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

face goes hand shots
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.
great guys main national playing stronger team
He's playing pretty good. He's been playing with the main guys and I think he's a lot stronger and obviously, playing on his national team (Serbia-Montenegro) this summer, he's in great condition.
extremely great guys high johnson playing reasons stepped
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.
difference guard guys playing shape teams
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.
ability energy gives good
He has the ability to make big shots. He gives us good energy and athleticism.
came earlier felt games good knew miss ricky rip saw shooting trailing
He had a good look when he came off, and I saw Ricky (Davis) was trailing him. I knew he was going to get a good look, and earlier we were doing our shooting games and Rip said, 'I never miss from the corner.' So when he got it down there, I felt pretty good.
finally tired until
He finally got tired at the end. I told him that, the way he was rolling, we were going to him until he couldn't move.
business good playing
We can feel good about winning, get over it and get back to business tomorrow. I think the big thing with us, we're not playing Milwaukee, we're playing ourselves.
area ball bit couple improvement involved less move pass people quick reasons runs shots though took won
We took, I thought, too many quick shots. We took 50 shots with one pass or less out of 75 shots, which for us is way too many. And that's one of the reasons we only had 17 assists. Even though we won by 18, they made a couple of runs at us, and I think we have a big area of improvement to get more people involved offensively and move the ball a little bit more.
