So where else could we put them? Boston's last 60-win team was its last title team in 1985-86. 塞爾提克以進入季後賽來結束本季例行賽，他們是公認最想擊敗的隊伍，所以我們還能把他們放哪？波士頓前一次拿到六十勝已經是1985-86球季，那年也拿下冠軍。 No.2(4) Los Angeles Lakers 56-25 Let the record show that the committee's MVP vote for Kobe was posted online before L.A.'s weekend victories over the Hornets and Spurs. One more win now should clinch Kobe's MVP trophy and the West's top seed. 我們在湖人隊這個週末擊敗黃蜂跟馬刺之前，就把MVP投給了Kobe，他們的紀錄證明了一切。再一勝就能確保湖人拿下西區第一種子以及Kobe的MVP。 No.3(3) Detroit Pistons 57-23 The team that lives to be dissed enters the playoffs generating zero hoopla. Now let's see if the Pistons can use that as a spark and become the first club to go to six straight conference finals since the 1982-89 Lakers. 生來就會被輕視的活塞，連進入季後賽都沒激起半點漣漪。現在看看他們能不能以此激勵士氣，並成為自1982-89年的湖人之後，第一之連續六年打進分區冠軍賽的球隊。 No.4(6) Utah Jazz 53-27 People tend forget what a difference that Korver trade made. Utah's new sharpshooter hasn't started a single game, but check the Jazz out since the deal: 11-10 on the road and 26-2 when Korver scores at least 10 points. 人們都試著忘記在Korver交易後的爵士有多不同。猶他新得到的準男帥哥甚至都還沒先發過，但看看他們交易過後的戰績：客場11勝10敗，以及當Korver得到至少10分時， 26勝2敗。 No.5(2) New Orleans Hornets 55-25 It's still a season for the ages for Paul even if he isn't the MVP or the Hornets fall short of No. 1 in the West. Because of CP3, Nash is the first PG since Magic in 1990-91 to average 11 assists and not lead the league. 就算他沒有拿到MVP或黃蜂沒能搶下西區第一，本季都是Paul的天下。因為3號的Chris Paul，讓Steve Nash成為自90-91年Magic Johnson之後，第一位平均11次助攻也拿不到聯盟第一的球員。 No.6(8) Houston Rockets 54-26 Anyone else out there notice that the Yao-less team that every other club in the West wants to face in the first round of the playoffs can still finish seeded No. 1 if everything goes Houston's way? We're just saying ... 有沒有人注意到？就算這支少了姚明的球隊，是每一隻西區球隊都想在第一輪碰到的，如果順利的話，他們還是有可能拿下西區第一種子喔！我們只是說說而已... No.7(7) Phoenix Suns 53-27 For all the progress they've made since that 3-6 start with Shaq -- with a 13-5 recovery since -- it's looking as though the Suns will be the West's No. 6 seed. Only three teams have ever reached the Finals from No. 6 or lower. 就算他們在三月六號Shaq先發後做了多少努力，之後也有13勝5敗，太陽看來還是會在西區以第六種子坐收。史上只有三支第六或更低種子的球隊能打到總冠軍賽。 No.8(5) San Antonio Spurs 54-26 The champs are the first team to post nine straight 50-win seasons since the Lakers from '79-80 through '90-91. But they won't repeat this time, either, if Manu's groin doesn't rally. They can barely score without him. 自從湖人從79-80球季到90-91球季之後，去年冠軍隊是第一隊連續九年都拿到五十勝。但他們這次可能很難再繼續了，如果Manu的鼠蹊不能復原，少了他，馬刺連得分都很難。 No.9(13) Denver Nuggets 49-32 The Nuggets need to beat Memphis on Wednesday to clinch a playoff berth. The Grizzlies have won one game in 17 previous trips to the Pepsi Center. The Warriors will not want to read those last two sentences. 金塊還需要在週三擊敗曼菲斯灰熊才能確定進入季後賽。灰熊過去17次在百事中心打球只贏了一場。勇士可能不想要讀到最後這兩句。 No.10(9) Dallas Mavericks 50-31 Just when they were starting to feel good about things -- Avery says 50 wins this season feels a bit like 60 under normal conditions -- losses at Portland and Seattle could send the Mavs to the playoffs as a (gulp) No. 8 seed. 當他們正開始感到事情在好轉的時候，當Avery說這季的五十勝就好像以前的六十勝的時候，他們連續輸給了波特蘭拓荒者及西雅圖超音速，這可能讓小牛只有（呃）第八種子。 