Owner Real Deal Posted April 14, 2011 Author Owner Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 OAKLAND, Calif. -- 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 victories, 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 against 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.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20110413_POR@GS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
