This is the best Lindsey has looked, with his energy and his pressure on the ball and getting the ball to the right guys at the right time. I thought he really looked great (Saturday). This is the first time of him not being sick, not being hurt or anything else.

averaged bigger everybody five guard guy points says
Everybody says we don't have no superstars. No, we've got five superstars. If we wanted to have a guy averaged 30 points a game, we could do that. But we want bigger things. We want a championship and we know one guy can't guard five.
