There was a buzz after the Trail Blazers beat the Mavericks surrounding the possibility that the two teams could reunite in the first round of the playoffs.
So the 104-96 result Sunday night, while it was a needed victory for Portland, shouldn't be given too much weight, reasoned Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge.
"The playoffs are a whole different level. It's a whole different monster," he explained. "We can't think that just because we beat them that it's going to be easy."
Both teams were waiting for the playoff pairings to shake out with five games remaining. Dallas sits at third in the Western Conference, while the Blazers are in sixth, a game up on Memphis and New Orleans.
The Magic Number is now done to number 1.
Come on BLAZERS!!
