For fans in that camp, don't get your hopes up. Bird said Monday he has no plans to fire O'Brien. If anything changes, according to Bird, it will be the roster. 球迷向大鸟抗议，要欧比王下台负责，但大鸟挺欧比王。 "Jim is going to be here; that's one thing the players have to know," Bird said. "The coach is secure. We wouldn't have picked up his option if we didn't think he was secure. If the players have a problem with Jim, the players are the ones that are probably going to leave." 大鸟说欧比王很安全，如有球员跟欧比王过不去，球员会先被处理掉。 The Pacers are coming off their second-worst loss since the 2004 brawl, a 34-point blowout at Miami one day after a 12-point loss against Atlanta. They are closer to catching New Jersey for the league's worst record than Cleveland for the Central Division lead. 溜马被热火烤爆34分是大乱斗之後最惨的一场，并且离乐透领班的篮网越来越近。 "I don't like what I'm seeing," Bird said. "Going in, we expected to compete and be in every game. I thought last year we played very hard and had a chance to make the playoffs at the end. The play on the court now, it's no excuse. We have to be able to compete on a nightly basis." The Pacers (9-20) are one game worse than they were at this point last season, but there's a different feel. "I've seen it off and on throughout the season," Bird said. "I take notes every game and watch the players' performance, watch their body language. I watch them on the bench. "It's a clear sign when guys or the team is not playing well, guys sit on the bench and they cover their face with their towel and they're talking to one another. That's not a good sign and that's something we don't like seeing." blablabla....大鸟不爽溜马本季的表现.... Fans blame O'Brien, who is 81-112 in two-plus seasons. Bird doesn't. Bird said the team is still rebuilding, and extending O'Brien's contract through next season is part of the process. "We decided awhile back that we had a plan and we're going to stick with the plan," Bird said. "If there's changes that are going to be made, it's going to be through personnel, not through the coaches." 大鸟认为目前球队仍属重建期，而欧比王的续约刚好就是其中之一。如果有需要变革 的地方，也会从球员开刀，而非教练。 Don't expect owner Herb Simon to step in and make a move, either. Simon said he supports Bird and O'Brien. "It's a problem, but it's solvable and we're going to solve it," Simon said Monday. "It's going to take some time. We always said it was going to take three years to get the flexibility we needed. This is just a little setback." 老板也挺大鸟跟欧比王，认为溜马的问题奀。 Bird is exploring trades, but he won't make a move just to appease fans. 大鸟正在寻求交易，但不会只为了平息民怨而交易。 He is looking toward the summer of 2011, when the Pacers will gain salary cap flexibility as the contracts of Mike Dunleavy and Troy Murphy expire. They will make $22.5 million combined next season. "Something we have to do is really watch everything and make sure, if we make a deal, it's going to be looking forward to the future," Bird said. "We've always been looking. We talk to people, just not every day. With the cap and the (luxury) tax coming down again next year, we're in a situation where we have to be very careful what we do." 大鸟将目标订在溜马薪资大解套的2011暑假，并且任何动作都要以未来为主。 由於薪资上限和豪华税门槛明年会再降低，任何动作将得十分谨慎小心。 -- 娶了@x>--- 久而久之，红的变了墙上的一抹蚊子血，白的成为床前明月光； 娶了---<x@ 白的便是衣服上的一粒饭，红的却是心口上的一颗朱砂痣。 《张爱玲 红玫瑰与白玫瑰》 --
