Chauncey Billups Offense Quotations

We really executed. We got some easy baskets. We played with high energy. Our defense was great and our offense was better.

When he's aggressive and he's playing like he's playing, it just takes pressure off of everybody. Rip (Hamilton) doesn't have to worry about scoring so many points, I don't have to worry about (it). It just takes pressure off everybody, and we can really spread that offense out. Everybody can get 10, 12, 14, 15 points, and you win going away.

That was kind of fun. It was a high-tempo shootout until the end. Our offense is good, and we have some great offensive players, but defense is still what we do.

We changed up our scheme a little bit defensively and made them take tougher shots. Once we made our adjustments and changed our scheme a little bit at halftime, we started hitting some shots as well, and our defense picked our offense up, too.

That's what we're about. Our offense is good, and we got a lot of great offensive players. But our defense - that's what we're known for. That's what we do.

This is a game we had chances to win. I thought our defense was really good tonight. When the defense is bad, I'm concerned. When our offense just isn't making shots - that happens.
