  1. You’re the coach. Make some adjustments. You’re making just about as many as stotts. Stotts would have us 5th seed with this roster

  2. i dont know if I like Billups. take some accountability and realize turnovers and to many 3s getting jacked up is the issue

  3. This was on YOU, Billups! I'm a nobody… Yet if I was able to jump into your body & control your conscience, I can literally guarantee we would have won. This was one of, if not the most poorly coached game I've ever seen. Yeah… The players shot like shit. They hold blame… But better coaching would've won this.

    Since the run we made in the 2nd quarter, I was telling my buddy how they cannot keep us out of the paint & that it's AUTOMATIC for us in the paint on them. You were literally standing up applauding Dame for a missed 3 in the 4th, just cuz he got a good look at the basket, even though everything came so easy for us in the paint. That was an off the dribble, side step, fadeaway miss. You APPLAUDED that, as if that was the shot selection we wanted. You call yourself a coach???

    Why did we take 11 more 3's than ORL, when we got everything we wanted inside? Riddle me that, coach! For the longest time, I have bitched about our shot selection this season. I wondered if you lacked control of the players. Now, it's more apparent than ever that you see nothing wrong with the shot selection. It doesn't matter if we have guys who can shoot, in this game! When they give us everything we want in the paint, why do we insist on tough 3's. We lost by only 3!!! Shot 69% from 2 (including mid/long range jumpers) & 17% from 3. ANY competent coach would've pushed his team to take it inside. If you take away the long/mid jumpers, we got almost anything we wanted in the paint. Again…. They couldn't even keep us out of the paint. There was no excuse!

    You just said yourself that in the 4th, we were missing everything from 3 & making everything at the rim. Although, you got the numbers WAY off. Check the shot chart, coach. You STILL were taking way more 3's than driving the lane or posting up. That is Einstein's definition of insanity, coach!

    On God…. If you go back & watch the film & look at the stats & STILL think that you couldn't have coached us to a W tonight, then you are beyond incompetent. I'm not some homer who thinks he can coach better than actual pro coaches. Tonight though… I ABSOLUTELY could have. This was mind boggling. We INSISTED on 3's SO many possessions. Often tough 3's, early in the clock. Sometimes a bunch of ball movement just to find the "best" 3. I seriously cannot even believe how poorly coached this game was. I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, until this game & especially w/ zero self awareness in the post game interview.

  4. Starters need to stop coming out flat and letting the opposing team dictate the pace of the game. This team will never contend for a championship if none of the starters can consistently play with the intensity required to win these types of games. A tanking team came out on a BACK TO BACK and out hustled and out worked you guys because you didn't wanna come out at the tip and give effort. Embarrassing.

  5. Chauncey Billups shouldn't be coaching. He should be playing basketball still and bring Rasheed Wallace back to Portland and win a championship like they did for the Detroit Pistons in 2004

  6. Please let the starters rest more so they have their legs.. trust Jabari, Sharpe, Keon, GP to play a bit more ..

  7. Last thing I want to do is rip on Chaunce but c'mon! This, "we're peachy keen mentality" is flat out ignorance.
