Mike Woodson Player Quotations

I am extremely excited to add a player of Joe's background to our team, ... He is a great young talent. Atlanta will soon learn how important it was to finalize this deal.

I think Joe's worth every bit of being a max player in this league. He's proven that with his play. But just like he was in Phoenix, he's a piece to the puzzle here. Joe Johnson is a big part of that puzzle. He has to be a big focal point.

It's tough when your best player can't hit shots. And then we tanked in the third quarter.

He's starting to figure it out. It's nice to see. His shot looks like a shot right now, and he's making it. He's handling the ball, making plays and he's trying to defend. It's all a part of growing up and being a better player in this league.

The bottom line is that he (O'Neal) just changes the game. He's the most dominating player in this league. He is one of the most dominant players that has ever played our game.
