<P><BR>Boasting the NBA’s best winning percentage to this point in the season (87.5 percent), the Lakers are the only team in the Western Conference that doesn’t have at least three losses. In fact, only one team - the Phoenix Suns - has three losses, while Houston, Utah, Portland, Denver and New Orleans have all lost four times.</P>
<P><FONT color=deepskyblue size=4>目前湖人现在是西区唯一一支少于三次失利的球队，并以87.5%的胜率暂时领衔全联盟。事实上，只有菲尼克斯太阳，输了三场比赛，而西区其他的象火箭，开拓者，爵士，掘金，和黄蜂都输了四场。</FONT></P><FONT color=deepskyblue size=4>

<P>LAKERS: L.A.’s 7-1 mark is not misleading, and it’s no stretch to say the opening stanza for the purple and gold has been the league’s most impressive. The Lakers have won three road games in hostile environments (Denver, Dallas and New Orleans) and destroyed Portland, the Clippers and Houston at home. I don’t think anyone’s too worried about Friday’s home loss to Detroit, though it does let the Lakers know that their talent isn’t great enough to overcome any deficit at any time, as it had seemed in the first seven wins. There aren’t even any glaring areas of weakness that standout on this team, because “being susceptible to good perimeter shooting” isn’t too plausible.<BR><FONT size=4><FONT color=deepskyblue><FONT color=red>湖人</FONT>：<FONT color=deepskyblue>7胜1负的战绩大家有目共睹，紫金之师的这开局也是目前联盟里最让人印象深刻的。湖人队在凶险的丹佛，达拉斯，和新奥尔良连下三城，在家门口又连灭开拓者，快船，和火箭。我认为大家不会对于输给活塞一仗太过于担心，因为这的确让湖</FONT></FONT><FONT color=deepskyblue>人知道他们的天赋远不足能一直都克服困难，在前7场胜利里也看得出来。这支球队并没有特别的缺点不足，因为要说对外围投篮的敏感是缺点也貌似不合理。</FONT></FONT></P>

<P>SUNS: Phoenix’s 7-3 mark, however, is slightly misleading. The Suns have won only one game against a team with a record over .500 (Portland), and lost to the Hornets and Rockets (both of whom L.A. beat) as well as the Chicago Bulls. Shaquille O’Neal has been fantastic in some games (27 and 11 at Milwaukee, 29 and 13 with six assists at Sacramento) but has sat out others. Steve Nash served a one-game suspension after a mini-brawl with Houston, but the question with Nash is if he can last 82 games plus the playoffs in peak condition. Did anyone else see him struggle immensely with San Antonio in the first round last season? Yet and still, Phoenix is too talented to dismiss by any means.<BR><FONT color=deepskyblue size=4><FONT color=red>太阳</FONT>：7胜3负的战绩也有点让人意外，他们在对阵胜率过50%的球队时只赢了开拓者，输给了湖人打败过的黄蜂和火箭，还输给了公牛。奥尼尔在其中一些比赛里也有出色发挥，在对雄鹿时拿下27分，11个篮板，在对国王时更是有29分，13板，6助攻的抢眼发挥，但是其他比赛里他就状态一般了。纳什因为跟阿尔斯通起了冲突被禁赛一场，但问题是纳什能不能以最佳状态打82场球呢（包括季后赛）。我们还能看见他象上赛季首轮对马刺那样全力拼搏吗？然而无论如何太阳的潜力还是无法让人们忽视的。</FONT></P>

<P>KINGS: A young squad that really seems to play hard for head coach Reggie Theus, the Kings have managed to win four-of-six games despite being without best player Kevin Martin and former All-Star Brad Miller at times. Both second-year center Spencer Hawes and rookie Jason Thompson have looked very good for the Kings, however, which makes Sacramento a better team than it looks on paper. Yet and still, I’m not sure anyone’s considering the Kings a threat to make any real noise this season. Their four wins are over Memphis, Minnesota, Golden State and the Clippers.<BR><FONT color=deepskyblue size=4><FONT color=red>国王</FONT>：一群年轻的小伙子看起来似乎在雷吉-席亚斯的领导下认真打着球，即使在那段没有球队最好的球员凯文马丁和前全明星中锋布拉德米勒的时候，他们还是取得4胜2负的成绩。二年级中锋斯宾瑟-霍伊斯和新秀贾森汤普森看起来都不错，理论上这让国王比它看起来要强，但是，我不肯定是否有人会把他们当作联盟里能兴风作浪的威胁呢？他们赢的四个对手分别是灰熊，森林狼，勇士，和快船。</FONT></P>

<P>WARRIORS: A strange mix of players and a strange rotation from head coach Don Nelson has produced four wins against Minnesota (OT), Denver, New Jersey and the Clippers, though the Warriors have already lost twice to the lowly Memphis Grizzlies. Stephen Jackson and Andris Biedrins have been very good through 10 games, but the rest of the roster is a mess: Corey Maggette’s missed four games, Monta Ellis won’t play for a while, Al Harrington is demanding a trade and missed five straight games, and guys like Brandan Wright, Anthony Randolph, Anthony Morrow and C.J. Watson could play anywhere from zero to 45 minutes a night. They have some talent when fully healthy, but it’s tough to picture them coming anywhere near a playoff victory, let alone getting to the postseason.<BR><FONT color=deepskyblue size=4><FONT color=red>勇士</FONT>：一群奇怪的球员组合，和一个奇怪的轮换阵容，主教练丹尼尔森也能赢了森林狼（加时），掘金，网队，和快船，即使他们已经输给低迷的灰熊两次了。史提芬杰克逊和安德里斯-比德林斯在这10场比赛里都打得相当不错，但是其他人就一团糟了：马盖蒂已经缺席四场比赛了，艾莉斯还没那么快回来。哈林顿则是要求交易，也连续缺席了5场，而像Brandan Wright, Anthony Randolph, Anthony Morrow 和C.J. Watson这些球员，都能够在任何地方每场打0到45分钟。他们完全健康时是有些实力，但很难想象他们能够接近于季后赛的大门，更别说打进季后赛了。</FONT></P>

<P>CLIPPERS: You can’t really blame the Clippers for losing their first six games, not with their roster in such disarray with Baron Davis and Marcus Camby missing time when the schedule delivered the Lakers and Jazz twice each, and Houston and Denver once each. The Clippers responded with a win over Dallas, but then lost consecutive games against Sacramento and Golden State. Hhhmmm. Those two losses worry me much more than the first six, particularly because the Clippers had everyone playing. Prior to the season, Baron Davis said that if the team can simply hang in there while the talent figures out how to mesh together, the Clips can make a second-half run to get into the playoffs. I bought in after seeing their first unit look, at times, impressive against the Lakers, but my skepticism is growing<BR><FONT color=deepskyblue size=4><FONT color=red>快船</FONT>：你们真的不能责备快船输掉前6场比赛，因为在有段时间里戴维斯和坎比都不在，而且赛程让他们遇到湖人和爵士各两次，火箭和掘金也各一场。快船赢了小牛后，就连续又输给国王和勇士。嗯。。。。输的这2场球比前6场更让我担心，主要是因为快船把所有人都派上场了。在赛季前，戴维斯说只要球队在阵容融合时还能紧跟着其他队伍，那么他们后半程发力还是能进入季后赛的。在了他们的第一阵容时，我相信了他，特别是打湖人时让我印象深刻，但是现在我开始怀疑了。。。。。</FONT></P>
