Recent history shows a majority of the playoff teams are likely set.

最近的歷史表明，大部分的季後賽球隊很可能已經定型。

Take a look at last year standings.

看看去年的排名。

Four weeks in 13 of the 16 teams in playoff positioning ended up, in fact, making the postseason.

四周16支季後賽定位的球隊中，有13支最終，事實上，進入了季後賽。

In fact, nine of the last 10 seasons.

事實上，在過去的10個賽季中，有9個賽季。

Either six or seven teams from each conference that were in the playoffs at the four week mark stayed in the top eight.

四周時每個賽區有六七支球隊進入季後賽，要麼就留在前八名。

So as we start with the East, standings today were the last to East champs.

所以我們從東部開始，今天的排名是最後到東部冠軍。

The Heat.

熱情。

The Raptors air within a game of the Knicks, Cavs and Hawks.

猛龍隊的氣力在尼克斯隊、騎士隊和老鷹隊的比賽範圍內。

Richard, who is the one team most at risk in the East of falling out of the playoffs because I know it's early, but history shows only one of these teams is likely to fall out.

理查德，誰是東部最有可能跌出季後賽的球隊，因為我知道現在還早，但歷史表明，這些球隊中只有一支球隊有可能跌出。

Oh, that's tough.

哦，那是艱難的。

I'm gonna have to say, Oh, God, it's gonna hurt.

我得說："天啊，會很痛的

But the calves calves in the Hawks are the two teams.

但老鷹隊中的小牛是兩支球隊。

I think both of them are not gonna.

我想他們兩個都不會。

I don't think both of them, both of them, won't make it like, Wow, I just look, that's because the heat.

我覺得他們兩個人，都不會讓人覺得，哇，我就看，那是因為熱。

How are we going to say the heat aren't gonna make?

我們怎麼能說熱度不高呢？

Well, that's what's so.

嗯，就是這樣。

They got so much talent.

他們有這麼多的天賦。

The point is that if you put the heat or raptors traditional powerhouses of the past few years in and the reason why I say that the reason why I say this is because of this.

關鍵是，如果你把過去幾年的熱度或迅猛龍傳統強國，而我之所以這麼說，是因為這個原因。

When you look at last year's team, the sun started off super, super hot, and then they slowly trickled down.

當你看到去年的團隊，太陽開始時超級超級熱，然後他們慢慢地流下來。

Timber will have started off super super hot and then trickled down.

木材會有開始超超熱，然後涓涓細流。

So even though that month chart had them in there, where they were two weeks before was even higher and they just kept going down.

所以，即使那個月圖裡有他們的身影，但兩週前他們所在的地方更高，他們就一直在往下走。

So that's why it's like I look at those teams and those teams started off well, and now they're slowly trickling down.

所以，這就是為什麼我看那些球隊，那些球隊開始的時候很好，現在慢慢的就流產了。

You would say both the Cavs.

你會說，無論是騎士隊。

Yeah, I'm sorry, Cavs fans, I love you guys to death, but no, I think that's all about the Hawks.

是啊，對不起，騎士隊的球迷們，我愛死你們了，但不，我想這一切都是為了老鷹隊。

What about you?

你呢？

I'm going with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

我選擇克里夫蘭騎士隊。

Also.

還有：

I just think, you know, you don't think the Knicks are staying in.

我只是覺得，你知道，你不認為尼克斯會留在這裡。

I think Coach Thibodeau is gonna do wonders for that ball club.

我認為蒂博多教練會給球會帶來奇蹟。

He's changed the culture.

他改變了文化。

They're playing defense now.

他們現在在防守。

Eso I believe that the Knicks will make it, but Atlanta and Cleveland They're two of the worst defensive teams in the league, and that's not a recipe force making the playoffs on.

Eso我相信尼克斯隊會成功，但亞特蘭大和克利夫蘭他們是聯盟中防守最差的兩支球隊，這不是一個配方力使季後賽上。

I think Miami Heat, who will be one of the better defensive teams, are gonna get in well and again.

我認為邁阿密熱火，將是一支防守較好的球隊，他們會很好地再次進入。

Look at the Cavs, even the makeup of their team.

看看騎士隊，連球隊的組成都是如此。

Like I love their young.

就像我愛他們的年輕。

Their young talent love their backcourt.

他們的青年才俊喜歡他們的後場。

You know, They got Jared Allen, they got Drum and they got JaVale McGee.

你知道嗎 他們有賈裡德-艾倫 有德倫 還有賈維爾-麥基

So it's like even then, they kind of have, Ah, a little bit less of a traditional team.

所以就像即使是這樣，他們也有點，啊，有點不太像一個傳統的團隊。

And you're gonna depend on a very young backcourt, not having Porter Jr.

而且你要依靠一個非常年輕的後場，沒有小波特。

You know, playing for personal reasons and dealing with stuff.

你知道，玩個人原因和處理的東西。

If he was playing and giving them their 15 16 tonight, then you're like, Okay, you got guard, you got wings.

如果他今晚打球，給他們15 16，那麼你就會說，好吧，你有後衛，你有側翼。

You got veteran bigs, but it's just like it's just not quite clicking in.

你有經驗豐富的大個子，但它只是像它只是不完全點擊在。

To say those young players are gonna lead them through this stretch is gonna be tough next year.

如果說這些年輕球員要帶領他們走過這段路，明年會很難。

I think the cat's make the postseason.

我覺得貓咪能進季後賽。

I wanna move over to the West.

我想搬到西部去

A half a game separates teams four through eight and two of last season's playoff teams, the Nuggets and the Maverick really a game out of eighth.

