Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 107, Memphis Grizzlies 100

Got to overtime got it done take me through this evening and how proud you are with these guys yeah I mean super proud of them you know um man I I I just knew uh just coming into the game that it was we was going to have to do everything we could

You know you beat a team like that who obviously they have an incredible culture they coach very well over there and you beat them at home like that you know that they’re going to come out and swing throw every swing that they can at you and they did that and um I thought

We responded okay but we could never get over the hump and then you come out um after halftime and I didn’t think we played well at all in that first half and you still only down four and uh we left a lot out there and

Then man we scored 14 points you know uh and I just I thought we stopped sharing the ball in that third quarter you know um and so we got back to it I said let’s just you know start for let’s try to cut it the single digits man let’s cut it

Single digits and we we’ll regroup and we did that and man just Brooke so many so many guys play so well I mean Ashton I’ve been so proud of him you know he’s uh he’s just a warrior he really is um he’s out there he just he lays it on the

Line every single night every play that he can uh Jabari obviously gave us a great minutes I thought ant’s performance was high level um they threw everything in the to sink at him uh denying him for boxing one they did everything they could he stayed patient you know he trusted his

Teammates I just thought it was a a great performance uh by him um and then I was proud of Delano you know um got in foul trouble we really needed him tonight um but we could never really get him for long spells and uh felt like in overtime you

Know Ashton and and did all he could but they were the way they were playing and we need another score out there and uh made the change and he comes in right away scores boom he made some big plays for us and then you know Tani doing Tani

Things drawing that foul and then part of the out of balance Memphis thre out of bounds just doing the things that he does that you won me see on the stat two is he’s just a winner you know he’s just a winner he’s going to do all the

Winning things um things that don’t really show up on this uh on this stat sheet but you know for him out there you know 15 and seven and he’s just he’s just an irritant out there you know he he gets under people’s skin um did a really good job um of pressuring the

Ball and the deflections and comes up with two really really big plays um that flagrant that you know we ended up only getting one free throw and they got four I said something don’t feel right about this but the rules are the rules um but

We still hung in there you know we just hung hung in there and I loved it good whatever jaar I just spoke with him on the walk he said those are the most important free throws of his life um back to back nights of double Devils how

Much fun is it to watch him play and you can see the confidence he’s just growing man bar is just growing you know um and he’s the kind of player that you know you know whatever you ask him to do he’s going to do it he’s going to do it as

Hard as he can and uh it’s fun to see him have some success there you know and obviously we trust and believe in him so when it was him on the line I felt great you know I said I feel really good he’s going to make both of these you know um

He works his butt off he’s in the gym all the time working on that so I expect him to succeed and that’s exactly what he’s doing you were down 13 with about nine minutes to go anything in particular that y’all changed at that point or did you just start makings there was a

Couple different play calls that I went to um that I felt we could free and up some and uh the the plays weren’t necessarily for him to shoot but to make the play you know um they started putting two on the ball on him um at

Some point kind of later in the fourth and I said perfect I want to put the ball in his hands we create an advantage there play four on three on the backside so there was some play calls um but more importantly than that our guys got

Tougher on D and only allowed them one shot the offensive rebounds had one bad bounds to the corner um that contar got but no real offensive rebounds we allowed one shot and we got out and we tried to play before they set their defense up
