Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 103, LA Clippers 116

Johy what’s the difference in Chris’s career Arc if he’s hitting threes versus not um I mean it’s it’s there’s a big it’s pretty substantial you know because um he’s he’s just a basketball player he kind of does everything he’s like a Swiss army knife um and if you can get those type of

Guys to become really good three-point shooters then you have those those giggies and you know then you have those real real guys you know um that are championship starters you know if you will so um yeah that I think you know that’s a big difference and if not you

Know he’s still going to be a terrific player you know but it’s just your ceiling is just so it’s just different what do you think the difference is between particularly young players trying to figure out their spot as as a shooter in the league shooting 43% from

The corners but he’s 19% above the break which you don’t usually see that Stark of a difference between the two when you see something like that does that make you think it’s something more mental than it is more mechanical uh I mean the corner three is the shortest three on the floor

Obviously so it’s a different shot you know um and there’s so many other things that could bother you you know on those wings and at the top of the key is so much floor so so many different opportunities that you have when you’re in that corner you know it’s most of the

Court is over with because it’s the you out of bounds you only got really one side to worry about so it’s just so much other things that could go through your mind um other places you know in them quadrants but when you’re in a corner is the decisions are pretty easy you know

Um I think that’s one thing that makes most players more comfortable there as opposed to being up top you know up top you can drive right you can drive left you can you know there there so many things you next that like in the corner it’s not that many options um so

It cuts down your thinking process you know um but also you know it’s it’s hard to get Corner threes man in this league you know um for that reason you know it’s why most teams and players shoot better in the corners but it’s a tough spot to get to

You know and get a ton of them through the process of development how frustrating was that third quarter sloppy seven T yeah yeah it it’s been our Achilles um it’s been our Achilles Hill you know um shoot I think if we go back a couple games I mean shoot against

New Orleans I think we gave up 31 points off turnovers in the game in games that we are competing in you know um I think of Chicago 19 points and it’s a tough spot for us you know um and some of it is Youth and some of it is you know we

Just we’re just careless with the ball and then the night like tonight it really was them you know um like those other couple games they didn’t really pressure us enough to turn us over tonight the pressure was was real you know you have some real real Defenders

Out there um that were forcing us into bad situations and those are those nights where you say all right you know there’s a teachable moments for all of us that we got to talk about and watch but man that’s where experience you you just hope that you learn from it

You know but um it was mostly them tonight it wasn’t it wasn’t just us I mean we were a little careless but they they turned their pressure up at the half and it made a big difference what are you seeing this scoop this last week or so that he’s been back from the

Injury you’ve been up and down been up and down um struggled in some of the games you know that’s why really I wanted to leave him out there you know um because the more minutes the better you know um whether it’s a great game or not I just think getting him comfortable

CU we’ve seen uh throughout the year certain moments where he looked very comfortable you know where he got so much better and then you know these Peaks and valleys and then you see some where he’s he’s tur it over he’s not really reading the the game fast enough um we’ve seen that

In the last week or so so he’s been up and down the last week have you seen with I mean to us he’s he’s been pretty steady the whole year basically whether he’s playing well or not you know have you have you seen anything Chang this

Last little bit of time with you know his process and kind of how he’s you know reacting to stuff and how he’s you know reacting to you know games that he has that are good or bad oh no no no I haven’t man he he’s I’m telling you he

He really impresses me with that you know cuz I I’ve been him before and I wasn’t that steady you know I was I was wearing those struggles with you know day in and day out he doesn’t he doesn’t you know um you got to have a short

Memory in this league and that’s that’s a it sounds very cliche but it’s so true he does he has that you know um I think that’s been helpful to him chance hit a wall though this a lot of games oh there’s a absolutely there’s a chance

He’s hit a wall like every body else you know that’s that age that hadn’t played this many games um and I know for me you know and I’m pretty sure for him too especially at that position it’s it’s more mental Than Physical you know it’s so much to think

About every game every team plays different I’m guarding somebody new somebody um they’re putting two or three different people on me sometimes they’re going under sometimes they’re trapping sometime oh man I got to get de ball I got to damn damn ants over there I got

To get it’s so much it’s so much you know and you you you just fried sometimes you know so that’s the wall um that most people talk about uh for point guards you know for other players you don’t have as much but for point guards it’s tough man it’s tough
