Anthony Johnson Game Quotations

I don't think anybody in this locker room expected to be one game under .500 at this point. I don't think anybody expected to be one game under any time this season. We can talk about it, but now it's time to just show up and play ball.

I feel my offensive game is coming around, and I'm trying to be more productive.

We know now we can't take any team for granted. The energy level wasn't where it needed to be against those teams earlier. They would come out and play hard, and we had a tendency of putting ourselves in a hole and found out we couldn't just turn it on. . . . Due to the fact that we're short-handed, it's definitely going to take a full game for us to come out with victories.

We haven't had much success against losing ball clubs, and being on a five-game losing streak, it feels good to finally get a game in the win column.

It was a great win for us. That's the type of game that had been going against us this year.

The first three spots are pretty much out of your hands. It's pretty much keep your eyes out on four through eight and you just have to take care of your own business. Right now, it's still a ways away and we just have to take it one game a time.

It means a lot. This gives us a lot of confidence. If you lose the first game it's like you are fighting from behind the whole series. We wanted to get a leg up on them, put the pressure of being behind on those guys.

This is what you think about as a kid in the backyard, hitting big shots to win big games. We're a resilient bunch. We played a hard fought game and got a much needed victory.
