Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 110, Los Angeles Lakers 134

Coach your overall thoughts on this one tonight um I mean big picture I thought the turnover was really hurt us and we didn’t have many at the at the half we they were just so loud I mean every time we turned over they was getting dunks

Easy ones but even before that I just thought um defensively at the start of the game we didn’t show enough resistance they really got going um and they’re a veteran team if they see something they going to keep attacking it you know so we didn’t as a group we just weren’t good

Enough um at the start of the game defensively um and that hurt us in general coach how would you say you guys have done in terms of of bringing consistent effort and approach to each game in the last couple weeks I guess well if you put the couple weeks

In there then we got to go back to that road trip that that it makes no sense to even do that sure you you know um but since we’ve been back um I think our effort has been really good you know our intention has been pretty good um today

I thought our effort was okay but our attention to detail wasn’t you know um and it just wasn’t you know our spirit wasn’t quite there from the very start of the game um which was kind of uncharacteristic of us for for da what do you think can be

Done to improve the odds of limiting early foul trouble yeah that that I mean I thought that for sure through DA’s Rhythm all the way often the early fouls I thought the first foul bless you I thought the first foul um you know if you going to

Take a foul like that you got to take a foul you know it’s a touch foul LeBron James is like a freight train coming downhill you just tap him on his shoulder and one I mean you know that that shouldn’t happen um but then the second foul and third I mean just it’s

Tough to to get in a rhythm and to be actually aggressive when you’re in foul trouble you know I think all players know that so you know we just we got to be more we got to pay attention more at the start of the games and knowing that

If you’re going to be have one or two fouls you just got to be careful you know out there or as a coach I’m saying I rather take you out in foul trouble if you’re not gonna play with the same type of tenacity because we’re going to be giving up baskets regardless

So I took him out and even that he coming out at a time that you’re not used to being out of the game you know it just throws your Rhythm off you know and for da who’s trying to you know he’s just kind of getting his feet back under

Him and he’s trying to find Rhythm um that’s that’s that’s a tough deal coach what do you feel like you’ve been getting out of uh Malcolm’s been playing great man he’s been playing great um he doesn’t have very many bad nights you know um we getting scoring out of

Him you know we getting his playmaking out of it I mean tonight he gets you know nine assists and seven rebounds with 23 points so um you know he’s been awesome you know in his minutes and with him starting out there
