Trail Blazers-Warriors Preview

Posted Apr 13 2011 2:36AM

One thing is certain - the Portland Trail Blazers will open the postseason on the road.

Coach Nate McMillan's team will have to see how the final day of the regular season shakes out to see which of three cities they'll be headed to begin the playoffs.

After clinching the sixth seed in the Western Conference with a victory in their home finale, the Trail Blazers close the regular season Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors.

Despite having its season high-tying eight-game home winning streak snapped with a 108-87 loss to Golden State (35-46) on April 5, Portland (48-33) clinched its third consecutive playoff berth earlier that night with Houston's loss to Sacramento.

With a 102-89 victory over Memphis on Tuesday, the Trail Blazers won for the fifth time in six games and know they'll meet the third seed when the postseason starts.

"Whenever you can get through everything we've been through this year - the injuries and the guys out of the lineup - and still be the sixth seed it feels good," LaMarcus Aldridge said after recording his fourth straight double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds.

However, the Trail Blazers won't know who to prepare for until Wednesday's games are completed.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who defeated West-leading San Antonio 102-93 on Wednesday to tie Dallas for the second seed, could drop to No. 3 if they lose at Sacramento and the Mavericks defeat New Orleans.

Dallas, though, would finish third if they lose to the Hornets, the Lakers win and Oklahoma City loses to Milwaukee.

The Blazers could also face the Northwest Division champion Thunder if Oklahoma City wins and Dallas loses.

Portland has dropped five its last seven on the road, and is 18-22 away from home this season.

While the Blazers prepare for the postseason, the Warriors conclude their fourth straight season without a playoff berth.

The play of Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry has given the franchise plenty of promise heading into 2011-12, but the two starting guards may miss Wednesday's finale.

Ellis, who leads the league in minutes per game (40.4) and is averaging 24.1 points, 5.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds, suffered a concussion in Sunday's 104-103 loss to Sacramento. Without the sixth-year guard, Golden State closed out its road schedule Monday with a 134-111 loss to Denver.

"Well, you miss your go-to guy," coach Keith Smart said of Ellis, who's listed as day-to-day.

Curry, scoring a career-best 18.6 points per game with 5.8 assists, sprained his right ankle in the fourth quarter and is questionable.

If the team's top two scorers are out, Dorell Wright could have even more chances to impress in the final game of his breakout season. The seventh-year swingman, acquired from Miami last summer, needs 10 points Wednesday to finish with more this season than in his first six combined (1,333).

Wright is averaging 10.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in three games against Portland this season. He scored five of his 16 in the fourth quarter and grabbed eight boards in the teams' only meeting in Oakland this season - a 109-102 Warriors victory on Christmas Day.

Golden State is trying to win the season series from Portland for the fourth time in six years.

Warriors close out Smart's first season with win

Posted Apr 14 2011 2:03AM

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) LaMarcus Aldridge and the Portland Trail Blazers are headed to Dallas for the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Texas native isn't sure whether to celebrate or not.

On one hand, Aldridge is going home to where he was born and attended college. On the other, the Trail Blazers will face a Mavericks team that finished with 57 wins, tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for second-most in the Western Conference.

"It means the family, my mom, can come to the game," said Aldridge, who didn't play in Portland's 110-86 loss to the Golden State Warriors in the regular-season finale Wednesday night. "It means a lot sentimental-wise. But it's not like, 'Oh thank you, we've got Dallas.' It's going to be a tough task."

The Blazers secured the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference on Tuesday night with a victory over Memphis. That gave coach Nate McMillan a chance to rest Aldridge and fellow starters Marcus Camby, Nicholas Batum and Gerald Wallace before opening the postseason at Dallas.

Earl Barron, signed as a free agent Tuesday, started at center in Portland's makeshift lineup that also included reserves Rudy Fernandez and Chris Johnson.

The outcome wasn't all that surprising for a Portland team with nothing on the line.

"We were able to sit some guys out that have injuries or soreness," McMillan said. "Now we can get prepared for who we are going to face this weekend. The important thing tonight was for (the reserves) to go out and play hard and get some time out on the floor."

With the bench logging most of the minutes, the Blazers fell behind early and couldn't recover.

Afterward, Aldridge joined his teammates in the locker room to watch the final minutes of the Lakers' overtime win against Sacramento. A Los Angeles loss would have sent Portland to Southern California to open the playoffs instead of to Dallas.

The Blazers and Mavs split their season series 2-2 this year.

"It's going to be tough," Aldridge said. "They've been to the Finals before, a few years back, but they have a really, really good team. They were one of the hottest teams in the NBA this year so it's going to be a really tough task to go in there and beat them."

Reggie Williams scored 28 points and Stephen Curry had 18 points and nine assists for Golden State in what could be first-year coach Keith Smart's final game.

Smart, who replaced Don Nelson before the season, led Golden State to a 36-46 record. That was a 10-game turnaround from 2010 but the team still missed the playoffs for the 16th time in 17 seasons and Smart's future is uncertain under new owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber.

"This is my home, so I'm here no matter what," Smart said. "My family already told me I can go anywhere I want but they're staying. My focus is on the team, moving forward with the idea that I'm directing this team. That's how I'm going to play it out."

Dorell Wright had 20 points to cap a breakout season for the veteran forward and David Lee added 13 points for the Warriors.

