Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 118, Indiana Pacers 115

What you like much about that one uh man I like so much about I love you know we have so many people contribute you know um it’s a difficult team to play against it really is uh with their their pace and their their Pace in the half court is is

Is as deadly as anybody’s their shot making is very dangerous um I think I would say our game plan discipline um stood out for me you know we wanted to we felt like the success we had against them there if we could guard them in the first 10 seconds

Of the shot clock and be disciplined and get back and load up that we have great chance in the game and uh 68% of their possessions we got back and guarded those first 10 seconds which was a big deal we want to attack the paint um attack attack attack attack I just

Always believe when you get on the free throw line that’s one way to slow a fast team down we did that you know we had shot 31 free throws there the first time we shot 35 today so just the game plan discipline stood out um to me obviously

You know Jeremy and Malcolm and Jabari and we had some guys that were Stellar you know um but everybody Sho I thought before school went down school was incredible you know so so many guys play well what’s the deal with scoo is that just do you think that’s anything I think nasal contusion

Uh so I was just so happy that it you know wasn’t a a concussion so but I think hopefully he’ll start feeling better how how do you think da looked in his first game back rusty rusty um like I like everybody would you know to be honest with you but um you

Know he didn’t get frustrated at all and and he kept on fighting and kept on scrapping you know I went I took him out late in the game obviously cuz I wanted to be smaller and play our you know just switch everything where they had no

Advantage but um I thought da was fine I thought he was fine he just uh he just hadn’t played basketball in a while what have you liked about the combination between Jeremy and Jabari I mean I know it’s been two games that been starting together but it seems like both guys

Tonight out early seemed like they compliment Each Other Well I agree I agree I think they compliment each other’s games uh very well I mean obviously we know bar is is is a is a great rebounder so he’s going to be in there he got a great knack for that

Basketball um I think it takes a little pressure off of Jeremy you know cuz Jeremy is he’s not a great rebounder but he’s so great in so many other things um so to have that guy compliment him in that way also um Jabar is just so competitive man he plays with so much

Fire you know um and he can really guard too so I think those two play very well together um and they they they play well off of each other Jony how does a guy like Mal who he knows he’s going right and he knows he’s going right how does a

Guy like that get to the right over and over and over through their career whether a team’s trying to weak them Gap them whatever how does how does that that ability to be able to just do that over and over and over again how how can

You kind of take that and put that into games night and night out yeah yeah I mean as a coach you know I try to you know I try to exaggerate that by some of the play calls getting him there but I don’t need to do that he can get there

On his own and there’re just certain special guys man you know the Chris Pauls and you know those guys where they you know they going right at some point they going SE yakum he’s going right but they’re crafty enough to just throw you off a little as soon as they read that

Little shift they they they can get get to their spots um yeah he’s he’s just he’s just that good man you know um he was getting to the rack tonight he was he was really really good and the shot making obviously is a big deal but it’s he just

Calms us you know he’s he’s he stabilizes the game for us out there it’s very rare in today’s NBA that you can look at a box score and see the three-point disparity and have your team have won this game any sense the pride in that the points in the paint the

Rebounds yeah it’s crazy I looked at that I said man I you know if you tell me we would go four for 12 in this game and they make 20 they make 23s and shoot 47 I say man we may it beat 30 but if you look at the points in the

Paint you know we have 66 and I also kind of count free throws as points in the paint 30 that’s 96 um that’s that’s a way of slowing slowing that down but man you know I’m not surprised surpris at all that they made 23s you know that’s that’s kind of

What they do um and I told our guys we can’t we can’t be deflated and when they make shots they’re going to make shots you know um but just get it and go you know get it and go and just just run it back down the court and try to get to

The paint make a play but yeah that you you you rarely going to see that I mean for us to take even take 12 threes is is very very low for us but I said if we don’t have to we don’t have to just keep

Getting to the B you know and tonight it just worked out you think aen and Jabari could really give you a pretty strong rebounding Duo moving forward I do I do I think with both of those guys I mean um you know they help us out that we’re

Bigger out there you know a lot more physical uh in the pain from a rebounding perspective you know da is obviously a great rebounder too so uh it’s going to be really important for us uh to be able to get those rebounds and and get off and go
