aggressive defense five game gets gotten improved last pressure seconds shoot shots watching
He's gotten really aggressive and he's making big shots. Watching them play a lot, he gets a lot of shots in the last five seconds of games. He will put pressure on your defense because he can shoot the three, but he's also improved his game getting to the basket.
hits next
He's going to get enough punishment, hits and bruises next game.
bench weight
He's going to be bench pressing a lot of weight come Wednesday.
ankle sit today
He's better today than he was Tuesday, and you don't want to sit him out and have the ankle get weaker.
He's better than I thought he would be. And I thought he'd be pretty good.

He's been like that the last few games. I like when he's a bit more aggressive. A part of it is he tries to conserve energy when he thinks he has to and gets other guys going.

He's been good. He's a wide-bodied guy. He's undersized, but he plays bigger than he is.

He was incredible. We had a hand in his face all night, and he goes 5-for-5 on threes in the first half. Some of those shots were unbelievable.

He's playing great right now. I said one of the reasons they're playing so well right now is because of the play of Johnson and the play of (Danny) Granger. Those two guys have stepped up and they're playing at an extremely high level.

He's playing and getting in shape and he makes a difference in games. Guys on opposing teams typically don't want Lindsey to guard them.
