Chauncey Billups Hoot Quotations

He's a volume shooter and he's pretty much the No. 1 and No. 2 options for them. He's going to shoot a lot of shots, and he's going to make some tough ones and score some points. We'll be right there doing whatever we can to make it harder on him.

When he shoots it like that, we're pretty impossible.

It's as simple as our new system allowing us to play up and down a lot more. If you're open, you're supposed to shoot the ball in this offense.

I'm glad he's getting that opportunity to play consistent minutes. He's great for our team because he's athletic and he can make plays with the ball. He can stretch the defense with his shooting ability, and he's a big piece to our team.

They live and die with their three-point shot; they got a lot of great three-point shooters. We're just trying to run them off that line -- either go to the rack or shoot mid-range shots. Because we know if they get it cooking from that three-point line, you could give yourself a long night.

It was just one of those nights. Sometimes the game is going a certain way, and I feel like I've got to try to step up and be aggressive shooting the ball. These have definitely been two tough games.

If we had won a game like that, shooting as poorly as we did, that would have been one of the more impressive wins of the season.

They're probably one of the best shooting teams in the league. They usually hit a lot of those shots that they were missing. We try to take a couple things away. Take a couple guys out of their sweet spots. Still, they've got guys that can knock it down. So we haven't seen their best punch yet. But I don't think they've seen our best yet, either.

We just had a tough shooting night. We got all the shots that we wanted, but they just didn't go down.

I need to get some extra work in. Same shots I've been shooting haven't been going.

I needed to get some extra work in. The same shots that I've been shooting just haven't been going in. I think it's just reps. We haven't had that much practice time. I haven't had that much time to work on it, so it's just repetition.

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.
