Chauncey Billups Calls Damian Lillard a 'Ticking Time Bomb'

Damian Lillard has been overdue for a BIG game

Damian Lillard has struggled mightily in this short season. In four games, he's averaged: 17.8 PPG on 33/17/94 shooting. The numbers are unreal to even look at, considering his career average is 24.6 PPG on 44/37/89 shooting. Because of that, his coach Chauncey Billups believes he's a "ticking time bomb."

"He's a ticking time bomb," Billups said about Lillard before the game against the LA Clippers. "He's gonna have one of those big nights soon." 

Damian Lillard isn't alone in his early-season struggles. Other superstars having some early struggles include: Luka Doncic, James Harden, and Trae Young. The new foul changes have affected everyone around the league, but in the case of Lillard, he's just missing a lot of shots.

While Lillard may be struggling right now, his ultimate goal is to win a championship - something that Chauncey Billups believes he can help him with. 

"I feel like I'm honestly somebody that can help him," Billups said. "I've been in his shoes before. He has a winning spirit, and all he cares about is doing it the right way. I can relate to that."

Lillard's future with the Blazers is something that has been a hot topic all year, but for this season, it seems like those conversations are at a rest. Right now, his focus is to get out of his shooting slump and activate the "time bomb" that he's carrying.
