Clippers-Mavericks Preview Though the Dallas Mavericks might go into the playoffs feeling fine physically, it seems very possible they won't feel nearly as good mentally. 虽然达拉斯小牛对能进入季後赛感到快乐，但他们心理上可能没这麽快乐。 Dallas could lose any shot it still had at claiming the Western Conference's second seed and get caught for the third spot if its losing streak reaches five Friday night against the visiting Los Angeles Clippers. 达拉斯小牛在还是西区第二种子时输太多场比赛而退至第三种子，如果在礼拜五晚上 输给来访的洛杉矶快艇队的话那排名顶多只有第三种子。 The Mavericks (53-25) had been in second place in the West for much of the season, but recent struggles have dropped them two games behind the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers would wrap up the No. 2 seed Friday if they beat Portland and Dallas loses to the Clippers. 达拉斯小牛(53胜-25败)保持在西区第二名已经好一阵子了，但最近的连败让他们落後 洛杉矶湖人两场胜差。如果在这礼拜五湖人打赢了拓荒者而小牛输给了快艇，湖人将 稳坐第二名宝座。 Even the third seed is now in jeopardy for the Mavericks with a one-game lead on Oklahoma City, which hosts Denver on Friday. 即使小牛现在是第三种子但也只领先奥克拉荷马雷霆一场胜差，而他们礼拜五将在主场 迎战金块。 "I don't think it does any good to watch (the standings) now," said Dirk Nowitzki, who has missed 16 of his last 20 3-point attempts. "We've got to start playing better and feel good about ourselves going into the playoffs." "我不认为现在去看那些排名会有什麽好处，"Dirk Nowitzki 说道，而他最近在三分线 投20球错失了16球。"我们必须开始去打得更好并找回进季後赛的感觉。" Since March 5, Dallas joins Atlanta as the only playoff-bound teams with sub-.500 records. The Mavericks are 8-9 in that span - following an 18-1 stretch - and riding a four-game skid during which they've averaged 91.5 points, about eight below their season average. 自从三月五号，在季後赛名单的队伍中，只有达拉斯小牛和亚特兰大老鹰打出的战绩 低於五成，在打出一波18胜1败之後小牛只打出8胜9败的成绩，而且最近的四场比赛的 平均得分只有91.5分，低於季赛得分平均8分左右。 Coach Rick Carlisle, for one, isn't ready to panic. He had 38-year-old point guard Jason Kidd take the night off Wednesday and gave center Tyson Chandler a second straight game off to recover from a bruised back. 教练Rick Carlisle 对此并不恐慌。他让38岁的控球後卫Jason Kidd休息并在礼拜三的 比赛高挂免战牌，也让中锋Tyson Chandler休息两场比赛去治疗他的背部挫伤。 Every other active Dallas player, except rookie Dominique Jones, took the floor as Dallas lost 104-96 to Denver. 在小牛输给金块(96-104)这场比赛中除了菜鸟Dominique Jones 其他的小牛现役球员都有 上场去比赛。 "Right now, with our team, we're not about measuring sticks," Carlisle said. "It's about getting our physical and mental disposition where it needs to be and move forward feeling like we're making progress." "就是现在，我们的队伍并不是在原地止步" Carlisle 说道。"我们将处理好身体的问题 及整理好我们的情绪让我们能向前迈进。" Team owner Mark Cuban said before Wednesday's game that the players being rested is more important than gaining the third seed. Even if Carlisle chooses to rest anyone Friday, he certainly should be expecting a victory. 球队老板 Mark Cuban 说球员在礼拜三的比赛之前的休息比保持第三种子更重要。 即使 Carlisle 选择让谁在礼拜五那场比赛休息，他坚信能获得这场胜利。 The Mavs have won nine straight and 15 of 16 against the Clippers, including three this season. Los Angeles (31-48) has dropped eight in a row at Dallas and has the West's second-worst road record at 9-30. 小牛对快艇已经九连胜且在过去16场中赢了15场，包括这季的三连胜。洛杉矶快艇(31-48) 在这系列中已经在小牛主场输了八场而目前客场战绩(9-30)是西区倒数第二。 The Clippers, though, have been playing well. They defeated Oklahoma City on Saturday, won at eighth-place Memphis on Tuesday and gave the Northwest Division champion Thunder a good run again Wednesday before falling 112-108. 快艇最近打得越来越好。他们在上礼拜六时打败了奥克拉荷马雷霆，并在礼拜二时赢了 第八种子的灰熊，而在礼拜三时面对西北组的分区冠军-雷霆打得有声有色直到最後才 以108-112输给了雷霆。 "I like the way we hung in there," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We gave ourselves a chance and that's what you want to do on the road." "我喜欢我们现在所保持的打球方式"教练 Vinny Del Negro 说道。"我们自己做了个 尝试而那正是我们所想做的。" Blake Griffin had 35 points and 11 rebounds for his 61st double-double, three fewer than Dwight Howard and Kevin Love for the league lead. Griffin is winding down his Rookie of the Year campaign in impressive fashion, averaging 24.8 points and 13.8 rebounds over the last eight games. Blake Griffin 在他第61次双十时拿到了35分及11个篮板，而双十的成绩只仅次於 Dwight Howard 及 Kevin Love 这两位联盟的领先者。Griffin 以让人印象深刻的成绩 结束了他的菜鸟之年，他在过去八场比赛中平均得分有24.8分以及13.8个篮板。 对快艇要好好拿下阿~老板Cuban都这样说了 Let's Go Mavs!! -- /\/\ /\/\ 当人生失去了目标 喝酒伤身 ( )▌ ξ▂( ) 抽菸伤身 ( )V V( ) 还剩下什麽呢 不喝伤心 || || 不抽伤心 --
