Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 122, Detroit Pistons 128

You guys were up 23 when the H went outs outome those how devastating was that for you guys um I mean it was tough it was tough with I I really to be honest I just felt bad for for Ashton you know to be in that

Position you know you just come on the team 10day and uh we just need some organization you know to be able to get in the play it was just kind of tough it was kind of tough I thought he played well but it’s tough for anybody to come

In on the first day on the job and had that type of responsibility you know um but we just you know we tried to you know we tried to just hash it and put it together running simple things and um you know try to hop on Jeremy’s back and

Let him take us the whole way and it it was just tough I mean they started to double Jeremy on the kickouts and we just couldn’t make it was just made it really uh really difficult what do you think of your last possession of Regulation so I’m sorry

Said how did the last Obsession regulation go obviously you were talking about trying to get it to jery he had it and up turn it all over kind of yeah I mean he had it U we know today with fire um we wanted to get off of it until the

Time when we wanted to go get it back to him and Jeremy just kind of go quick um we did that they did they came and fired the last time and he had no Outlet you know the kid made a great play on the ball you know got a deflection on it

But you know we just did a poor job of leing Jeremy kind of out there you know on that possession so even if he would have picked the ball up you know we would running with our backs toward toward him it was just you know it was

Tough but again you know there there’s just a lot of people in that game at that part that they’re usually not in that game um but it’s good experience for those guys and it’s good you know teachable things that we really can all kind of

Learn from it John see in a game like that where you’ve got so many guys out and then ant goes out and you got new guys in what kind of goes into adjusting the lineup deciding whether or not to go with a guy like baji down the stretch or to put a guy

Like Ryan you didn’t play in the first half like kind how do you kind of try to balance that when there’s so many new guys that you’re trying to put in there yeah it’s a tough balance um you know even you know down to I thought Chris played

Pretty good but you know I kind of went with te you know for the experience Factor down the stretch instead of Chris um knowing that I already had two and I already had Barry you know and I already had Ashton as had so many youngans in

There um so it’s kind of like just a judgment call just a field thing at the time but you know um I thought Ebu was okay you know but a lot of times they went Zone with Ebu and he was even a little confused as to what we was kind

Of looking for you know so um that that’s that’s the beautiful thing about situations like this is now when I take that tape to these guys and I’m always telling them you got to be prepared you never know when it’s going to be your moment you got to be prepared

To know what we’re doing at all times um these are times that you can teach now you know um because it it comes up pretty quick and now you out there kind of scrambling and makes it tough so for me as the coach you know I

Want to I’m always going to like in those positions go with what I feel is best and who I feel is giving me the best chance at the time um so that’s what that’s what we did

  1. Shut your mouth, your mix and match in the game was so poor. You talk young players development but do the opposite. You sit Baji allowed Duren to dominate, you sit Murray and Rupert allowed the others play. You let a G league player played almost the entire second half. You are a piece of s.hit.

  2. Big smile on Chauncey’s face after being obliterated. Hugging Monte and slapping five with everyone after being pole pounded at home. WTF is this???
    What an embarrassment – who is steering this derelict ship 🚒? No moves at the deadline, no sense of urgency at all. Get Cronin and Chauncey the hell out of here!!!
    Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!πŸ”₯

  3. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Detroit basketball don’t forget the first time we played y’all we was up 19 points that game

  4. Pistons had way more guys out on the road and flew out two g league guys with only 8 players available

  5. The thing about Chauncey is if you look at what he's saying from purely a basketball prospective he makes sense. What he can't say is that he doesn't have enough talent.