Even without leading scorer Monta Ellis, who sat out his second consecutive game with a Grade 2 concussion, the Warriors had it easy while winning their third straight against Portland this season.

Golden State even made a little history along the way.

Wright, who signed a three-year deal with the Warriors last July after five years with Miami, finished the season with 1,344 points, 10 more than the total he had in his previous six seasons combined. In doing so, Wright - the league's leading 3-point shooter going into the night - became the first player in NBA history to accomplish that feat according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

"It's been great," Wright said. "All the records are pretty sweet but you know my teammates, if it wasn't for those guys, I wouldn't be in the position I'm in now."

Patty Mills had a career-high 23 points and Wesley Matthews added 18 points for Portland.

The Warriors jumped out to a 12-point lead in the first quarter, led by as much as 24 in the second half then held on to snap Portland's three-game winning streak.

The Blazers lost for just the third time in their last nine games, a stretch that included victories over playoff-bound San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Dallas and the Lakers.

Luke Babbitt had a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds for Portland, which shot just 33.7 percent from the floor and committed 21 turnovers.

NOTES: The game was a sellout, Golden State's 13th of the season. ... Curry set a franchise record for free throw percentage (92.6), breaking Hall of Famer Rick Barry's mark of 92.4 percent set in 1977-78. ... Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson and former safety Eddie Anderson sat courtside. ... Ellis dressed for the game and sat on the bench in the first half but did not come out after halftime.

Trail Blazers-Warriors

By Geoff Lepper, for NBA.com
Posted Thursday April 14, 2011 1:53AM

THE FACTS: Reggie Williams, starting for the injured Monta Ellis, scored 28 points with seven rebounds and five assists as the Golden State Warriors finished off their 2010-11 season with a 110-86 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. With the win, Golden State finished at 36-46, representing a 10-win improvement over last season, although the Warriors fell short of new owner Joe Lacob's goal of sneaking into the playoffs. Wesley Matthews scored 18 points to lead the Blazers (48-34), who weren't overly concerned with the outcome. Portland, which was locked into the No. 6 seed for the Western Conference playoffs before the game began, rested several key players in anticipation of a first-round matchup against Dallas.

QUOTABLE: "I think it's a good matchup for us. We split the series this year at 2-2, and we lost two close games in their place."
-- Trail Blazers sixth man Nicolas Batum, on the upcoming series against the Mavericks.

THE STAT: 31. Total number of minutes played by Portland's typical starting five. Andre Miller (7 minutes) and Wesley Matthews (24) started but played limited roles, while forwards Gerald Wallace and LaMarcus Aldridge and center Marcus Camby all sat this one out.

TURNING POINT: The Warriors began the second half with a 13-3 run that was sparked by four points each from Williams and David Lee to open a 64-48 lead.

QUOTABLE II: "YESSSSSSSS!"
-- Portland guard Rudy Fernandez, when Kobe Bryant hit a long 2-pointer in overtime to put the Lakers up by five points against Sacramento. Had Los Angeles lost, Portland would have faced the Lakers instead of the Mavericks.

HOT: Williams, who twice led the NCAA in scoring at Virginia Military Institute, showed he hadn't completely lost his touch, uncorking only his second 20-point game since Dec. 21. Williams went 12-for-18, 4-for-8 from deep, in place of Ellis, who missed the game due to his grade 2 concussion suffered Sunday.

NOT: Blazers coach Nate McMillan called this game a good chance to see what Chris Johnson and Earl Barron -- two big men signed within the last month -- could give his team if they're needed during the playoffs. The results were none too impressive. Johnson grabbed 13 rebounds and Barron had 13, but they were each dreadful offensively. Johnson went 1-for-8 from the floor and Barron 2-for-10 for a combined 16.7 percent.

ROOKIE WATCH: Portland's Luke Babbitt, who had received just 104 minutes of playing time coming into Wednesday, scored 11 points with 11 rebounds in 33 minutes -- all numbers being career-highs.

ROOKIE WATCH II: Golden State's Jeremy Lin finished strong with 12 points, five rebounds and five assists.

NOTABLE: With his free throw 19 seconds into the third quarter, Dorell Wright became the first player in NBA history to score more points in his seventh season than in his first six combined, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Wright had 20 points on the evening to finish with 1,344. He scored 1,333 points in his first half-dozen years coming out of Leuzinger High School in Lawndale, Calif. ... According to multiple reports from Bay Area and national outlets, the Warriors were set Wednesday to hire well-known agent Bob Myers -- who represents Portland's Brandon Roy and the Warriors' Dorell Wright, among others -- as an assistant general manager. Myers, who played collegiately at UCLA and has been a key player at Arn Tellem's WMG Management shop, could be groomed by new owner Joe Lacob to take over for incumbent GM Larry Riley, a holdover from the Warriors' Chris Cohan era. ... With Aldridge (3,211 minutes) resting, Ellis (3,227) finished the season with the most minutes of any NBA player. ... With the win, the Warriors guaranteed themselves No. 11 position in the 2011 NBA Draft. Had they lost, a coin flip would have been needed between Golden State and Milwaukee.

UP NEXT: For the Trail Blazers, Game 1 against the Mavericks in Dallas on Saturday. The Warriors season is finished.
