Ford and Jarrett Jack -- can remain healthy at least until Travis Diener, the third point guard, returns from his sore left foot. 溜马教练 Jim O'Brien 祈祷他的前两名控球後卫 - T.J. Ford 和 Jarrett Jack 能保 持健康，至少要等到第三名控球 Travis Diener 能从他的左脚酸痛中复原。 "We've been playing Marquis (Daniels) at (point guard) a lot in practice, and he's ready to go if we need him," O'Brien said before the 100-94 loss. 「我们让 Marquis打控球也练过不少次了，假如我们需要他时，他也随时准备好了。」 O'Brien 教练在这场 100-94 输球的比赛前说。 Diener, who missed the entire preseason, has started shooting after practice, but he is still limited. Diener 错过了整个热身赛，已经开始练习投篮，但还是受到一些限制。 "I'm hoping I can start practicing relatively soon," Diener said. "Hopefully in the next week or week and a half. It's been frustrating. You always hope to recover a little quicker." Diener 说：「我希望我能很快的开始练习。希望是在下星期或一个半星期。这很让人 感到挫折。你总是希望能恢复得快一点。」 Diener's absence allowed Ford and Jack to get used to O'Brien's system. Jack averaged 29 minutes a game and Ford 27 in the preseason. O'Brien also teamed them in the backcourt at times, with Jack playing shooting guard. Diener 的缺席让 Ford 和 Jack 得以熟悉 O'Brien 的系统。Jack 在热身赛平均上场 29 分钟，Ford 27 分钟。 O'Brien 有时候也会让他们两个在後场搭档，让 Jack 打得 分後卫的位置。 "I think they appreciate the amount of time they're getting," O'Brien said. "I don't hear either one of them complaining. We really need to have the point guards on board from the standpoint of our tempo and also being the key to the defense at the point. Last year, we struggled keeping the ball in front of us at that position." O'Brien 说：「我认为他们很珍惜他们挣得的上场时间。我没听过他们任何一人抱怨。 我们真的很需要这些控球後卫，不只是从我们的节奏观点，同时也是控卫防守的关键。 去年在那个位置上，我们为了把球留在我们面前花了很大的功夫。」 No D-League O'Brien said he has no desire to send forward Josh McRoberts to the team's NBA Development League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. O'Brien 说他没有打算把前锋 Josh McRoberts 送到球队底下的 NBDL 球队：Fort Wayne Mad Ants。 "At this point in time, I want Josh to be with us," O'Brien said. "We practice and he's getting a lot of repetition in our system." O'Brien 说：「就目前这个时间点，我希望 Josh 和我们在一起。我们练球，而他在我 们的系统中反覆操练。」 The Pacers have yet to send a player to the D-League. 溜马目前还没有送球员到发展联盟。 McRoberts, who spent time in the D-League last year while with Portland, averaged 2.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in six preseason games with the Pacers. McRoberts ，去年在拓荒者都在发展联盟度过，今年在溜马六场热身赛平均 2.7 分 2.3 篮板。 The Pacers have 15 players under contract, but Diener and Mike Dunleavy (knee) are out with injuries and Jamaal Tinsley is waiting to be traded. 溜马目前有 15 名有约球员，但 Diener 和 Mike Dunleavy (膝伤) 进入伤兵名单，而 Jamaal Tinsley正求售中。 "I'm really a believer in the (D-League)," O'Brien said, "but I think each franchise has to weigh what's best for the individual that has the option of going there. I think he's better off with us." O'Brien 说：「我相信发展联盟，但我认为每支球队都该考虑对个人而言什麽是最好的 。我认为他和我们在一块儿会比较好。」 Deal or no deal The Pacers and forward Danny Granger's representative have two days to agree to a contract extension of up to five years. 溜马和前锋 Danny Granger 的代表还有两天可以达成最多五年的续约。 Granger said the sides are talking and it wouldn't surprise him if negotiations went down to the wire. Granger 说目前对话还在进行，而假使交涉陷入僵局他也不会讶异。 If a deal isn't reached this week, Granger will be a restricted free agent after the season, meaning the Pacers can match any offer. 如果本周没有达成协议，Granger 将在本季结束後成为受限自由球员，意思是溜马可以 跟进任何报价。 --
