Chauncey Billups Came Quotations

No doubt about it. That team is one of the best teams in the West. They've been struggling a little bit but that's when it's toughest to play teams, when they're struggling. They're looking to get back right and what better team to beat than us? We didn't look past that team, came out and took care of business.

He was everywhere. He had so much energy tonight. We came into this game focused, because we knew we didn't play our best yesterday. When we lose a game that was there to win, we don't like that.

Our only motivation is not winning it last year. That's our whole motivation. We thought we was the best team in the world last year and came up a little bit short. We feel the same way again and we want to validate that.

Larry is great and made a difference on our team, ... But I think we were great before he got here. We may have made the Finals the year before Larry got here, but I was injured. He came into a good situation and he made us better. It is going to be our chance to show we have a great team.

It felt good - it was halfway down and it came out. That's to be expected when the night is going like that.

You know what I mean, just waiting to collide. There were some struggles in my first couple of months. There were definitely some struggles with Coach Brown. But we both sacrificed a lot. We came to a happy medium and it's been a perfect marriage ever since then. My game has definitely grown playing for Coach Brown. I think I look at the game in a different light. I understand that I can dominate a game now without having to score as much as I usually do on most nights.

We came into this game really focused on what we needed to do, making some adjustments. That team just fought. They just fought. You have to give them a lot of credit, but come fourth quarter . . . we just had to grind it out.

We came into this game very focused, trying to get back on the right track. We knew we let one get away last night and it wasn't our best (performance).

We came out aggressive, trapping and running around, having fun, and guys were making shots. It was fun.

It went kind of down hill. They got some confidence going and got back into the game. They came out victorious.

It was just kind of downhill. They got a little confidence going and they got back into the game and they came out victorious.

It was a good win for us. To come back, especially after a tough loss against Miami (Sunday) and playing a team that beat us a couple weeks ago. We came out focused today and took care of business.
