Thursday turned out to be a long, strange day for the Lakers. First they watched several of their top competitors make trade deadline deals, while they stood pat. Then, playing without Kobe Bryant, they watched the Celtics put an end to L.A.'s four-game winning streak. 星期四對Lakers來說是個漫長又難熬的一天。一開始他們看著好幾個頭號競爭對手在期限前做出交易，自己卻毫無動靜。接著，沒有Kobe Bryant在，他們看著Celtics終止了自己的4連勝 The fact that Boston won the game was no surprise. As I've written before, when the Celtics are healthy, I'm convinced they're the third-best team in the NBA. They're better than every team except the Lakers and Cleveland. Take Kobe away from L.A., and the Celtics should win at Staples Center. The Lakers made a great comeback and kept it close, but Boston won it 87-86. Boston贏球的事實並不令人驚訝。如同我曾寫到，當Celtics維持健全，我確信他們是聯盟第三佳的球隊。除了Lakers和Cleveland以外，他們比其他任何球隊都來的優秀。從L.A拿掉Kobe，Celtics就應該在Staples Center贏球。Lakers打出極佳的反擊並維持拉鋸，但Boston以87-86贏球 But I heard from a lot of Lakers fans today who were upset that L.A. didn't make a trade. It wasn't for lack of trying. We had Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak on the "Mason & Ireland" show Thursday afternoon, and he told us he talked to every other GM in the league leading up to the deadline. Kupchak said he thought the Lakers were close on a couple of different deals, but that he was committed to keeping the core players of last year's championship team together. Meanwhile, Portland, Dallas, Houston, Cleveland and Boston all made key deals. 但今天我聽到許多Lakers迷對L.A.沒有做出交易感到失望。這不是因為缺乏嘗試。Lakers 總經理Mitch Kupchak在星期四下午參加了"Mason & Ireland"的節目，他告訴我們他與其他聯盟的GM持續交涉至截止日。Kupchak表示他認為Lakers有機會達成幾樁不同的交易，但他被要求留住去年冠軍隊的核心球員。同時Portland，Dallas，Houston，Cleveland 和Boston都做出關鍵交易 But did any of those teams improve enough to challenge the Lakers? 但這些球隊中有哪一支改善到足以挑戰Lakers嗎？ Portland, the team currently in eighth place in the Western Conference, clearly improved. The Trail Blazers tend to give the Lakers fits, especially in Oregon, and now they have a center. Marcus Camby is second in the NBA in rebounding this season, and the Blazers didn't have to give up any of their core rotation to get him. But I just don't think the Blazers could win a series with the Lakers, even with Camby. They might stretch it to six or seven games, but that's as far as it would go. Portland，這支目前在西區排名第八的球隊，明顯的強化了。Trail Blazers有能與 Lakers匹敵的傾向，特別是在Oregon主場，現在他們有了位中鋒。Marcus Camby是聯盟本季籃板數第二的球員，而且Blazers沒有失去任何主力球員去獲得他。但即便有了Camby，我仍然不認為Blazers能在系列賽中擊敗Lakers。他們有可能將戰線延至第六、第七戰，但僅此而已。 Dallas now has as much offensive firepower as L.A. By picking up Caron Butler , the Mavericks can put him on the court with Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry and Shawn Marion. That's a team that can score with anybody. But the Mavs were a middle-of-the-pack defensive team before the trade (ranked 15th), and they didn't get any better on defense after the move. I think if the Lakers ended up in a series with the Mavericks, Dallas wouldn't be able to handle the size or height of L.A. Dallas在獲得Caron Butler後擁有跟L.A.一樣多的進攻火力，Mavericks可以將他擺上場搭配Dirk Nowitzk、Jason Kidd、Jason Terry和Shawn Marion，這是支可以各點開花的隊伍。但Mavs在交易前卻是隻守備中等的球隊（名次15）而且在交易後並沒有改善。我想如果系列賽碰上了，Dallas無法對抗L.A的體型和重量。 