Lookie here. After 10 consecutive losses to teams that entered the game with a winning percentage of .600 or better, Portland uncorked surprising weekend wins over Chicago (road) and Memphis (home) and, more importantly, is 3-0 since getting LaMarcus Aldridge back in the lineup.

Golden State currently owns a playoff tiebreaker over the Trail Blazers with a 2-1 series lead. Portland hosts the Warriors on April 13.
不。11 (Last week: 12):Matt Dollinger, SI.com
With LaMarcus Aldridge back in the lineup, the Blazers stopped the bleeding with three consecutive victories over playoff teams (are we still counting Atlanta?). Most impressive was Sunday's win over the Grizzlies, who beat Portland by double digits in their two previous meetings.

Lamarcus Aldridge在他的前两场比赛中拍摄了11英镑,周日另一个可怕的堕落,但他的跳线正在落在灰熊队的巨大胜利中。这是自1月18日以来西方九个中的其他队伍中的一个其他球队的第一次胜利(他们已经失去了12次)。他们是唯一用背靠背完成的团队,他们唯一的道路游戏留给了湖人和爵士乐。
不。11 (Last week: 18):Matt Moore, CBSSports.com
It's like they spent six weeks trying to figure out why the car was making that weird noise, only to flip a switch to make the car run fine again. The switch is named "LaMarcus Aldridge."
不。7 (Last week: 13):Kurt Helin, ProBasketballTalk
LaMarcus Aldridge returns and the Blazers win three in a row, including beating the Bulls and Grizzlies - beating Memphis was the first time in 13 tries the Trail Blazers beat another team from the West's top nine. The Blazers are not going to catch Houston for the four seed (four games in the loss column too much to make up) but playing back to form them become a tough first round matchup.
不。6 (Last week: 14):杰森型,某人的国家
The Blazers make a huge jump this week thanks to the return of LaMarcus Aldridge and the subsequent three-game winning streak, including an impressive win over the Grizzlies.
