Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 116, Phoenix Suns 127

So even though you guys lost a little bit of of a different feeling from this one than the last few oh of course of course um I just thought on both sides um we just shared the ball man we just shared the ball so good and

Um I tell our guys this all the time like it doesn’t matter what level of basketball you playing it could be little league it could be NBA if you share the ball and everybody’s involved chances are everybody’s going to play a little hard on defense you know um

So it was good I mean we was incredibly underman obviously in the game but I told our guys just just play fast and play fun share the ball and help each other on defense um and just play free and they did that and it was just fun it

Was fun watching them it was fun coaching them um so many guys played well obviously scoot had a career high Chris had career high roofs I mean it was they all shared the basketball what did you like especially about scoot G matter or kind of in detail what do you think I mean

Obviously he shot it great uh from three um I just love his confidence you know um I loved his intention he was aggressive the entire time um was playmaking you he was looking for guys too he wasn’t just looking to shoot um he did a good job um tonight of when he

Didn’t have an advantage just getting off of it you know instead of just over dri just just get off of it um he did a really good job of that tonight um and that’s something that I’m trying to emphasize with him and with Aunt you know if you don’t have something just

Okay that’s cool they did a good job get off of it give somebody else a chance so I thought scoot uh I mean he was obviously he was aggressive all night and he was he was really really good what do you want him to learn from

A night where he was what do you want him to learn from this game I want him to play with the same pop and intensity um no matter if we’re undermanned or got our whole team I want them to just be aggressive you know and be on the attack the entire time and

That doesn’t mean shooting that just means break down the defense and find the right play um and I think so many times when we do get this is not just with scoot this is with all of our guys I mean literally all of them when we do get

Guys back and our team gets semi hole then everybody’s looking around like dang so what should I do now you know um and you should just do the same thing you just play and play unselfishly and and and share the ball and play for your for your buddy next to

You Rion we haven’t got a chance obviously been playing a lot in in the G League hasn’t had a whole lot of manal team but tonight really contributed particularly in the fourth quarter play in the game um kind of what kind of player or how would you him tonight what

Kind of player do you think you might be able to to become to yeah I was so proud of him you know this is another reason why the remix is such a big deal for us you know he gets a chance to go over there and develop play

A lot of game minutes you know um to be able to step into a game in the fourth quarter and make some huge shots you know um I was just really proud of him you know um and I think he’s going to be you know just a going to be a three and

D type of player you know a guy that can make shots but be very disruptive defensively I think on that side of the ball he’s still kind of learning our game and learning you know distances and how talented and how quick and fast our guys are so that’s a big adjustment for

Him but man he’s going to be he’s going to be a really good three and D player for sure I was happy for him tonight and what about Chris that’s the other guy that hasn’t really played a ton for you but has played a lot of the remix and he

Looked pretty comfortable out there tonight what do you think he did he did uh another again you know uh the same with him you know the remix experience has been really good for him and again it allows him to must to Plug and Play him you know uh bring him over

And just plug him in in and Chris is a guy that he just rarely makes mistakes man I just love he he does everything you ask him to do he crashes every time um I love how quickly he’s shooting that ball you know guys are closing out to

Him he’s shooting it uh he knocked it down shot it very well tonight um yeah he he was he was also hit some he made some big big plays for us CH I know that’s lot it’s a personal thing but I saw you and Kevin Durant

Kind of talked a little bit as the game got over was there anything kind of shared there about the team or anything that that you’d be willing to share with us no not really not really that’s that’s that’s that’s just one of my young guys man I I tried to help raise

Him in the league and it’s always we always had that love for for each other you know
