy.
became college feels good high school
It feels like high school again. I had a really good team, and I was a much better leader. When I got in college and the NBA, I became selfish. Now, I'm back to my high school days.
argue brothers girls love sisters
It doesn't matter. We're family. Family's got to argue sometimes. At the end of the day, brothers still love brothers. Sisters still love sisters. But there's no girls on the team.
good indiana memories
I think I did a lot of good things in Indiana also that's probably been overshadowed. I think those will be in my memories more than the other stuff.
