Chauncey Billups Rip Quotations

Rip was aggressive early. And once he got it cooking, we kept going to him and we fed off him. When he gets hot, I don't know anybody who can slow him down.

He's the best I've ever worked with. He's helped me so many times. We all have the confidence that Rip is going to be fine, especially with Arnie helping him.

Rip did a great job on him, that was his assignment. He contested a lot of his shots.

I would have felt a little disappointed if Rip wasn't a part of it. We're like one, man. We're like one.

I don't know what Rip was doing, but he was hot, so I just kept going to him. He was thirsty today.

They called the same thing that got Rip thrown out of the game. They called the same exact thing, same ref. I don't understand.

When he's aggressive and he's playing like that, it takes the pressure off everybody. Rip (Richard Hamilton) doesn't have to worry about scoring so many points, I don't either.

When he's aggressive and he's playing like he's playing, it just takes pressure off of everybody. Rip (Hamilton) doesn't have to worry about scoring so many points, I don't have to worry about (it). It just takes pressure off everybody, and we can really spread that offense out. Everybody can get 10, 12, 14, 15 points, and you win going away.

It helped us tremendously. That first game back from a West Coast trip is always difficult to get back into the swing of things and get adjusted to the time zone and all of that. Without that, you don't see us score 38 points in the fourth quarter.
