Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups isn’t happy with the logistics of his team’s recent schedule.
“It’s just a terrible scheduling thing,” Billups said following Portland’s 119-112 home loss to the Detroit Pistons Sunday night. “But it is what it is.”
The matchup against Detroit marked Portland’s return home from a seven-game road trip, but it wasn’t a long stay. After the loss, the Blazers immediately flew to San Francisco in order to play one more road game Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. The home-and-road back-to-back will conclude a slate of nine games in 14 days for Portland, including eight on the road and two back-to-backs.
