Billups can’t make adjustments to save his life. He really is a bad coach. He knows the game but he doesn’t know coaching. Other coaches make adjustments to counter what a team is doing. Billups can’t counter the counter. He gets out coached nightly.

The bench struggled? That’s every night! They have the worse bench in the league.

We need changes, firstly, a new coach and later a new roster

[joshnewton]

Doesn’t matter who the coach. We have been running to much iso for years. Golden state moves the ball, and they get good shots. I think it’s on dame to run more plays and get guys set up.

[JEBEDIAHD]

We've been saying this all season apart from when we were 10-3 to start the season. This "we have to be better" nonsense can only last so long until the front office realizes this is this teams ceiling we need drastic changes this offseason

[princenamor]

I wonder how Becky Hammon would have done if she had been hired as a coach because this guy looks clueless.

[nrdd]

I think the chance to "be better" has come and gone. Time for Jodie to hand it over to Phil and get our Blazer's back.

It's what Paul would have wanted.

[gregbors]

Poor Chauncey, told to tank 2 seasons in a row. Sorry, man

[HWKLFE]

We are sick of the excuses... Do something about it!

[Tonebaited]

Chauncey you got to go bro

Don’t ruin Dame’s prime.

[theatlantaanalyst]

As a hawks fan watching this press conference this reminds me a ton of Nate McMillan, 0 adjustments no productive gameplan. Portland needs to fire Chauncey hire someone with real experience like Frank Vogel, Ime or pay a ton to get Brad Stevens outta his contract. Then I hate to say it move on from Ant and these younger guys and get some proven pieces next to dame and a REAL CO STAR. Use the picks and get a blockbuster done and deals that make the team a lot better. And ask yourself can Dame be a number 1 option, regardless he deserves better. Chauncey must go and hire a proven guy and upgrade this roster top to bottom and for the love of God build a new arena with better and newer features.

Knicks take advantage of their opponents reliance on 3s.

[jessboysen]

No rhyme or reason to any of Billup’s decisions, rotations, or schemes. We have the talent to win a majority of these games. Unfortunately this story line is all to familiar for long time Blazers fans. Inept management, poor coaching, horrible draft picks, injuries, ridiculous contracts. Just a sad reality for an awesome Fanbase.

Bench struggles every night, what’s new,

[zrexrich]

🤔 Maybe the new guy, Douglas Fur will help the team 😂

[FacialFischl]

A commentator is all I see. I see no coaches

[enigma]

Good former players make horrible coaches, CB is no exception. Blazers have one of the top 5 players in the league and can’t make the playoffs, CB ain’t it

[jamesdanielssr]

You people stop it. This has nothing to do with the coach. This is all on the players that they got. This is a management thing from start the players they brought in .from the start. First of all you are too young. You have to have a balance between the veterans and the young guys. I see the coach teaching constantly. But these players just don't seem to get it. They're lazy they're not smart they keep doing the same mistakes over and over again. They don't hustle they never get loose balls.. And I said this from the start this is not a championship team this is barely a good team. The starting line other than damian. Lillard. And I would like to see more of grant. But the rest of them can go.. We need a center that actually can play close to eighty two games year. And a long better free throat shooter. And play some defense. An a off guard that can actually play defense. And a good small forward. And a bench that can actually play. You have young guys but yet they don't play with the energy that a young guy should have. You can't blame hustle and energy level on a Coach. that's on a player. But we will see this summer what they do. And if this management and ownership don't do something that actually moved the needle. Please sell this team to somebody who love basketball and who wants to win..

Reddish and Little a combined 1-11 from the field. Pathetic
