Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 107, Chicago Bulls 110
Coach down 16 at one point obviously in Valiant effort to come back what was your message to the guys down the stretch and how tough of a loss is one like that yeah we we it was a tough I mean it was a tough one all night really I mean
We uh we were so far below our half court uh excuse me our halftime goals as far as passing the ball um we was we it just was a tough passing night for us and then you know we get to the fourth quarter then we find a way to start
Moving it playing very quickly got us back in the game uh playing the way that we normally like to play you know um and we gave oursel a chance you know which was which was great and uh you know us not playing well it’s they had like I don’t know four or
Five end of the shot clock shots that just threw up and made you know uh those type those those type of things they they take a little wind out of your sell but we kept playing we kept fighting and uh you know end of the game I didn’t think
We executed very well down the stretch when it all counted you guys go sorry please you guys won the rebounding battle and it felt it just from watching from the naked eye it was a very physical game especially down low was that something you were preaching crashing the boards
Cuz you did a great job of it especially in the fourth yeah yeah we we knew we needed to uh we were going to need help down there you know da can’t do it all by himself and they got two big guys over there that really really rebound um
Andre Drummond is just a beast on the glass uh you you just can’t keep him off uh he tried to put two guys on him but yeah I thought we did a good job on the glass uh for the most part I thought our defense was was pretty good all night
You know we changed up you know from our Zone to our man we we just changed up a lot defensively I thought defensively we were pretty we were good enough um I thought Anton had a really really good game versus their pressure you know having nine assists and one
Turnover um you know was was was big time you know um cuz they have some real real Defenders on that team um and they try to force you into a lot of bad situations and I thought the decision making and stuff was really stood out
And and obviously da um da was a force again you talk about kind of their size in the fourth quarter you were playing DeAndre and W and Jabari all together kind of what did you like about that lineup I imagine because it probably give you some and W I think scored like
12 points in the first quarter as well yeah I went I went big at that point um again we we was just trying to really you know we we was trying to really turn the tide a little bit and we went really big um having Delano at the two and at
The point and then we went you know obviously bar W and da I thought it was a good lineup for us to be honest with you U we played so much Zone in the game I wasn’t really worried too much about uh that us defensively there you know I
Thought we were we were solid there and then we didn’t even play zone with that unit we played a lot of switching defenses and I thought we they helped each other um so I was happy with how we played with that unit how close you think game was to get
That three-pointer off that they went in that day yeah I thought it was close I thought it was real close um I thought the whistle was kind of early to be honest with you but you know I don’t know probably I’m sure they were right

Duop looked good at the 4. Get him some more minutes there
The money He makes i would also smile nonstop for not improving anything week over week
Billups smiling. Of course, keep cashing those checks. 3rd straight wasted year. Adding Schmitt as draft consultant did what? Scoot, Murray, Rupert. NBA is a joke and the PTB are at the top of the heap

It's always more fun to watch the Blazers lose close games, then watching the Blazers lose by 20 to 62