Houston improved by picking up high-scoring Kevin Martin, and the Rockets will score a lot more now. But Carl Landry, one of the players the Rockets sent to Sacramento in the deal, was a key part of their team. Landry was especially good against the Lakers, both as a scorer and a rebounder. I'm not sure the Rockets improved overall. Without Yao Ming, Houston might not even make the postseason. Houston藉著延攬得分好手Kevin Martin來補強，Rockets至今起將會得更多分。但交易 Carl Landry，前Rockets球員，到Sacramento，卻是他們球隊的關鍵。Landry在對抗 Lakers方面出奇在行，無論是得分或是籃板。我不確定Rockets是否全面改善。沒有姚明，Houston可能連季後賽都打不進去。 The only way the Lakers would see either Boston or Cleveland is the NBA Finals. And I would argue that if either team makes it that far, both are now better equipped to beat L.A. Lakers唯一能遇見Boston或Cleveland的方式是總冠軍賽。兩支都是現況足以擊敗L.A.，我會質疑如果兩支球隊沒有一支打進總冠軍賽。 Boston is a long shot to get there, but I might be the last guy to jump off of the Celtics' bandwagon. If they can get everybody through their various injuries, this team is absolutely loaded. Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett are All-Stars, and at any given time they can put Paul Pierce, Rasheed Wallace and Ray Allen on the floor with them. Now they've traded for Nate Robinson, who is exactly the kind of change-of-pace spark plug the team didn't have. On top of that, the Celtics play solid team defense. Coming into Thursday's game, they ranked first in the NBA in points allowed with 93, and then they held the Lakers to 86. I don't care how many people tell me Boston is old and done. I'm not sleeping on the Celtics. Boston要闖進總冠軍戰希望不大，但我應該是最不可能從Celtics風潮中脫離的人。如果他們可以讓每個人消除各自的傷痛，這支隊伍可說以準備完全了。Rajon Rondo和Kevin Garnett是全明星而在任何時候他們可以將Paul Pierce、Rasheed Wallace和Ray Allen推上相同的舞台。現在他們交易來了Nate Robinson，一個確實是這隻隊伍以前沒有過的不同調領導人物。有這優勢，Celtics展現堅固的防守。在星期四的比賽中，他們平均失分93分，聯盟第一，並壓制Lakers只拿下86分。我不在乎多少人告訴我Boston已經老了且玩完了。我不會忽視他們。 Cleveland made the biggest deal on deadline day. The Cavs were able to get Antawn Jamison from Washington, without giving up any of their core players. In a weird twist, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, the player they traded, will probably re-sign in Cleveland after the Wizards release him. The end result is that the Cavs were able to add Jamison without subtracting anybody important. But it's always risky to mess with team chemistry in the middle of the season. On Thursday night, the first game after the trade, the Cavs had their 13-game winning streak snapped by Denver (although Jamison didn't play). I would argue that when they've had a few practices, the Cavs will be better. And that means Cleveland should now be the favorite to win it all, with the Lakers a close second. Cleveland在截止日完成最大的交易案。Cavs沒有失去任何主力球員從Washington獲得 Antawn Jamison。一個奇怪的轉折，Zydrunas Ilgauskas，他們交易出的球員，可能將在 Wizards釋出後重新被簽回Cleveland。最後的結果是Cavs可能獲得Jamison而沒有失去任何重要球員，但在球季中打亂一支球隊的化學變化總是有風險的。在星期四晚上，交易後的第一場比賽，Cavs的13連勝被Denver截斷（雖然Jamison並未上場）。我會質疑當他們沒有經過磨合，Cavs會變得更好。這也表示Cleveland是現在最有希望在拉鋸戰中贏 Lakers的球隊。 Still, I like the Lakers' chances. Although they've lost both games to the Cavs this year, I just can't imagine any team beating L.A. four times in a two-week stretch. 儘管如此，我仍舊喜歡Lakers的可能性。即便他們今年對Cavs兩戰盡墨，我就是無法想像有任何球隊能在兩週的賽事中擊敗L.A.四次 But my guess is I'm going to get a chance to find out. 但我將有機會查明我的猜測 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.71.2.194