第四到第八的球隊之間相差半場，上賽季季後賽的兩支球隊，掘金和獨行俠真的是第八場的差距。

So, Paul, which team in the West is currently most at risk to miss the playoffs?

那麼，保羅，目前西部哪支球隊最有可能錯過季後賽？

Memphis will not make it this year, you know well, so I think it's gonna fall out.

孟菲斯今年不會成功，你很清楚，所以我認為會掉隊。

I think the Portland Trailblazers on that has, I mean, because they're dealing with injuries betting against Dame Lillard.

我認為波特蘭開拓者隊在這一點上有，我的意思是，因為他們在處理傷病賭大姆利拉德。

Well, it's not name, literally.

嗯，這不是名字，字面意思。

It's a squad.

這是一個小隊。

I mean, he's losing markets, lost C J.

我的意思是，他失去了市場，失去了C J。

McCollum that, you know these guys gonna be going by from 4 to 6 weeks and 72 games.

麥科勒姆說，你知道這些人要去 由4到6周和72場比賽。

And then not not to mention they're going to go at some point, go through some protocol issues where they're missing players, and so I can see them easily falling out in Denver.

然後不不說他們會在某些時候，經歷一些協議問題，他們缺少球員，所以我可以看到他們很容易在丹佛掉隊。

What are we doing playing again?

我們又在玩什麼？

They're doing a play.

他們在做一齣戲。

They are.

他們是。

I will say this and that.

我會說這個，也會說那個。

That's where the Blazers may be able to do exactly what they did last year, which was make a push right there at the end.

這也是開拓者隊或許能做到去年的做法，那就是在最後關頭髮力。

If they are whole healthwise toward the end of the season again.

如果他們又在賽季結束時整個健康狀況良好。

The teams that are in the nine and 10 spot will have a chance to at least be in the mix for a plane.

處於九、十名的球隊，至少會有機會爭取到一架飛機。

Look, look, can we talk about the Nuggets, though?

聽著，聽著，我們能談談掘金隊嗎？

For a second you get just having an M.

一下子，你得到的只是有一個M。

V P season, right?

V P季，對吧？

He is first team all NBA considerations.

他是所有NBA考慮的第一隊。

M v p.

M v p.

Consideration.

審議情況：

Thanks, Rachel.

謝謝，瑞秋。

I'm just kidding.

我只是在開玩笑。

He's having that type of season.

他有這種類型的賽季。

And they were M v P right now.

而他們現在是M對P。

Well, okay, look to your point.

嗯，好吧，看你的意思。

Yeah, like you said.

是啊，就像你說的。

But like, the fact that they are where they are at, Like, I understand that you wanna push.

但是，事實上，他們在哪裡，他們在， 就像，我明白，你想推動。

But guys, they had gone further and further and further every single year got better every single year.

但夥計們，他們已經越走越遠，一年比一年好。

And now you're not even in the postseason a month in.

而現在你連一個月的季後賽都沒進。

There's some things there that need to be addressed and need to be changed and need to be tweaked because you shouldn't be here at this point in time.

那裡有些東西需要解決，需要改變，需要調整，因為你不應該在這個時間點上出現在這裡。

Not with that roster, right?

不是用那個名冊吧？

If you were hovering at the 67 or if you're hovering at the four or five, but to go conference finals toe out the postseason are out of the postseason currently with a month in something, right?

如果你是在67分徘徊，或者你是在四五分徘徊，但是要去會議決賽趾高氣揚的出季後賽都是出季後賽目前用一個月的時間在什麼，對嗎？

Well, you know that team you played on that team where you sat and watched other people a lot of watching on that team.

好吧，你知道你在那支球隊打球的時候，你坐在那裡，看著別人在那支球隊裡看了很多。

And this was a team.

而這是一個團隊。

We expected to have at least a degree of continuity.

我們期望至少有一定程度的連續性。

I know the Jeremy Grant situation, but they have young stars.

我知道Jeremy Grant的情況，但他們有年輕的明星。

They've been developing.

他們一直在發展。

What do you think is there not that young anymore?

你覺得有沒有不那麼年輕了？

When you're I'm just saying, when you're in your second contract and you're a year and two into your contract and you have all MBA guys first teamers like Yokich you, I still think is the best big in the league is better.

當你我只是說，當你在第二份合同中，你在合同中一兩年的時候，你的合同中都是MBA的人一線隊的人，比如說約基奇你，我還是認為是聯盟中最好的大個子比較好。

I think he's better than indeed.

我覺得他比確實。

And so when you have all of that, there is no excuse for that.

所以當你擁有這些的時候，沒有任何藉口。

Their defense isn't great.

他們的防守不是很好。

Um, you know, I think you have young players trying to make jumps.

嗯，你知道，我認為你有年輕的球員試圖使跳躍。

Still think Jamal Murray.

還是認為賈馬爾-穆雷。

I think Porter is trying to make jumps, and so, you know, there's a lot of, you know, bowl, bowl, like once.

我覺得波特是想做跳躍，所以，你知道，有很多，你知道，碗，碗，像一次。

You know, they're just a lot of stuff going on, but they should not be where they are right now.

你知道，他們只是有很多事情要做，但他們不應該是他們現在的位置。

I really think Kevin Not having Porter Jr is really hurting this.

我真的覺得凱文 沒有小波特真的很傷腦筋。

Yeah, Michael Porter Jr Hey gives him athleticism and size a stretch for, uh, the guy who's slowly turning into a star in this league that we saw in the playoffs, and I really think it's hurt them early.

是啊，邁克爾-波特小嘿給了他運動能力和體型的延伸，呃，這個傢伙正在慢慢變成這個聯盟的明星，我們在季後賽中看到了，我真的認為這已經傷害了他們的早期。
