Arenas Puts Wizards On Notice

 

길버트 애리나스가 2007-08시즌후에 워싱턴으로 돌아오는 여부는, 팀이 챔피언쉽을 차지할 수 있는 가능성에 달렸다고 합니다.

 

Washington Times - 04/29 - 5:47 PM EST (AP Photo)

The criteria for whether Gilbert Arenas decides to leave the Wizards following the 2007-2008 season will be whether or not they have a legitimate chance of winning a championship.

"I have one more year to see how everything pans out," he said. "So going into next summer it is going to be either this team is going where I think it can go or is it my time to move on?" [READ]

Bulls Sweep Defending Champs

베이비 불스가 작년도 챔피언 마이애미 히트를 상대로 4연승을 하며 2라운드에 진출하게 됐습니다. 2라운드 상대는 디트로이트 피스톤즈 입니다.

Yahoo.com - 04/29 - 3:42 PM EST

The Bulls swept the defending NBA champion Heat out of the playoffs, winning a postseason series for the first time since the Michael Jordan era.

Ben Gordon scored 24 points, Luol Deng had 22 points and 11 rebounds and Chicago beat Miami 92-79 Sunday in Game 4 to finish off their first-round Eastern Conference series. The games biggest surprise, though, was Ben Wallace, who went 7-8 from the free throw line despite having the worst free throw shooting percentage in NBA history.

The Bulls, who will face Detroit in the second round, became the first team to oust a defending champion in the opening playoff series since Phoenix did it to San Antonio in 2000. [READ]

Nash's 23 Dimes Guide Suns To 3-1 Lead

내쉬가 23어시스트를 기록하면서 시리즈를 3대1로 리드합니다. 플레이오프 최다 어시스트는 매직 존슨과 존 스탁턴이 기록한 24개 입니다. 아쉬워요 너무! 1분여를 남기고 담담히 벤치로 들어가는 내쉬를 보면서... -_-

RealGM - 04/29 - 6:17 PM EST

Boston Has Little Leverage On Telfair Trade Talks

 

텔페어가 구속하기 직전에, 그를 1대1 트레이드 할 기회가 있었다고 합니다. 현재는 트레이드할 수 있는 가능성이 거의 없나 보네요.

 

Boston Globe - 04/29 - 5:42 PM EST

Prior to Sebastian Telfair's arrest, the Celtics could have dealt the young point guard away in a one-for-one package, but that possibility has supposedly evaporated.

Since the club has said that Telfair has played his final game for the Celtics, executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge is left with little bargaining leverage. [READ]

Sources: Nets Will Probably Shop Jefferson

네츠가 제퍼슨과 다음시즌 트레이드 할 듯 합니다. 상대적으로 키드와 카터는 남을 가능성이 높습니다.

New York Times - 04/29 - 5:01 PM EST

The Nets, according to several people with knowledge of the team’s plans, will probably shop Richard Jefferson this summer to get another post player to complement the returning Nenad Krstic.

Jefferson’s contract ($11 million this season) is easier to trade than Kidd’s ($18 million).

“You believe in Rod and Bruce Ratner, they’re going to do what’s best for the team,” Jefferson said, referring to Thorn and the Nets’ owner. “If they include you, they include you, if not, you move on.”

Ratner has publicly said that he wants to keep Kidd and Carter but hasn't said the same about Jefferson.

“I’d rather not talk about that stuff now,” Ratner said, when asked on Friday. "Later, he congratulated Jefferson in the locker room.

“I’m just thinking game by game, just like the players,” Ratner said. “I love watching our Nets. It’s real team play.” [READ]

Bargnani Expected To Start Game 4, Ford Questionable

바르가니 4차전 선발 출장했습니다. 포드는 보도한바는 달리 경기에 나왔죠.

Globe And Sports - 04/29 - 4:28 PM EST

Although Raptors coach Sam Mitchell wouldn't say so, all evidence points to rookie Andrea Bargnani getting his first start since January and only his third of the season, replacing a lifeless Joey Graham in the lineup as the Raptors try to even the series at 2-2.

Bargnani was wearing a black top along with the other starters during the pre-game shoot-around this morning, and when he asked if he was starting he said, "Yeah….We have to do something because the last game here was very bad."

