Update: The Blazers (27-24) are trying to hang on to the eighth playoff spot in the West, despite losing Brandon Roy, Marcus Camby and Greg Oden to knee injuries. Former Bulls draft pick LaMarcus Aldridge (21.2 points, 9.1 rebounds) would have been an all-star if he played in the East. SF Wesley Matthews is the second leading active scorer at 16.5 ppg. The Bulls beat the Blazers 110-98 on Nov. 1 at the United Center behind 40 points from Luol Deng. They’ve dropped three straight in Portland.