No.11(12) Orlando Magic 50-30 Dwight Howard's dominant fourth season reminds you a little bit of Shaq's fourth season. Except that Shaq's career in Orlando ended after magical season No. 4 ... while Howard is under contract with the Magic through 2012. Dwight Howard主宰性的第四年，讓人想起了Shaq的第四年，除了Shaq離開前奧蘭多前那個，神奇的第四名的球季。但Howard與魔術的合約要直到2012年才結束。 No.12(15) Washiongton Wizards 42-38 It's too late for Arenas to crash the Sixth Man Award race, but those three wins over Boston -- coupled with Gil, Butler and Jamison all finding their health at the right time -- have the Celts pretty freaked. The Cavs, too. 對Arenas來說，想要加入第六人之爭已經太遲了。但是對波士頓的三勝，三劍客即時的回歸，都讓塞爾提克皮皮挫。騎士隊也一樣。 No.13(11) Philadelphia 76ers 40-40 In New York, Isiah Thomas' contract extension doomed the Knicks. In Philly? The Sixers were seven games under .500, at 24-31, when Mo Cheeks got his extension ... and then they became a playoff team again. 在紐約，延長Isiah Thomas的合約註定了尼克的...，那費城呢？季中只有24勝31敗，低於五成勝率七場，當延長了Mo Cheeks的合約後...，他們再次成為一支進入季後賽的隊伍。 No.14(10) Golden State Warriors 48-32 Denver gave Golden State new life with those losses to Sacramento and Seattle, only for the Dubs to give it all back when they couldn't beat the Nuggets at home. So don't blame Golden State's plight all on that 0-6 start. 丹佛輸給了沙迦緬度與西雅圖給了金州勇士新希望，但是這群蠢蛋因為在主場輸給金塊而把它全還回去了。所以別再全怪金州一開季困苦的0勝6敗了。 No.15(16) Cleveland Cavaliers 44-36 The big question here used to be: How can the Cavs beat Boston and Detroit to get back to the Finals? Now: Is LeBron's back sturdy enough to get the Cavs -- just 14-12 since the big trade -- out of the first round? 通常這裡的問題都是：騎士要怎麼擊敗波士頓與底特律去回到總冠軍賽？現在的是：在大交易後只有14勝12敗，LeBron回來能讓騎士打過第一輪嗎？ No.16(17) Sacramento Kings 38-42 We repeat: It happens every season and this season it happened to the Kings. They're the scrappy team out West that gets to hear every day how it would be a playoff team for sure if it could switch to the East. 我們在這裡再說一次：有件事每季都會發生，而這季發生在國王身上。他們在西區只是一支零散的隊伍，但如果他們換到東區一定能進入季後賽。 No.17(19) Portland Traiblazers 40-40 Pretty rosy season when you add it all up, with another lottery pick on the way after Portland countered Oden's surgery with a 13-game win streak and then avoided a losing record as the third-youngest team in history. 整體來說很光明的一季。在Oden動手術，當大家都以為要再抽一次樂透的時候，波特蘭以一次13連勝，來避免拿到史上第三年輕球隊的輸球紀錄。 No.18(14) Atlanta Hawks 37-43 Doesn't matter how low they're finishing here. Doesn't matter that they'd be a game out of 11th in the West. Doesn't matter that they're going to be swept by Boston. For at least the rest of the week, Hawks Pride is soaring. 不論他們在這排名多低，不論他們在西區排不到前11，不論他們本季將要被波士頓橫掃，至少在剩下這週，老鷹都將高飛。 No.19(18) Toronto Raptors 40-40 Colangelo is ''disappointed.'' Bosh is annoyed because people keep asking him if he's ''frustrated.'' Yet somehow slumping Toronto remains in prime position to see Orlando in Round 1, as the Raps have been hoping for. 總管Colangelo很"失望"。Bosh也因為人們一直問他是不是很"沮喪"而被搞得很煩。至少就如期望中，暴龍將在第一輪對上奧蘭多魔術。 No.20(20) Indiana Pacers 35-45 Indy awoke Monday morning with faint mathematical hope of stealing the No. 8 seed from those similarly sub-.500 Hawks. Realistically, though, Saturday's indefensible home defeat to Charlotte ended that dream. 星期一早上，印地安納被他們的對手老鷹告知，他們想要偷進第八名種子的希望已經確定幻滅。事實上，當他們在星期六自家中被夏洛特山貓打敗的時候，這個夢就已經消失了。 