Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 96, Chicago Bulls 104

CH you think there’s any kind of correlation between trying to actively get more going for da and internally and getting maybe a little offbeat offensively in other places right now just kind of trying to find those rhythms in other places as you’re getting guys healthier again and kind of

Resetting things yeah it kind of happens um to us you know when we start you know getting guys healthy um you have to find ways to you know manufacture offense and get guys the ball you want everybody to start to become cohesive and and uh together and

You know we’ve been really trying to make a real effort to to get the ball to Da you know and he’s been doing a really good job when he’s getting it lately he’s he’s starting to find himself um in what we’re doing um but you know when you do that

You know other things are kind of off a little bit um and it’s just we haven’t played together enough to understand it yet you know so um just try to piece it together you know get that going and I’m really happy to see that you know um and then we you

Know we just we just keep piecing it all back together and hopefully we can just be healthy for long enough to start to find some Synergy in all of it you know um but yeah I don’t you know I just thought you know our turnovers I don’t

Think that’s what you know cost us today I mean I thought our turnovers really cost us um you know we go 6 for 33 from three it’s tough to win a game like that you know but we did a good job of getting on the free throw line but they just

Controlled the paint man they really did they controlled the paint on us what do you think has flipped for da the last couple of games is it just getting back in a rhythm after being out for so long or is something different with how he’s playing um

You know I think antton and Malcolm and Scoot those guys have made a real effort to make sure to get him the ball in that pocket you know or you know he can roll behind the defense throwing it up for him uh we’ve just we we’ve made a real concerned effort

To you know we got to we got to we got to try to get more you know out of Da and uh we’ve been doing that you know I think he’s been great for us um now we got to just make sure we don’t forget about everything else we’ve been doing you

Know John what does ant have to do in a night like tonight where this isn’t the first time we’ve seen it tonight where he’s got very competent Defenders and in Caruso and and AO fighting over top and The Bigs are locking trailing underneath taking away that and backside guys are

Just waiting for that crosscourt pass what does he have to do to take that next step to because there’s nights where you just got to find a way to break it and how does he take that Evolution to find that kind of on knife like this when they’re looking to just ice him

Out yeah you know what I what I I always just think about what I would do you know and what I did and um you know nights like that especially on a night like today where we got in bonus pretty early like I would just you know I try

To encourage Aunt to just continue to stay aggressive trying to draw fouls you know cuz that free throw line is the easiest place in the game to score you know um so I think that’s one area you know Improvement area for ant you know learning how to draw fouls and being in

Those positions and you know that was one time he thought he drew the foul and they didn’t call it and obviously got a tech but you know that’s just a part of his you know this is this is all new for ant you know um it really is and you know

He’s going to have to understand that those going to be the coverages for him and then also just you know know that some Knights is just if they’re they’re going to show you too like just be comfortable getting off of it you know

And then for me I got to do a better job of getting them off of the ball you know and then trying to bring them back to it but we’re getting everything we want with them on the ball getting into the pocket we getting Corner threes we

Getting da in the pocket we getting everything we want so you know sometimes you know you got to just pick your poison on that how do you balance that in a given night like you said you were you were getting looks if you watch the film tomorrow I bet you you’re going to

Go we’re comfortable with the looks that we got so how do you how do you balce that a night when ant is quote unquote struggling from the field but the looks as an overall offense you’re generating what you want I think you got to be for me in

Stad we got to be comfortable with the shots that we’re getting you know um and be happy with that and hopefully you know we make more tomorrow or the next day but if we can generate you know 33 35 threes you know a game even more than

Man I’m I’m happy with that you know we did a pretty good job um and hopefully we just shoot it better

  1. You haven't played enough, dude you've been here 3 years. How many more Billups guys do we bloody need.
    Get the fraud outta out team

  2. That’s 5:16 of my life I will never get back. I didn’t hear one word of substance, other than the word synergy which this team will never have under Billups. They haven’t played enough together? This team could play for 100 years together and with Billups as the coach they would still be an atrocity.
