The other three include a Detroit team trying to fight its way into a playoff spot in the East, a trip to New Orleans (remember Boston hasn't won on the road against the West), and a visit from the Knicks. 在波士顿接下来的16场比赛中，有13场将对阵季後赛队伍，而剩余的三场分别是仍在奋战 的活塞队、作客纽澳良以及尼克的比赛。 The question over Boston's final 24 games becomes, where will the team finish among the lottery-bound teams? There's a cluster of five squads -- Celtics, Lakers, Jazz, Knicks, and Kings -- all within 2 ½ games of each other. Boston was ahead of two of those teams (Lakers, Kings) coming out of the All-Star break, but head-to-head losses saw the Celtics drop a couple spots on the ladder. 在最後的24场比赛後，球队将落在乐透区的哪个位置呢？这里有个五人小组──赛尔提克 、湖人、爵士、尼克以及国王──全都在2.5场胜差内，而在明星赛後，C's取得了领先。 It seems unlikely that anyone is catching Milwaukee or Philadelphia. The Bucks (11-45) own a 3 ½ game cushion over the 76ers (15-42), even after Milwaukee posted a 130-110 win over Philadelphia, which has now lost 11 straight after stripping its roster at the trade deadline. It's almost certainly a two-team race for the most ping-pong balls. 看起来已经没有队伍能追上公鹿以及七六人，前者以3.5场胜差领先後者，但今天却以20分 之差败下阵来，看来联盟霸主已是这两队间的龙虎之争。 But Boston is now within two games of Orlando, the team with the third-worst record in basketball. Two of the Magic's next four games come against the 76ers, which could force the Magic to climb up a bit. Of Orlando's 24 remaining games, only 15 are against current playoff teams. 但波士顿现在只离奥兰多两场胜差，而後者将在接下来四场比赛中两次对上七六人，看来 将被迫提升战绩，且奥兰多剩余的24场比赛中仅有15场将对阵季後赛球队。 What's the difference between the third- and fourth-worst record in the league? About a 4 percent chance of landing the top pick and a little less than 10 percent chance of landing a top 3 spot. In a draft that many believe is loaded up top, there's a great motivation to land in the the top 3. 联盟第三与联盟第四的差别在哪呢？与状元签大约是4%的差距，而与前三顺位则是少於10% 的分别，在一个众所期待的选秀大年，绝对让人有强烈的动机去挤进前三。 The Celtics do not fear winning, as that little burst of victories at the start of the month confirmed. Stevens and the front office see a great value in young players learning how to win together, believing it can help in future seasons. C's并不惧怕赢球，在季初的小小连胜中，Stevens以及制服组已在年轻球员身上看到了 学习赢球的巨大价值，并相信其对未来有所帮助。 But, if we're being honest, losing isn't the worst thing for a transitioning team either. The Celtics want to get healthy, they want to play more consistent basketball (particularly on the defensive end). But, fair or not, the focus over the final two months of the season will also be the jockeying at the bottom of the league standings. 但老实说，输球并不是重建中球队最糟糕的事，C's想要有着更加健康、更加强悍的赛季 ﹝尤其是在防守端﹞；无论公平与否，最後两个月的观战重点将是联盟底部的战绩排名。 心得：不管输赢，不要真的摆烂打球就好，那些是制服组要去烦恼的事情。 幸好现在比赛至少还能看到希望。不会像季初一直大比分败下阵来，不错。 --