Bargnani has struggled during the series, shooting just 27.8 per cent in the three games while searching for his timing after missing the last month of the season following an appendectomy.

There may be some question about who's starting at point guard, however, as T.J. Ford didn't participate in the shoot-around because of what Mitchell said was an upset stomach. [READ]

Sloan Says No Truth To Kirilenko Trade Rumors

지난 일요일날 울음을 터트린 안드레이 키렐린코 선수. 트레이드 소문이 난무하고 있는 가운데, 제리 슬론 감독은 그냥 사람들이 떠드는거라고, 트레이드 루머는 사실이 아니라고 합니다.

Deseret News - 04/29 - 4:19 PM EST

Andrei Kirilenko's tearful meltdown last Sunday over his reduced role and poor play may have prompted some not in-the-know to speculate the Jazz might consider trading their starting small forward from Russia this offseason.

But Jazz coach Jerry Sloan — his club still involved in a first-round NBA playoff series with Houston — squashed that notion before Saturday's late-starting Game 4.

"That's all people talking," Sloan said.

"I mean, people can say anything they want — which they do, and I don't have a problem with that, other than I would appreciate people being a little more fair and honest about it instead of off-the-cuff stuff that's not true."

The truth, Sloan suggested, is that Kirilenko is a critical component of a Jazz core he hopes to have together for years to come.

"I don't look to trade players," he said. "That's when people (other teams) come in and they think you're gonna have ... a fire-sale." [READ]

Mitchell Mum On Change To Lineup

샘 미첼은 모리스 피터슨을 조위 그래햄 자리에 앉힐거라고 합니다. 바르가니의 비중도 높아질것 같습니다. 조위 그래햄의 부진이 팀 전술에 영향을 끼치는가 봅니다.

Toronto Star - 04/29 - 5:43 AM EST

With Joey Graham no longer part of the equation, Sam Mitchell has to come up with a solution for the Raptors' struggles at small forward.

He's not about to divulge just how he'll do that but the bold move, the move that's right out of left field, may involve one of the more struggling Raptors.

The logical assumption would be that Mitchell will turn to Morris Peterson to fill Graham's spot, but he could throw everyone a curve and call on rookie Andrea Bargnani.

"I'm going to do something but I'm not going to tell you guys right now since I don't have to," Mitchell said yesterday.

Mitchell benched Graham for the second half of Friday's game because he was playing so poorly. [READ]

Mitchell's Kidd Talk Stirs Controversy

 

미첼의 제이슨 키드의 무릎에 관해서 한 발언이 약간의 문제가 되는듯합니다. 정말 부상을 참으면서 열심히 뛰고 있을지도 모르는 선수에게 부상이 없는데 거짓말한다라는 식으로 얘기를 했으니, 야비하다는 인상을 남길 수도 있죠. 키드는 어차피 사람들은 자기의견이 있는거니깐 신경 안쓴다고 합니다.

 

 

Toronto Star - 04/29 - 5:41 AM EST

Sam Mitchell's throwaway line referring to Jason Kidd's "so-called" knee injury was treated as a disrespectful shot at the future hall of famer in some parts yesterday.

What was meant as a compliment – the Raptors no more expected Kidd to miss Game 3 than they expected the New Jersey Nets to lie down and play dead – turned into something of a cause célèbre here yesterday.

"They don't have to see me go through what I have to go through to get ready," Kidd said. "Timmy (Nets athletic trainer Tim Walsh) sees what I have to do to get ready. Between the two of us he gets me ready.

"I have confidence in him and the doctor to say that I have nothing to be concerned about. Everybody will have their opinion if I'm hurt or not." [READ]

Johnson: 'I've Got To Do A Better Job'

매버릭스는 지난 워리어스와의 세경기 모두 1쿼터 후에 뒤쳐졌습니다. 에버리 존슨은 자기가 더 잘해야겠다고 합니다.

Dallas Morning News - 04/29 - 2:59 AM EST

The Mavericks have trailed after one quarter in all three games of the first round series against Golden State. Their average deficit is just under six points. In a series that's all about holes, that's another one they haven't been able to climb out of in two of the three games.

