Billups: ‘We’re Going to Do Everything We Can To Ensure We’re Not Here Again.’

Just an hour after the Portland Trail Blazers lost their season finale to the Golden State Warriors, 157-101, Portland Head Coach Chauncey Billups took the podium to reflect on the 2022-23 season.

In Billups’ second season as an NBA head coach, he guided Portland to the fifth-worst record in the league. The franchise shut down key players by the end of the season and missed the playoffs for the second consecutive year. Billups, accustomed to success during his 17-year playing career, emphasized to media today how much he hates losing and vowed the team would start progressing forward.
