Although the Trail Blazers are a sixth seed, they’ve been on the rise the past few seasons. The addition of Gerald Wallace at the trade deadline has really sped things up.
Portland is 11-5 since mid-March, with a pair of wins over both San Antonio and Dallas, plus single wins over the Lakers and Oklahoma City.
“I think we do a great job with the guys we have in versatility, you know, guys being able to guard different positions,” Wallace said. “So instead of up trying to match up with other teams, we put pressure on them to try to match up with us.”
Aldridge is the toughest matchup.
The 6-foot-11 power forward averaged 21.8 points and 8.8 rebounds this season, both career bests.
“When he gets to the middle and he gets to his sweet spot, he’s almost unstoppable,” said Mavs center Tyson Chandler, who will have to cover Aldridge. “We’ve got to make it tough for him, keep him away from easy baskets, force him to roll out, get him to some uncomfortable spots and get him missing some baskets so we can fast break.”

Generous subsidies have made the country the world’s biggest market for solar-power installations. It may have sucked up half of global production in 2010. Almost a quarter of patents awarded in 2007 for renewable-energy technologies went to German firms.
