Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 108, Denver Nuggets 120

Coach you had to be so pleased with the effort from your guys tonight from beginning to maybe a bit of a slow start but didn’t let him affect that yeah we got to a tough uh tough start you know they jumped on us um but man we we

Showed some resolve you know I was happy we got back in the game our bench came in and gave us everything we needed um and then you know starters came back in and we played a little better you know um but I was I was happy with our effort I thought we played

Really well um and we pushed them to to to play a good game to beat us scoot was feisty tonight scoot was awesome he was awesome um he was decisive the whole time he was attacking he was aggressive um and they couldn’t they they didn’t he put a lot of pressure on

The defense they had they had a hard time controlling him made some shots but you know I just I just loved his attack I loved his he was just he was he was fast and he’s Furious out there today with scoot I mean you talked about last came him kind of earning more

Minutes I mean you know obviously tonight earned a little bit more I mean how much do you like to see that from you know him now earning it I think it seems like a lot of times these top picks the expectations just get a lot of

Minutes now how do like him just kind of earning it more well that’s what I’m about you know um you know schools been playing great and I’m I’m always you know you you you kind of eat what you kill you know and you got to earn it you

Know and he’s doing just that um he’s putting backtack games together you know and obviously you see he play 37 minutes today you know and you play that good you you you earn the right to play more you know that’s just kind of how this game goes it’s how life goes you

Know you earn everything and I just been so proud of him man you know um he’s getting better every night second quarter too I mean he was working with Malcolm too I mean what you like from those two you know that second cor they really kind of carried it I always like

To have two guys on the floor at all times that can attack and that can playmake you know so whether it’s scoot Malcolm whether it’s scoot ant it’s malol and you know um it’s always good to have a guy on both sides of the floor

Um strong side and weak side that if it gets to him he can actually attack and go make a play for somebody whether it’s him or somebody else and I thought they all you know just kind of played well together at one point tonight during the game scoot held the record for most

Consecutive made free throws at 38 Steph Curry at number second or number two uh obviously missed one 11 of 12 but how much of a skill is it to get to the line to get fouled especially as a rookie yeah it is um and he does it when he

Just attacks you know uh he’s so explosive and I’m always telling him you get people guarding you they’re going to be on their heels you know there’s no way they’re going to be able to guess right and beat you there just keep the pressure on them and uh you know he’s so

Coachable that he just does it you know um and that’s the consequence of it you know you get to that that free throw line time and time again see that ball go through the basket gives you confidence slows the other team down you know I thought he just played an

Incredible game is that something that Pooh said to you when when he first got sco that how coachable he is yeah yeah yeah I mean you know when you do your Intel on these kids you find out everything I mean everything so I already knew um how coachable he was and

You know for me that’s just it’s beautiful you know to get a kid like that who’s so competitive and so skilled so talented but that will also listen too um it’s a beautiful thing being in sorry being in this one and obviously you played Denver again in two nights is

That kind of a gift to be able to see them so closely again well yeah yeah I mean it’s it’s awesome to be able to just get another shot at him you know um and our goal is to go out and play as hard as we can and try to try to do

Whatever we can do to try to win the game like we did tonight we gave ourselves a chance um that’s that’s a really really good team um got a lot of shot makers obviously Joker had a one of his type of games um tonight and we just

Couldn’t sustain how tough is it to to beat them when he’s having that kind of night where he’s beating you know points rebounds and assists yeah it’s really tough to beat them when he’s having that type of night you really have to be you have to really have it going offensively

You know you got to have a lot of shots be going in to be able to beat them on a night like that when he’s you putting a masterpiece performance on you got to be able to go shot for shot you know and then and then you try to

Get three stops at a time here and there you know to make a run that’s really the the best way that you can do it when he’s playing that way
