The guy who's been on a mission the last three weeks has been Ben Wallace. They might as well take that Defensive Player of the Year trophy and send it here now. When you look at all the things he's doing for us … he's been phenomenal.

The last three weeks, they might as well take the Defensive Player of the Year trophy and send it for the fourth time, or whatever, because when you look at all the things he's doing, as far as from defensive rebounding, blocking shots, steals, he's doing everything. He has been phenomenal.

They might as well take the Defensive Player of the Year award and send it to Ben. He's been on a mission in the last three weeks, and when you look at all of the things he's doing — rebounding, blocking shots and making steals — he's been phenomenal.

We know what we have in Dale. He's a guy that could step in and be a starter and you would feel good about it … I have a lot of confidence in him, and the players have a lot of confidence in him. He'll step in, and we'll keep rolling.

He's the one guy we've had who has been a little sore in the legs.

The outlook is very good and Ben should be available for selection in three weeks.
