Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 88, Phoenix Suns 109
Your thoughts on night’s game um I thought we uh we we had a really good first quarter we came out with our intentions were great we were focused on our game plan on both sides of the ball we did a good job you know we took care
The ball um one turnover in the first quarter I thought it was amazing because our prior game uh we had eight turnovers in the first quarter and they got out 36 to 20 on us so boom We reced Tri that and then second quarter happened you know we
Had eight turnovers in the quarter they jumped out on us um 3518 in that quarter and you know we just we didn’t have enough we couldn’t score you know it was tough for us to score would you chop that up to to what you guys weren’t doing or what they were
Doing defensively to Personnel I know you guys are you’re pretty thin right now I I don’t you know me man I don’t make excuses man you know we we every time we line up out there no matter who’s out there you know it’s an NBA player and somebody that deserves
The right to be here um so you know you can say who did didn’t play I don’t I don’t do I don’t play that game you know we had enough we had guys that you know we out there playing and playing their hearts out we just we didn’t play well enough to
Win John you’ve been around long enough to see when something changes like that quickly as a coach now what can you do um you know you just start trying different lineups and different people you know um we had Shay back tonight but he was obviously on a minutes
Restriction you know he couldn’t give you too much um you start changing defenses see if you can get something going I thought that young group we had out there start of fourth um gave us some life you know but it was just the hole was too we dug a a hole too deep
For us to get out of against a good team johy now that he’s had I mean it’s been I think like three or four games now that scoot’s been starting um what have you thought about the way he’s performed since in the start and is is
It different at all from from the way he was I mean he was already making some progress but it seems like these last couple weeks it really seems like he’s kind of taken a different step he has he has he’s taken some um some important
Steps you know um in his rookie a in his process um he’s starting to understand what’s necessary on both sides of the ball um for a guy especially that’s a point guard you know um the demands on a point guard I’ve always thought are totally different than everybody else and it’s always
Tough for young guards to get that you know um and he’s starting to figure that part out you know and that’s to me that’s why he’s he’s played so well um the game is kind of coming to him now and uh he’s not having to go chase after
It you know um so so much do do you feel like that’s part of that is starting or it cuz it seems to me a bit that like he’s just maybe a little more comfortable now than he was before like you see him out there like he put up
That little floater now like before like feel like he was doing stuff like that yeah I think we’re saying the same thing you know um and I don’t think it has to do with starting because when scoo came back was bringing him off the bench and he was playing
Great um I just think now extended minutes obviously an extended opportunity with other guys out um obviously the numbers will change a little bit but man since he’s been back I just think that scoo is uh he’s continued to get better and better

Not bad with 3 starters out, still…..Grants rebounding is horrible. Dude makes 160M lol. Badji looks pretty good on defense. Scoot is good
Good Luck on the Road!
So pointless. Only for Jody to make her wealth. She doesn't care. Cronin is a joke. Miami offer would have been better. most likely Jacquez, Herro, Robinson. Instead they got a guy out for the year, another guy in love with his game but is a bust as a number 1 pick and another guy that is really good but needs stars around him to maximize what he brings. The only advantage of the trade was Camara. That's not much of a return for Lillard. Blazers ownership and management doesn't care about the fans. Only fools spend money on these game tickets and merchandise.
Love u coach..u seem stagnant and lethargic and the teams play reflects it..
Your saying the right things but your approach is not working..from coach Ra π..
Blazers might be wasting some young superstars π
The nice guy faΓ§ade is getting old Chauncey – please take a long walk off a short pier.
Just an astonishing job of Coaching – one turnover in the first quarter- what a monumental accomplishment. Iβm just beside myself in awe
Fire π₯ Chauncey now!!!!!!
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh
Nothing they did would have led to a winning season π they're gonna suck for a while just accept it and still root for them.
Hire Terry stotts
Chauncey just step down and become an assistant coach for the Detroit pistons
What a joke. You donβt play our two best players basically the entire second half and you have the nerve to say β we didnβt play well enough to winβ thatβs ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, when they go on a 10-0 run after you take out moses brown, you readjust, instead you take out the entire starting lineup minus scoot and roll over with like 7 minutes left in the THIRD QUARTER
Best tank commander in the league!
don't forget, this team was built to win championships with Lillard.