No.21(23) Charlotte Bobcats 31-49 Our good friend Sam Smith came up with this one in his final Power Rankings at the Chicago Trib: Now we wait to see if Sam Vincent joins Scott Skiles on the list of Michigan State greats to be axed this season. 我們的好朋友Sam Smith從Chicago Trib上面得到這個消息：現在我們等著看，看Sam Vincent是否會加入Scott Skiles的行列，成為本季密西根州最有可能被砍的名單之一。 No.22(21) New Jersey Nets 33-47 The Nets were the East's last No. 1 seed to make it all the way to the NBA Finals ... in 2002. But what's left of those Nets won't even be able to make that claim any more if the Celts do what they're supposed to do. 籃網曾經以東區第一種子一路殺進NBA總冠軍賽...在2002年。如果塞爾提克做到他們應該做的，籃網再也不能做這種宣稱後，他們還剩下什麼？ No.23(22) Chicago Bulls 31-49 The Bulls didn't turn into a D-League team like Miami, but finishing the season in tank mode to improve their lottery odds was a similarly steep and sinful fall considering that Chicago was a trendy pick to win the East. 公牛沒有樣邁阿密一樣變成一隻發展聯盟的球隊。他們本季的擺爛模式，也很難讓他們能抽樂透。但從從曾經是東區冠軍熱門人選的角度看來，這是個罪惡的墮落。 No.24(29) Milwaukee Bucks 26-54 A 7-4 start and three wins against Cleveland. Those were the lone highlights of a miserable campaign until Bill Simmons' unexpected candidacy and the ultimate hire of John Hammond as GM finally restored some hope. 開季7勝4敗，三場對克里夫蘭的勝利，是這隻悲慘的球隊唯一的可提之處。在Bill Simmons無預警候選以及最終僱用John Hammond作為球隊總管之後，總算有點希望。 No.25(28) New York Knicks 23-57 It might be recorded as the only positive achievement of Isiah's tenure -- and we're seriously testing the bounds of positivity to bill it as such -- but this will not be the first Knicks team ever to lose 60 games. Barely. 這可能是Isiah任期內唯一可以被紀錄下來的光榮成績，但是我們還在認真考慮對於這個紀錄光榮的程度：這不會是尼克史上第一個輸超過60場的球季...只差一點。 No.26(24) Memphis Grizzlies 22-58 Can't tell if the Grizz will ever be forgiven for gift-wrapping Pau to the Lakers. But how they're viewed in their own town would certainly change drastically if they somehow end up with Derrick Rose on draft night. 在送禮般的把Pau送到湖人之後，不知道灰熊有沒有一天會被原諒。但當地對他們的態度可能在選秀夜得到Derrick Rose後轉變。 No.27(27) Seatle Supersonics 19-62 The past two Sundays in Seattle, with wins over Denver and Dallas, were undeniably spectacular. Yet you can't duck the feeling that the Sonics are indeed gone and just said farewell with the club's first 60-loss season. 過去這兩個星期日，擊敗丹佛以及達拉斯實在是太屌了。但你沒辦法閃避超音速將帶著隊史上第一次60敗向人們說再見。 No.28(26) Minnesota Timberwolves 21-59 The Wolves need a 2-0 finish to avoid their first 60-loss season since going 21-61 in 1994-95. Just curious: How many guesses did you need to remember that 1994-95 was the Wolves' last season without KG? 灰狼必須贏下最後兩場，以避免第一次自94-95球季的21勝61敗後，輸60場球。我只是好奇：你要猜多少次才會想起94-95球季是灰狼上一次沒有Kevin Garnett的球季？ No.29(25) Los Angeles Clippers 23-57 It's the last Clips comment of a forgettable season ... so we're using this space to remind the world that last Tuesday was the 30-year anniversary of my beloved Braves' final game in Buffalo before becoming the Clips. 這會是我最後一次對快艇這個希望被遺忘的球季評論...，所以我就只用這個空間來提醒大家，上個禮拜二是我最愛的Braves隊在變成快艇隊之前，最後一場在水牛城的比賽。 No.30(30) Miami Heat 14-66 This won't officially be recorded as the Heat's worst season unless they lose their remaining two games. But good luck trying to convince Pat Riley even if Miami shocks the world with its own scorching 2-0 finish. 除非他們把剩下的兩場都輸掉，否則這不會是熱火最爛的一個球季。就算他們以2-0讓全世界都驚訝也不太可能說服得了Pat Riley。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.70.116.44 ※ 編輯: LoadUp 來自: 203.70.116.44 (04/15 22:55)
