Chauncey Billups Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 77, Oklahoma City Thunder 139
Coach tough one tonight talking a little bit about how it went down yeah it was I mean this was uh sheesh um not much really good to say about this one for us I mean I will say this I thought that we generated some pretty good looks in the first half um
The fact that we couldn’t make pretty much anything deflated us you know but more than anything on the defensive end I mean shoot we just had no resistance man you know um I get 58 points in the paint in the first half I mean shoot that it takes most
Teams don’t get that in a game you know so we just had no resistance I thought uh we allowed our lack of shot making to deflate us on the other end of the floor and then you playing against an elite team you know that that really moves the
Ball you know they get 41 assist on 53 made field goals is I mean shoot that’s unheard of you know so it was it was almost like a perfect storm to be honest with you you know nothing really worked for us how much of it was shot selection for you guys versus their
Defense well I thought that um you know they allow the most catch and shoot threes in the league you know so we did a good job of finding shooters or finding shots we couldn’t make shots you know um but they do have a really good defense don’t get me wrong they have a
Really good defense so um I think it was a little bit of both but we we did a good job of trying to get type of shots that we wanted you know um just couldn’t make J you got a team of professionals how what’s your message to him either at
Halftime or in timeouts in the second half when a game gets that out of control and and how do you think they responded to it yeah you know um when the game gets kind of that far out of reach and you got a game again tomorrow um you got to be smart about
When you take your starters out of there obviously you know I took him out of there you know maybe seven minutes left in the third quarter it was so far Out Of Reach but to me it’s about um you just you going to have nights like this
You know I know personally I’ve been on I’ve been in the game like this before but on the other side of it um but you just can’t let go the Rope you know and I was proud like of those young guys those young guys came out there they was
Tired as heck man but they they laid it on the line they fought hard they were still picking up full court and getting deflections um and that’s what you want you know you want guys just not going to let go of the Rope out there um so I was definitely proud about that

Ok ok , fire billups
Whether it is his fault or not, this game alone has to put a coach on the hot seat. If it doesnβt, then you clearly also need new team ownership.
Fire everyone and sell the team.
Thats embarrassing. Something isn't right here.
im done with billups. i was such a believer since his introductory press conference. bro was saying all the right things and after giving him chances the first season and a half and being patient with him, i am completely out on him. if these type of humiliating losses keep racking up, i wouldnt be surprised chauncey is gone sometime near the end of this szn or smth.
I canβt believe anybody at this point would vouch for Chauncey Billups.
This guy is an absolute embarrassment.
I canβt think of one thing he does good.
Supposedly he was brought in to be a defensive coach??? Letβs put that notion to bed. Go away Chauncey.
Take a long long walk off a very very short pier.
Man I miss Terry Stotts
Losing by 62 >>> CAN β’ NOT β’ HAPPEN
This will not only get him fired but also ruin his prospect as a coach.
Is there anything that can get this guy to show an ounce of passion or intensity? Really wouldnβt think he was just involved in one of the worst nights in franchise history
The games are now over by halftime and the body language looks terrible. I expected the young players to struggle this year but i was expecting a lot more from Ant & Grant.
Loses by 62 and probably still wont get fired
Has someone already made a Broncos (vs Dolphins) reference/joke yet?
Donβt worry Blazer fans, us Thunder fans went through it and paid our dues as well. Trust your process and if anything focus on the development of your young Stars like Sharpe and Scoot. Find your core in the next 2 seasons and things can change! GG
Billups get out of Portland!!! Worst coach ever!!! No defense no offense! He got them playing street ball
So same management fires Pete Carol but keeps this garbage of a coach? Seriously i know Billups was a baller but dude is not a coach.
Billups you not a coach Get out of town Players donβt want to play for you need new coach for Portland
He's not wrong about them getting open in the first half, but the effort throughout the entire game was just….sheesh
I know weβre rebuilding and all but goodaaaamnnnnn man
#hirebillups
The message is I suck as a coach but the owner doesnβt care soβ¦β¦β¦.
Dude your team doesnβt even play hard for you anymore.
Truly remarkable. Chauncey Billups is a disgrace to the game of Basketball
