Brad Botkin @bradbotkincbs
Haha Billups refuses to stop leaning against the scorer’s table like “you guys swim in your own mess” he ain’t calling timeout for nothing. He, and Olshey of course, gonna look real bad if he can’t even match the production of the coach who was supposedly the problem – 12:07 AM

Billups got an easy cut and score from Zubac, and Billups has seen enough.
LA up 41-25, 8:25 left in first half. They have turned the ball over some, but Kennard is cooking: 13 points to lead all scorers and outscoring Portland bench by himself. – 11:16 PM

Bledsoe goes down the middle of the lane with little resistance for the layup and Billups has seen enough with Portland down 39-25 with 8:25 to play in the first half – 11:15 PM

Billups explaining that tonight is special for him. It’s his daughter’s birthday, his first road game, and he recalled how he helped Lue enter the league in ’98 after Billups had a year experience and now those roles are reversed with Lue helping Billups get into coaching. – 9:13 PM

Billups says that Trail Blazers being last in assists last year, “makes it hard to play that way” … in terms of encouraging more ball movement – 9:07 PM

Chauncey Billups days that one of the things he loves about coaching was working with Paul George outside of just the point guard skills he was entrusted with when Billups was Lue’s assistant. Says that is the easy part of coaching for him, and praised George’s demeanor – 9:05 PM

Is preparing for a team coached by one of your best friends different than any other team? Ty Lue on Chauncey Billups’ Blazers: “It’ll be a little different,” he said with a grin behind his mask. – 8:50 PM
Jason Quick @jwquick
Nobody influenced or prepared Chauncey Billups to be an NBA coach more than his close friend, Ty Lue. Tonight, the two will coach against each other. A story from last month about when Lue moved in with Billups and gave him a six-week coaching clinic: theathletic.com/2824709/2021/0… – 11:33 AM
