Power Rankings: The Big East
By John Schuhmann, NBA.com
Posted Nov 17 2008 4:47PM
We're about 12 percent through the season and still experiencing serious
fluctuation in the rankings, as well as in the offensive and defensive
ratings. Obviously, there have been some isolated surprises so far, but
there's also an interesting trend going on.
球季經過了大約12%, 而排名仍有劇烈的波動. 目前為止有些零星的驚奇之處, 但整
體仍然可以看出一個趨勢.
To add another informative factoid to this feature, we checked on how the
two conferences were doing against each other. And the result was eye-
opening to say the least. There have been 46 games between the East and
West so far, and the East has won 31 of them. That's a winning percentage
of .674.
看看東西區之間的對戰成績, 結果是相當令人詫異的. 東區在46場對戰中贏了31場,
勝率是0.674.
Of course, the East's dominance is aided by the fact that no team has
played more games against the other conference than the Oklahoma City
Thunder, and OKC is 0-7 against the East. Still, take them out and the
East is still 24-15 against the West. In fact, the only East team that
currently has a losing record against the West is New Jersey (0-2).
當然, 東區的優勢有部分原因是Oklahoma City Thunder為西區目前跨區對戰場數最
多的球隊, 而OKC對東區的成績是0勝7敗. 然而即使扣除了OKC的成績, 東區仍然以
24勝15敗的成績領先西區. 事實上, 東區唯一在跨區對戰中處於劣勢的球隊只有New
Jersey (0勝2負).
Last season, the West was 258-192 (.573) against the East, and they've
still got plenty of time to turn it around this year. Stay tuned.
在上季, 西區以258勝192負 (勝率0.573)的成績領先東區, 他們本季仍然有許多時
間可以逆轉戰局. 讓我們拭目以待.

TEAM (LAST WEEK) REC. BREAKDOWN
1 Cleveland (5) 8-2 Off: 114.3 (1), Def: 105.8 (13)
The Cavs are the hottest team in the league having won seven straight. It
wasn't too hard to fathom that they would be improved offensively with the
addition of Mo Williams, but No. 1 in the NBA? If they tighten up the
defense, this is a serious title contender.
騎士是聯盟目前最火熱的球隊, 最近拿下七連勝. 雖然Mo的加入理所當然對進攻有所
幫助, 但是全聯盟第一? 如果他們能再加強防守, 將是爭冠的熱門隊伍.
2 L.A. Lakers (1) 7-1 Off: 110.6 (6), Def: 95.2 (1)
So the Lakers aren't perfect (Friday's loss to the Pistons was both their
worst offensive and worst defensive game so far), but they'll have the
opportunity to stay close to it with this stretch where they play seven of
eight games at home with only one back-to-back.
3 Boston (2) 9-2 Off: 102.8 (26), Def: 97.9 (2)
After Friday's loss to the Nuggets, Doc Rivers called the Celtics "the most
miserable 8-2 team I've ever seen." Beating the Bucks in OT the next night
probably didn't raise their spirits. Not turning the ball over so much might.
4 Houston (9) 6-4 Off: 104.5 (21), Def: 101.6 (4)
There have been highs and lows for the Rockets so far this season. Blowing
a 14-point, fourth quarter lead in San Antonio on Friday was certainly a low,
but they recovered well with a comfortable, defense-fueled win over the
Hornets the next night.
5 Phoenix (7) 8-3 Off: 110.9 (5), Def: 106.4 (15)
Suspensions, ejections and flagrant fouls? The new Suns have an edge, and
they also have Shaquille O'Neal playing at his highest efficiency since his
first season in Miami. Thursday's matchup with the Lakers (in Phoenix, TNT,
10:30 p.m. ET) is a must-watch.
