Warriors-Trail Blazers Preview

The Portland Trail Blazers hope their next game will be the last time they'll have to play without star Brandon Roy this season.

Looking to secure the sixth seed for the Western Conference playoffs, the Trail Blazers try to conclude the regular season with a third straight victory Wednesday night against the visiting Golden State Warriors.

Portland (50-31) and San Antonio have the same record, but the Trail Blazers hold the tiebreaker between the teams and will retain the No. 6 seed with a win in this contest. However, if San Antonio wins at Dallas on Wednesday and Portland loses, the Blazers will drop to seventh.

Facing Golden State (25-56) could give the Trail Blazers a good chance to earn the best possible postseason scenario. Portland is 2-1 against the Warriors this season and won four in a row at home in the series.

Roy's averaged 39.0 points on 68.4 percent shooting in the last two games versus Golden State, but he will miss his second straight contest after suffering a torn meniscus in his knee against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. Averaging a team-leading 21.5 points, Roy said he wants to try and play during the postseason and is expected to be re-evaluated Friday.

Portland's already lost forwards Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla to season-ending knee injuries. A total of 13 Blazers have missed a combined 307 games.

"It's been a bad year for injuries with our group,'' coach Nate McMillan said. "It's just something we've had to deal with all year long. So we know what the situation is. We'll rest him this week and see if he can go, see if he can do something.''

After beating the Lakers and posting a 103-95 win over Oklahoma City on Monday, Roy is confident his teammates can continue to come through.

"When guys go down, guys step up." Roy told the Trail Blazers' official Web site. "So I can only believe that these guys are ready to go out there and play even better when the playoffs come."

Marcus Camby could be one of those players who continues to step up after recording 30 points and 13 rebounds Monday as Portland secured consecutive 50-win seasons for the first time since 1999-2000 and 2000-01. Andre Miller added 22 points for the Trail Blazers, who've won 18 of 23.

Miller had 23 points in Portland's 105-89 home win over Golden State on Jan. 2.

Though Golden State will miss the playoffs for a third straight season, it's won four of seven despite losing 103-94 to Utah in its home finale Tuesday.

"It's bad, yeah it's disappointing but we've got (Wednesday's) game to make it up and try to get a win," said guard Monta Ellis, who's averaging 27.0 points versus the Trail Blazers this season.

Coach Don Nelson, who became the NBA's all-time leader in wins last week, plans to return next season to fulfill the final year of his contract.

Stephen Curry is one of the young players Nelson will rely on next season. The rookie of the year candidate had 17 points against Utah, and is averaging 25.7 in his last six contests.

Warriors end wacky season with short-handed win in Portland

By Kerry Eggers, for NBA.com

PORTLAND (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Portland Trail Blazers know they're in the playoffs, facing the Phoenix Suns in a first-round matchup that begins Sunday at US Airways Center.

Their season over, the Golden State Warriors depart for points unknown coming off the strangest of NBA victories.

Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis combined for 76 points as the Warriors won the regular-season finale for both teams 122-116 Wednesday night at the Rose Garden.

Golden State (26-56) won despite suiting only six healthy players for the game. Coach Don Nelson used four players -- Curry, Ellis, Reggie Williams and Anthony Tolliver -- the full 48 minutes. In the closing minutes Warrior forward Devean George fouled out and starting center Chris Hunter ? who played only the first five minutes ? had wrenched his knee.

The Warriors wound up taking a technical foul to re-insert George, then outscored the Blazers 14-6 down the stretch to win.

"The guys said they wanted the videotape of the game," said Golden State's Don Nelson, the winningest coach in NBA history. "They said it was the greatest game they've ever played in, to do something like that.

"And you know what? They might be right."

That didn't matter a whole lot to the Blazers (50-32) or their coach, Nate McMillan, who have larger matters of concern.

"Old-school coaches, man," McMillan said with a chuckle. "When you've won as many games as coach Nelson has won, you can pretty much do whatever you want."

Minutes before Wednesday's game, McMillan learned that Dallas had defeated San Antonio and that Phoenix would be Portland's first-round opponent. With Brandon Roy (knee) and LaMarcus Aldridge (flu), already ruled out, McMillan held out center Marcus Camby and used Andre Miller for only the first nine minutes, extending the veteran point guard's NBA-best current consecutive game streak at 612.

"When I found out we had that spot, I was going to sit our guys and not risk any of the main guys getting an injury," McMillan said.

If there's a question as to whether Ellis and Curry can play together in the Golden State backcourt, it didn't look that way Wednesday night. Ellis bombed in 34 points, sinking 14-of-24 from the field and 4-of-8 from 3-point range.

Curry was even better. The 6-3 rookie tallied a season-high 42 points on 13-of-25 shooting, including 4-of-6 from 3-point range. The ex-Davidson standout was also 12-for-12 from the line and had nine rebounds and eight assists.

"If Stephen isn't the Rookie of the Year, there's something wrong," Nelson said. "What a performance."

The Blazers are looking ahead to the matchup with Phoenix, a team they've beaten twice in three regular-season meetings.

"We have a chance," McMillan said. The Suns "are a very good team. We've had success against them, but they were one of, if not the hottest team in the league the last part of the season."

The Suns run. The Blazers do not.

"We know what they're capable of doing and the style of basketball they want to play," McMillan said. "It's going to be a battle of tempos. They want to run and gun and attack."

"We'll mix it up," Miller said. "We have to know when to run and know when to slow things down. We'll have to pick and choose."

The focus of Portland's attention will be point guard Steve Nash and power forward Amar'e Stoudemire.

"Nash is arguably one of the MVP candidates this year, and Amare is playing great basketball," McMillan said.

"We match up well with them," Miller said. "It'll come down to controlling that little fellow (Nash). He'll be a Hall of Famer, I know that."

What will Miller try to do against Nash?

"You just want to keep him in front of you, force him to take tough shots, try to keep him out of the lane," Miller said. "A lot of things he gets, he brings the defense to him and drops it off to Stoudemire for dunks.

"We'll be all right. He's going to have to worry about playing defense, too. That'll be a back-and-forth thing."

Phoenix will go in as the favorite, especially with Roy questionable due to the torn meniscus in his right knee.

"A lot of people are writing us off," McMillan said. "A lot of that is due to people not knowing whether Brandon is going to play, so they're not giving us a chance. We've been faced with that all season long, so here we go again.

"We're going to need to be ready. We've been playing good basketball. Our focus now is to get our guys back and get as healthy as possible. We have a shot. If we play our style of basketball and we're playing good on both ends of the floor, we have a chance to win."

"We're making no excuses," Camby said. "We're coming in confident. We want to win, just like they want to win. It's going to be about which teams executes its stuff the best."
