Chauncey Billups Good Quotations

We're just looking to be consistent now. Hopefully we can keep being good defensively and keep working offensively. That started a few games ago; we had a good win last night so we just want to keep it going.

Milwaukee shoots a lot of jump shots and our big guys do a good job of getting the rebounds. We're able to make some long outlet passes and we have the guys who can get out fast. Then we're off to the races.

I am a little more excited now because we've got some good teams coming in over the next week or so. I am looking forward to that.

Basically, it was a high pick-and-roll. I knew they were going to help and I just slipped and lost control. I just tried to make a shot and got in a little finger roll. It actually felt good but it didn't go.

We take a lot of pride in being a good road team. From Day 1, we talked about being a great road team.

Guys are definitely feeling good right now. We made it here healthy; that was our main goal. ... We're feeling great right now. I think there's a little extra pep in everybody's step today.

He's a good friend of mine. When Larry took that job, he called me like six times in two days.

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.

I think I made a good case. It would mean a lot. Not as much as another championship, but it means a lot to even be mentioned.

Man, it was ugly. We were getting good looks, too. But at some point, I always feel we're going to get it going and make a run or two that leads to a win.

That was a good win. We had a big win (Tuesday night against Dallas) with a lot of emotion and we were able to push that all aside and focus on this one. That was good by us.

That's us. We're never rattled. Even when we were down, we're never rattled, and we just keep our composure. That's why we're so good in those tough, grind-it-out situations.

You all know that sometimes we get bored. When something like that happens, it just fuels our fire a little bit, and good luck to the other team when that happens.

We had control, but we missed a couple shots, they made a couple, a couple of calls didn't go our way and they got back in it. They won it with a good shot from Paul Pierce. Tough shot.

We talked about it in the locker room before the game, that this was the game we needed. We felt they hadn't been tested in this postseason, they hadn't played against a team like us that plays defense, believes in itself and tries to control the tempo of the game. Yesterday was a good game to show them that.

Did I think we'd get off to 20-3? No, I didn't think that, but we've got some good veterans plus our core is the same.

Sometimes, a loss can be a good thing. You don't like it, but it makes you shape back up.

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.

They've got a really good team. They're deep, they play hard, and they've got a lot of great shooters. If they get that three-ball going, they're tough. There are a lot of different situations we've got to be aware of.

They're a good team, a lot better than the way they played this year. Of course they beat us already. I think they match up pretty good with us. They have a good mix. They're definitely a team we might have to see down the road some time.

It's just another game. They might look at it as something more than it really is. They had struggled against the good teams, and now they beat the best team in the league. So I am sure they are proud. They should be.

It was really an ugly game. We missed so many lay-ups. But when you're a good team, you win ugly games.

(The Nuggets) are good now. It's a little different.

It's always good when the top teams play. You always look forward to that. Obviously, we have some history with that team being in that tough, grind-it-out series last year. It's going to be fun.

It means a lot to me, because I saw what everyone wrote about me that I was a bust. It feels good right now to have people look at me and say that kid has come a long way and he's really worked on his game.

It's going to be a good opportunity to play against the other best team in the league. It's always good and fun to have games like this.

It's been a struggle for him, but I know he's feeling good about the trade and how it went down. Things will start looking up for him.

It's unbelievable. I knew we were going to get off to a good first half, but I didn't think we were going to be this good.

It's crazy. We had good looks and just couldn't knock them down, and then at the end, when I tried to miss the free throw, because we didn't have any time-outs and I knew we'd have to go full-court, I end up making it. It was crazy.

It was a good one. I was just feeling good. I was being aggressive, knowing I had a tough match-up with Steve Francis. It was just a good game. They guys were telling me to run the plays that we were running, and I just stayed aggressive.

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.

It was a good win for us, especially coming off a tough loss to Miami. You've got to be proud of what we have done so far, but our work is far, far from over.

It was a big game and we looked forward to it. It's always big when you are playing the best. I think I did a pretty good job on Duncan.

They've got some really good young talent on that team. They just need some experience to play together for a few years and they will, they could be a force.

This is a very disappointing loss for us. We have to win these games and we know that. We slipped up tonight and they played hard. This is a game where we feel we beat ourselves. We've done a good job of not doing that very often this year and when we have done that, we have picked up right away.

Anytime you have the big guys we have -- we've got five or six shot-blockers, guys that can rebound -- you're going to have a good defense,

Any time something like that happens, it just fuels our fire. Good luck other team.

That's a great feat. It feels good to accomplish that, especially in a storied franchise like this with the Bad Boys.

I'm sure he was probably a little frustrated. When you're a good team, you expect to win, and when you don't, you do something you might not be prone to doing.

I just didn't want to let him run free, ... He's a tough cover. Every time he puts that ball, he's got a chance to make that shot. He missed some shots. It was good D, but he missed some shots.

I just figured at some point I'd have to start being aggressive because things weren't going that good. We were getting good looks, but we just weren't knocking them down. So I thought I'd try my luck, and it started rolling.

I don't know how much better we can play. Things are pretty good right now. If it stays this way, I'll take it.

I don't know. I really don't. I just know how good it is to do it in basketball.

He's very skilled. Very skilled. He's got a good opportunity. The only thing that I was ever frustrated with was when he was on the floor and he just looked like he didn't care. He looked a little disinterested. At the same time, I understood that as well because he wasn't getting an opportunity to play.
