So where else could we put them? Boston's last 60-win team was its last title team in 1985-86. 塞尔提克以进入季後赛来结束本季例行赛，他们是公认最想击败的队伍，所以我们还能把 他们放哪？波士顿前一次拿到六十胜已经是1985-86球季，那年也拿下冠军。 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. 我们在湖人队这个周末击败黄蜂跟马刺之前，就把MVP投给了Kobe，他们的纪录证明了一 切。再一胜就能确保湖人拿下西区第一种子以及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. 生来就会被轻视的活塞，连进入季後赛都没激起半点涟漪。现在看看他们能不能以此激励 士气，并成为自1982-89年的湖人之後，第一之连续六年打进分区冠军赛的球队。 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. 人们都试着忘记在Korver交易後的爵士有多不同。犹他新得到的准男帅哥甚至都还没先发 过，但看看他们交易过後的战绩：客场11胜10败，以及当Korver得到至少10分时， 26胜2败。 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. 就算他没有拿到MVP或黄蜂没能抢下西区第一，本季都是Paul的天下。因为3号的Chris Paul，让Steve Nash成为自90-91年Magic Johnson之後，第一位平均11次助攻也拿不到联 盟第一的球员。 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 ... 有没有人注意到？就算这支少了姚明的球队，是每一只西区球队都想在第一轮碰到的，如 果顺利的话，他们还是有可能拿下西区第一种子喔！我们只是说说而已... 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. 就算他们在三月六号Shaq先发後做了多少努力，之後也有13胜5败，太阳看来还是会在西 区以第六种子坐收。史上只有三支第六或更低种子的球队能打到总冠军赛。 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. 自从湖人从79-80球季到90-91球季之後，去年冠军队是第一队连续九年都拿到五十胜。但 他们这次可能很难再继续了，如果Manu的鼠蹊不能复原，少了他，马刺连得分都很难。 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. 金块还需要在周三击败曼菲斯灰熊才能确定进入季後赛。灰熊过去17次在百事中心打球只 赢了一场。勇士可能不想要读到最後这两句。 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. 当他们正开始感到事情在好转的时候，当Avery说这季的五十胜就好像以前的六十胜的时 候，他们连续输给了波特兰拓荒者及西雅图超音速，这可能让小牛只有（呃）第八种子。 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，让人想起了Shaq的第四年，除了Shaq离开前奥兰多前那 个，神奇的第四名的球季。但Howard与魔术的合约要直到2012年才结束。 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. 对Arenas来说，想要加入第六人之争已经太迟了。但是对波士顿的三胜，三剑客即时的回 归，都让塞尔提克皮皮挫。骑士队也一样。 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. 在纽约，延长Isiah Thomas的合约注定了尼克的...，那费城呢？季中只有24胜31败，低於 五成胜率七场，当延长了Mo Cheeks的合约後...，他们再次成为一支进入季後赛的队伍。 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. 丹佛输给了沙迦缅度与西雅图给了金州勇士新希望，但是这群蠢蛋因为在主场输给金块而 把它全还回去了。所以别再全怪金州一开季困苦的0胜6败了。 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? 通常这里的问题都是：骑士要怎麽击败波士顿与底特律去回到总冠军赛？ 现在的是：在大交易後只有14胜12败，LeBron回来能让骑士打过第一轮吗？ 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. 我们在这里再说一次：有件事每季都会发生，而这季发生在国王身上。他们在西区只是一 支零散的队伍，但如果他们换到东区一定能进入季後赛。 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. 整体来说很光明的一季。在Oden动手术，当大家都以为要再抽一次乐透的时候，波特兰以 一次13连胜，来避免拿到史上第三年轻球队的输球纪录。 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. 不论他们在这排名多低，不论他们在西区排不到前11，不论他们本季将要被波士顿横扫， 至少在剩下这周，老鹰都将高飞。 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. 总管Colangelo很"失望"。Bosh也因为人们一直问他是不是很"沮丧"而被搞得很烦。至少 就如期望中，暴龙将在第一轮对上奥兰多魔术。 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，印地安纳被他们的对手老鹰告知，他们想要偷进第八名种子的希望已经确定 幻灭。事实上，当他们在星期六自家中被夏洛特山猫打败的时候，这个梦就已经消失了。 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. 我们的好朋友Sam Smith从Chicago Trib上面得到这个消息：现在我们等着看，看Sam Vincent是否会加入Scott Skiles的行列，成为本季密西根州最有可能被砍的名单之一。 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. 篮网曾经以东区第一种子一路杀进NBA总冠军赛...在2002年。如果塞尔提克做到他们应该 做的，篮网再也不能做这种宣称後，他们还剩下什麽？ 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. 公牛没有样迈阿密一样变成一只发展联盟的球队。他们本季的摆烂模式，也很难让他们能 抽乐透。但从从曾经是东区冠军热门人选的角度看来，这是个罪恶的堕落。 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. 开季7胜4败，三场对克里夫兰的胜利，是这只悲惨的球队唯一的可提之处。在Bill Simmons无预警候选以及最终雇用John Hammond作为球队总管之後，总算有点希望。 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. 这可能是Isiah任期内唯一可以被纪录下来的光荣成绩，但是我们还在认真考虑对於这个 纪录光荣的程度：这不会是尼克史上第一个输超过60场的球季...只差一点。 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. 在送礼般的把Pau送到湖人之後，不知道灰熊有没有一天会被原谅。但当地对他们的态度可 能在选秀夜得到Derrick Rose後转变。 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. 过去这两个星期日，击败丹佛以及达拉斯实在是太屌了。但你没办法闪避超音速将带着队 史上第一次60败向人们说再见。 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? 灰狼必须赢下最後两场，以避免第一次自94-95球季的21胜61败後，输60场球。 我只是好奇：你要猜多少次才会想起94-95球季是灰狼上一次没有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. 这会是我最後一次对快艇这个希望被遗忘的球季评论...，所以我就只用这个空间来提醒 大家，上个礼拜二是我最爱的Braves队在变成快艇队之前，最後一场在水牛城的比赛。 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. 除非他们把剩下的两场都输掉，否则这不会是热火最烂的一个球季。就算他们以2-0让全 世界都惊讶也不太可能说服得了Pat Riley。 --
