http://0rz.tw/bb4cl By Steve Buckley 控制一下自己！塞尔提克球迷们。 Oh, if only the Celtics had won Game 4 out in Deee-troit. 如果赛尔提克可以拿下第四场就好了～ We wouldn’t have had all that rain yesterday. The afternoon commute would have been a breeze. Gas prices would have gone down. Optimism about the Celtics would have gone up. 这样我们就不用面对这二天愁云惨雾的气氛，下午的通勤时间会有一阵凉风吹来 ，油价也会下降，波士顿球迷的信心则会像火箭一样上升。 But the Celtics lost Monday night, which means you couldn’t turn in any direction yesterday without someone expressing “frustration” with this team. You’d hear that the cleverly marketed Big Three is really Two-and-a-Half Men (naturally, that’s a shot at Ray Allen), that Rajon Rondo is a Not Ready for Primetime Player and, a favorite, that coach Doc Rivers is not a Very Smart Person. 但现实面是赛尔提克输掉了星期一晚上的比赛，球迷们无可抑制的发泄出他们的 挫折感，你可以听到对三巨头不满的抗议（现在只剩二头半了），还有对年轻控 卫rondo的不信任，最後一点，也可能是最让人质疑的一点，教练Doc Rivers的 脑袋可能不大聪明。 A note on Doc: After crunching the numbers, it has been determined that there have been 10 games this postseason in which he has proved himself to be a Very Smart Person, and eight games in which the evidence clearly shows he was not a Very Smart Person. Coincidentally, the Celtics are 10-8. 注：从季後赛里的数据来推测Doc的智商，有10场表现出他是非常聪明的人，但是 另外8场又证明他的智商不高，巧合的是，赛尔提克的胜败场刚好也是10-8。 The point? People need to get a grip. To be more precise, people who did not follow the Celtics in the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s need to get a grip. It used to be that Celtics fans understood the ebb and flow of a postseason, that playing the same team seven times in two weeks is not the same as playing a team in November and then saying, “Have a Merry Christmas,” as you exit the arena. 重点是？赛尔提克球迷需要控制一下自己的情绪，讲的更清楚些，那些没有从50、 60、70、80年代一路跟随赛尔提克的球迷需要控制自己，过去的球迷了解季後赛 的起落，而二周内和同一只队伍打七场比赛的强度和季赛11月互祝圣诞节快乐的 比赛根本不能相提并论。 Had the Celtics gone into The Palace of Auburn Hills and lost Saturday night’s Game 3 and then emerged with a spirited victory in Game 4, everyone around here would be delirious. That the Celtics did it the other way around, and that many of our fellow citizens are concerned about this, boggles the mind. Either way, it comes down to this: The Celtics host the Pistons tonight at the Garden in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, with each team having won two games. And this is exactly what we all expected. Yes? No? Hello? 如果赛尔提克输了第三场却赢了第四场比赛那麽波士顿就会有一群狂喜的球迷 （译者按：你想的太天真了，只会被干谯的更凶而已），但是结果刚好相反， 所以波士顿的居民现在都忧心忡忡，难以置信。不管怎样，我们现在面对的是 主场对活第五场东区冠军赛，双方目前二比二平手，难道这些不是我们预期中 的吗？来，五楼你说看看～ The only thing we have learned so far is that the vaunted homecourt advantage has been proved not to be a lock - leastways, not in this series. The Pistons won Game 2 at the Garden, the Celtics won Game 3 at The Palace. That made Celtics captain Paul Pierce spot-on accurate following yesterday afternoon’s practice session when he said, “We can’t assume (Game 5) is going to be an automatic win just because we’re at home. Detroit beat us on our homecourt.” 我们现在要注意的是不能过度倚赖主场优势，因为这一轮活塞曾拿下第二场的 胜利，幸好赛尔提克在客场成功反击，而队长PP昨天在练习後对媒体发表了以 下的言论，”我们不能因为有主场优势就自动认定可以赢得比赛，因为活塞在 主场击败过我们。” But then Pierce made a comment about tonight’s Game 5. 然後PP对第五战下了声明。 “This is definitely a must-win,” he said. “Right now Detroit has the momentum and the team that gets the win is the team that gets the momentum. So we have to find some way somehow to get a win at home and bring that momentum back to Detroit. Definitely our backs are against the wall. We’ve got to get this win.” ”这是一场一定要拿下的比赛，我们已经无路可退了，现在气势在活塞那里， 我们必须想办法拿下主场让气势回到我们这边再踏上客场，现在只能赢不能输。” Must-win? Backs against the wall? Well, no, not technically speaking. A must win is when the alternative is that your season is over. But in the real world - that is, the real NBA world - it’s OK to call Game 5 a must-win for the Celtics. And, sure, it’s OK to truck out that old line about their backs being against the wall. Pierce knows, as we all do, that going into a Game 6 at The Palace, facing elimination, would make the Celtics huge underdogs because: a.) history has taught us that teams that win Game 5 usually go on to win the series; b.) we simply don't have a file on what these Celtics can do when they trail in a series. 一定要赢？无路可退？严格来讲不那麽正确，无路可退是当你面临被淘汰的边缘， 不过在季後赛的世界里形容第五场比赛无路可退其实也无可厚非，虽然我们都知道 还会有第六场在奥本山宫殿之战，到时才会是真正生死存亡的关键，不过历史告诉 我们拿下第五场的球队通常可以赢得系列战，而且我们也不知道当赛尔提克落後时 表现如何。 So, sure, you want to make a big deal out of Game 5? You go right ahead. But if Game 4 has you concerned that there won’t be a banner No. 17 this year and that someone won’t be lighting up a cigar in Red’s memory . . . please stop. This thing is tied 2-2. You got what you wanted. Enjoy. 所以，如果你要把第五战当成最重要的一战，没有问题，只是如果因为我们第四场 的输球让你相信我们今年无法拿下第十七面锦标，无法安慰红头在天上之灵．．． 请停止，现在还是二比二平手，这是我们预料中的，不是吗？ －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 自从Herald的专栏作家Tony Massarotti（又是他）说Boston的球迷是Yahoo fans （赢球就喝采，输球就狂嘘的球迷），被读者围攻之後，外电的火力就下降了，想 找个战力充足的鞭豆文都没有，只好找个鞭球迷的外电来翻...（不要鞭我XDDD) 当然啦，考虑到球迷的心情，输球我们可以怪Doc脑残，怪rondo为什麽不是cp3， 怪三巨头关键时刻手软，但是我们也要问自己一句... Are we Yahoo fans？we can only love our team when winning？ 输球很难过，季赛一条龙的表现反而让人更难接受，总版里文章的pH值低到破表， 不过就算要打满28场比赛才拿下冠军我也一点都不会脸红～～我这个人相信越被 唱衰反弹越高XDDD（把软豆鞭到成硬豆为止～） 责备的话很多，但球队现在需要你的支持，让为我们为心爱的球员加油吧：） --
