Neither the Dallas Mavericks nor the Boston Celtics will enter the playoffs as championship favorites, but both veteran-laden division leaders are trying to prove they can still make deep postseason runs. While the Celtics look for a fourth consecutive win as they continue their road trip Saturday night in Dallas, the Mavericks will be trying to close their homestand with a 15th victory in 16 games. 小牛與塞爾提克，兩隊或許都不被認為是冠軍的大熱門，但這兩支經驗豐富的勁旅，分別佔據了分組老大，要證明他們有能力在季後賽走的更遠。塞爾提克要尋求最近的客場 4連勝，小牛則是要力保最進16場比賽的第15勝。 Dallas (46-22) may be the more likely club to make noise this spring based on its impressive recent play. The Mavs saw their 13-game winning streak end in a shocking 128-94 home loss to the New York Knicks last Saturday, but they bounced back Wednesday by beating Chicago 113-106. Newcomer Caron Butler scored a team-high 27 points to help build a big lead, although Dallas squandered much of an 18-point fourth-quarter advantage before finishing off the Bulls. 小牛是今年春天最讓人注意的球隊，不久前拉出了一波13連勝，在家裡慘敗給尼克後才中止，但上一戰他們谷底反彈以113-106打敗公牛。新加入的Butler拿下全隊最高的27分讓球隊保持大幅領先，但是小牛又在第四節把18分的領先優勢玩的差不多了。 "We've got to get better at closing out games," reserve guard Jose Juan Barea said. "But as long as we keep getting those leads and as long as we keep getting Ws, it's all fine." Dallas has a 4 1/2-game cushion on San Antonio in the Southwest Division, and trails Denver by one-half game for second place in the Western Conference. Barea說:"我們必須在後半段更努力來守住比賽，不過如果我們能夠一直保持領先並且拿下勝利，才是最重要的。"小牛目前在分組排名領先排第二的馬刺有4場半，也只落後排第二的金塊半場。(不過因為對戰西區的成績，金塊擁有tie-break的優先。) It should help the Mavs having Jason Terry back in the lineup after the high-scoring reserve missed five games following facial surgery. Terry wore a clear plastic mask Wednesday and was held to nine points - about eight below his season average - in 25 minutes. "He's a factor on the floor because of all the attention he draws," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "He changes the geometry of the rest of the players. Even when he's not scoring, he's a factor." Jason Terry的回歸將會對小牛很有幫助，這位板凳暴徒因為臉部手術缺賽了五場，上一戰他戴上透明塑膠面具出賽25分鐘僅僅拿下9分，比季平均還低了8分。教練卡帥說: "他是場上的要素，因為他吸引了大家的注意力，他帶動場上的化學效應，就算他不得分他還是我們的靈魂人物。" The win over the Bulls was Dallas' only game in the last six days, but the club's schedule will get significantly busier down the stretch. Starting Saturday, the Mavs play three games in four nights and eight in the next 13 days. "From here on out ... the games just keep coming till the rest of the season and it should be fun," said star forward Dirk Nowitzki, who had 37 points in a 99-90 win at Boston on Jan. 18, snapping Dallas' four-game losing streak in this series. It was the Mavericks' first victory over the Celtics since Boston acquired Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in 2007. 上一場對公牛的勝利是小牛6天來唯一的一戰，但接下來小牛的賽程將相當緊密，明天開始將在4天中打3場比賽，為了的13天當中也有8場要打。Dirk說:"接下來的賽程相當緊湊，這會相當有趣。"本季第一次對上綠衫軍他拿下37分幫助小牛中止兩軍對戰的四連敗。這也是小牛在波士頓三巨頭成形之後首次打倒他們。 Garnett was injured for the Jan. 18 loss - one of 10 games he had to sit out during the Celtics' 13-16 stretch between Christmas Day and the end of February, as the durability of Boston's aging core came into question. Garnett在那場比賽當中因傷缺陣，他在塞爾提克從聖誕節到二月初戰績只有13勝16敗的低潮期當中缺賽過10場，年齡的老化將是綠衫軍的關鍵問題。 The Celtics (44-24) have recovered to go 8-3 in March, reestablishing a double-digit lead in the Atlantic Division and pulling into a third-place tie with Atlanta in the East. Perhaps their most impressive win this month was Friday night's 94-87 victory at Houston. Paul Pierce had 26 points, following up a 29-point effort in Wednesday's win over the Knicks, as Boston held the Rockets to 39.5 percent shooting. 不過他們在三月的戰績來到8勝3敗，再次在分組拿下場過10場的勝差，也在東區排名回到與老鷹並列第三，今天他們在客場以94-87打敗火箭或許是這個月最讓人印象深刻的比賽。Pierce拿下26分，在前一場對尼克他拿下29分，而且他們的防守讓火箭的命中率只有39.5%。 The Celtics are 12-0 when their opponents shoot under 40 percent, but they're not achieving the feat as often as they used to; over the previous two seasons, they were a combined 46-4 when that happened. Allen blamed Boston's defensive problems on the team's performance at the other end. 今年塞爾提克讓對手命中率低於四成的戰績是12戰全勝，但他們今年達成的次數比往年都少，前兩季他們這項成績是傲人的46勝4負。雷槍把防守的問題歸咎於他們不佳的進攻表現。 "Executing offensively, that's been our Achilles' heel, when we've been bad," Allen said. "With bad offense, you put teams in transition, and we don't give our defense a chance." The Celtics still have the NBA's second-best road record at 23-12, trailing only Cleveland's 25-11 mark. "The road is hostile," Garnett said. "You expect the worst, and that's what it is. Maybe we're too confident at home." Allen說:"組織進攻是我們的痛處，當我們的命中率低迷時，我們常常會有機會讓對手做很快的攻守轉換，這讓我們的防守很難奏效。"塞爾提克的客場戰績是23勝12敗，在聯盟僅次於騎士的25勝11敗。Garnett說:"在客場征戰人們都充滿敵意，你得有最壞的打算，我想我們在主場過於有自信了。" 怎麼又是b2b的球隊到我們家本來應該是個利多但是最近的表現還有進步的空間明天希望可以完全體出征!! 橫掃塞爾提克吧~~ 對了 Finley也會回來喔 --
