Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 107, New Orleans Pelicans 126
Um I thought we played I thought we played well um I mean the biggest point is the turnovers I mean you can’t you can’t absorb that against a really good team at home uh you know we we we knew that that would be a uh that’s what they try to do
They try to turn you over so credit to them they did a really good job but um you know 31 points off a turn turnovers just especially it’s tough to absorb that but I thought uh we did a pretty good job other than that you know fighting
Them um the rebounds we knew that that would be an issue for us but we fought him we did a really good job on the glass it was just it was just a turnovers talk so much abouto his confidence and what you think of his performance today um I thought he his his
Aggressiveness in the first half uh it fueled us in a major way you know um this team in particular they try to they you know they try to take ant out of it with their full court denials and and it’s really important for everybody else to just be aggressive and attack when
That happens um and Delano was incredible with that I mean his Pace getting it up the floor his aggressiveness attacking the basket whether it was for a score or a playmaking opportunity uh really really good you know so uh I was very happy for him he played great right coach you
Mentioned the turnovers being issued was do you feel like that was the fourth quarter kind of was that the main issue in the fourth quarter I mean you guys stay close to yeah the turnovers hurt us but it it took us too long I mean their defense
Just really picked up in the fourth quarter too you know start at Fourth first the the first four or five minutes of that fourth quarter we couldn’t score you know we couldn’t score um and granted we had a lot of had to go with a lot of really young guys there
Um because I played ant and Delano they were both really tired I had to bring them both out of the game at the same time which is not what I would like to do but also you know I don’t want I don’t want to overplay those guys um so
That was a tough it was a tough group for us we couldn’t really score and then we turned it over so that was kind of like a double whammy I think we we talked about this a little bit Tani particularly offensively I mean like we we’ve kind of seen what he does
Defensively but it seems like he’s he’s kind of maybe taking taking up a little M May yeah yeah he’s he’s um he’s been very aggressive offensively you know which which is what you know I like you know I want him to be aggressive I want
Him to be smart about it I want him to understand the game time and score when to take what shots and he’s doing better at it you know U and I’m happy that he is doing much better at that and then there’s sometimes he makes some misreads
You know um like the shot that he took at the top of the key in the fourth quarter was it was a bad it was a bad shot at the time I mean we had struggled to score that would have given us a chance to think cut it to 11 um it was
It was a tough look but not only I mean I don’t even blame that on youth because veterans make the same play you know um it’s just a judgment call you know but Tani’s offense has been has been really good we know how we depend on him and trust him
Defensively but he’s getting so much better on the other end

The defense from the backcourt is atrocious. Need to address it during the summer. You cannot bring back the same players and think the results will be different.
If "both teams played hard" was a coach
incredible, good, really really good, 20 point loss
They 2 best defenders didn't even play in Herb and Dyson Daniels๐ฎ
