Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 114, Minnesota Timberwolves 119

Coach you just have to be proud as heck of the effort from your guys tonight man I’m super proud man these dudes they just they just don’t let up man they don’t give in I just love it I love it I think that’s our best attribute you know as a team period we

Just don’t matter who’s playing who’s not who we’re playing it don’t matter like we just keep grinding and we keep playing together you know and I was just so proud of all of them I mean going down let me get to career high today uh played his butt off man

You know um a gets a career high and assist um so happy and proud of rops you know uh rops getting the opportunity to get out there made some big threes man big threes but I thought his rebounding was big too you know rops is just a

Scrapper you know um so him for him to get that opportunity was a big deal um so so many guys just played well but I think as a team we just we just fought man we just fought fought so um I’m proud of that I’m proud of that for sure

What did you think about your team defense throughout the night I thought it was good I thought our defense was good um you know we we we were so undersized that we had to you know try to get down there and put two and three

Different guys on Rudy and on C you know for the rebounds and then that opened up obvious three-point opportunities but we had to do what we had to do you know um the free throw disparity really hurt us you know um it really really hurt us we

Had a lot of guys play great but it’s tough it it really is tough to win um when you had that type of disparity at the free throw line but it is what it is we we we just went out there and scrapped and did what we had to do when

It seemed as though they might be on a run going up 10 but you guys continued to stay in it what were you saying to your guys down the stretch just to keep hooping you know there’s no reason to overthink it at this point we played

Really well all night you know that team is a really good team they’re going to make a run when they do you know we’ll just try to put the fire out and then keep playing and I thought our guys did just that you mentioned Anthony um what

Does it say about his leadership that he kind of put the team on his back there in the fourth quarter and really turned it on yeah he did I thought he I thought he played a masterful game today I really did um he just came out they

Tried to take him away they try to trap him this and that he was so patient didn’t over you you know didn’t over um he didn’t he didn’t try to go out and try to make sure he was going to go win the game by himself today MH and I

Thought he set it up perfectly I mean he did a lot of playmaking the first three or four three quarters but sprinkled in some points and stuff there he just made them pay when they made mistakes and in the fourth quarter you know he kind of

Got going uh but man that was that was that was a massal performance to be honest by him two and one on this road trip very competitive against one of the best teams in the league tonight you have to be pleased with the effort you’ve been seeing especially on this

Trip yeah I am I am it was a great trip for us you know we go to Memphis and uh we fought hard and just like tonight we did it together we played for each other um and we came out with two wins there then you come here um incredibly

Incredibly short-handed you know um and you know how we do we don’t make excuses the next guy up is ready to go at all times and uh showed that again today thank you coach I’ve enjoyed our conversation thank you
