In his first season as head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, the walls may quickly be caving in on Chauncey Billups.
Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer said in a recent report that Blazers players are frustrated with Billups’ coaching demeanor and offensive system.
Billups, who signed a five-year contract with Portland, has already had to withstand quite the snowstorm. Some big-time changes have come to the Blazers’ front office in past weeks, and star player Damian Lillard recently had to address a report claiming that he too had tension with Billups.
Overall, the Blazers are a subpar 11-16, but that still has them in play-in tournament range out West. They are also surprisingly a top-ten team in offensive efficiency this year (per ESPN). With Lillard back from a multi-week injury absence, this could be Billups’ best chance to right the ship.
