Yahoo! Sports Rank Central Division
1. Indiana Pacers
Best-case scenario: Jermaine O'Neal takes the control of the team and becomes
the undisputed leader. Ron Artest is so happy to be playing basketball again
that he is the model citizen and wins the Defensive Player of the Year.
Sarunas Jasikevicius is the second coming of Scott Skiles, giving Indiana
toughness, shooting and solid point guard play. The Pacers wear teams down
with depth and defense and storm to the Central Division title.
Worst-case scenario: O'Neal, Artest and Stephen Jackson fight over shots
and Jasikavicius and Jamal Tinsley can't coexist at the point. The Pacers fall
down the playoff ladder into the seventh or eighth spot.
Outlook: This team is so good defensively and so well-coached that it's tough
to not see them as one of the best clubs in the NBA. Barring injury - or a
brawl that leads to season-ending suspensions for the entire roster - the
Pacers will win the division.
我個人十分看好Pacers拿下中央區冠軍,他們陣容實在太完整了
有攻有守,有外有內,團隊氣氛也滿好的
最壞的結果也太悲觀了吧!沒可能這麼糟吧!!(除非奧本山事件再度......)
2. Detroit Pistons
Best-case scenario: The coaching transition gose smoothly and the Pistons
players not only pick up Flip Saunders' offense quickly, but they maintain
their defensive identity and remain the kings of the Central.
Worst-case scenario: Detroit falls in love with Saunders' creative offense
but forgets that their bread is buttered at the other end of the floor.
They lose their edge and they can't quite score enough to be a great team.
The Pistons drop out of the running to win the division.
Outlook: The Pistons are as tough as any team in the NBA. Saunders is a very
good coach, and he knows what makes this team who the are. Detroit may take a
while to adjust to its new leader, but by the end of the season, they'll be
right up there fighting for the division title.
我只要班蛙還在,他們就不會忘了他們的防守
我倒是想看看 Saunders對活塞的進攻會帶來什麼影響
小米利能否破繭而出我想也是活塞想在堅強的中央組衛冕的關鍵
3. Cleveland Cavaliers
Best-case scenario: LeBron James wins the MVP, the Cavaliers play great
defense under Mike Brown and they shoot the ball well enough from the
perimeter to make people pay for trying to send help towards James. Cleveland
blasts through the wall and surpasses Indiana and Detroit to win the Central.
最好的情況: LeBron James成為MVP,騎士在Mike Brown的指導下打出非常出色的防守,
而且外圍的投射也相當出色,讓對方在對James進行幫忙防守時付出代價,騎士隊超越
Indiana和Detroit贏得中央組冠軍
Worst-case scenario: LeBron's teammates don't shoot well, Zydrunas Ilgauskas
hurts his foot again and the Cavaliers neglect to play the defense that Mike
Brown is trying to teach them. They slip down to the bottom of the East's
playoff picture.
最差的情況: LeBron的隊友不支援外圍火力,大Z的腳再度受傷,忽略Mike Brown一直想教
他們的防守,結果季後賽順位滑落到後面
Outlook: James is on the verge of winning the MVP. He has much more help
around him this year with Larry Hughes, Donyell Marshall and Damon Jones. The
Cavaliers will make a major jump and become one of the East's elite teams.
展望: James與贏得MVP僅有一步之遙,他今年因為 Larry Hughes, Donyell Marshall和
Damon Jones的加入而得到許多幫助,騎士將會大躍進,並成為東區幾支傑出的球隊之一
4. Chicago Bulls
Best-case scenario: The Bulls continue to scrap and claw, Tyson Chandler
developes an offensive game on block and Chicago follows up its fell-good
season from a year ago with another solid year to return to the playoffs.
Worst-case scenario: The team forgets that it won last season with effort.
They don't defend quite as hard, and Eddy Curry's departure leaves them
without any offense down low. The Bulls lose their edge and fall out of the
playoff picture altogether.
Outlook: Scott Skiles won't allow his team's effort to drop. The Bulls will
compete as hard as they did last season, but the lack of inside scoring will
hurt them. They won't compete for the division title, but they should sneak
into the playoffs.
5. Milwaukee Bucks
Best-case scenario: T.J. Ford returns at full speed, Andrew Bogut becomes the
best passing center in the league and Michael Redd and Bobby Simmons form one
of the top wing duos in the league. The Bucks surprise everyone and Terry
Stotts leads them to the playoffs.
Worst-case scenario: Ford isn't healthy, Bogut isn't ready and Redd and
Simmons are forced into difficult shots night after night. Milwaukee struggles
to find an identity and they falter, missing the playoffs for the second
straight season.
Outlook: The Bucks will be better, because their personnel has been upgraded
considerably. Bogut's progression will take some time, as will Ford's recovery
from his spinal injury. Redd and Simmons will be a lethal wing combination,
and Milwaukee will be a surprise team, remaining in the playoff hunt until
late in the season.