"I expect a lot from this team," Johnson said after Saturday's practice. "I take full responsibility because it's my job. When something goes wrong, it's definitely all my fault. I got to do a better job of preparing them to play in these games." [READ]

Arenas Vows To Come Back 'Better Than Ever'

올스타 가드 길버트 에리나스는 내년 시즌 최고이 컨디션으로 돌아오겠다고 합니다. 여름에 휴가를 안가고 왼쪽무릎 완치를 위해서 총력을 기울일거라고 합니다.

Washington Post - 04/29 - 2:41 AM EST

All-star guard Gilbert Arenas says he plans to spend this summer rehabilitating his surgically repaired left knee, not lobbying for major changes to the Washington Wizards ' roster.

Arenas, who met with reporters before last night's Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Verizon Center, said he plans to come back "better than ever" next season. He has been out since tearing meniscus in his left knee against Charlotte on April 4 and underwent surgery the following day.

"I have a long summer, I'm not going on vacation this summer," said Arenas, who will be featured on the cover of the popular video game "NBA Live" when it is released in October. "We'll stay here and make sure this knee is 100 percent. I'm going to come back stronger than I was last year. Faster. I have to work at it."

Arenas said he hopes the Wizards keep their core group together. [READ]

Grant Hill Mulling Over Retirement

그랜트힐이 은퇴를 늦출수도 있다고 합니다. 6월 혹은 7월달의 자신의 기분이 어떤지에 따라서 복귀 여부를 결정할거라고합니다. 그랜트힐은 자신의 희망사항은 항상 뛰는것이라고 합니다.

ESPN - 04/29 - 2:36 AM EST

Seven-time All-Star Grant Hill, whose career was slowed by a recurring ankle injury, is contemplating retirement.

Hill scored 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting in Orlando's 97-93 season-ending loss to Detroit on Saturday, then said he planned to take a couple of months off to "see if some of the lingering pains go away" before deciding whether to play again.

"We'll see how I feel in June and July," Hill said. "The desire, of course, is to always play. But you don't want to live on anti-inflammatories and so forth. We'll just see, at least in my case, how I feel." [READ]

Okur, Jazz Even Series With Rockets

슛 난조에 시달리던 오쿠르가 간만에 활약하면서 로케츠를 이겼습니다. 데런 윌리엄스는 25득점으로 계속 맹활약 중입니다.

Yahoo.com - 04/29 - 2:18 AM EST

Mehmet Okur broke out of his scoring slump with 16 points, stifled Yao Ming defensively, and the Jazz evened their first-round series with a 98-85 victory over the Rockets on Saturday night in Game 4.

Deron Williams added 25 points, including 11 in the third quarter. Utah outscored Houston 33-17 in the period and again flustered the Rockets into a listless second half while tying the series at two games apiece. [READ]

Finley, Horry Rain '3's' On Nuggets, Spurs Take 2-1 Series Lead

소위 '그분'이 돌아오셨습니다. 만 35살의 로버트 호리가 3점슛들을 작렬시키면서 3차전 승리를 도왔습니다.

Yahoo.com - 04/29 - 2:14 AM EST

These Spurs suddenly look more king of the mountain than over the hill.

The seasoned Spurs took a 2-1 series lead on the youthful Nuggets with a 96-91 victory Saturday night that was fueled by two old pros with a combined quarter century of NBA experience.

With Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker doing the heavy lifting as usual, 36-year-old Robert Horry and 34-year-old Michael Finley put the game out of reach with a flurry of 3-pointers in the third quarter. [READ]

Arenas, Butler Introduced, But Cavs Take 3-0 Lead

 

애리나스와 버틀러가 주전으로 경기전에 소개되었으나 실제로 뛰지는 않았습니다. 길버트 애리나스가 절뚝거리면서 나올때 관중들은 엄청나게 환호했다고 합니다. 사기를 올리려고 한 모양인데 결과는 캐브스 3-0리드입니다.

 

Yahoo! - 04/28 - 8:42 PM EST

In an attempt to inspire the crowd and their teammates, Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler were introduced with the Washington Wizards ' starting lineup. Arenas gingerly limped down the steps and across the court on his surgically repaired knee as the crowd went wild.

The undermanned Wizards rallied from a 17-point third-quarter deficit, but again couldn't finish the job in the final period. The Cleveland Cavaliers , mastering the art of doing just enough to win, held on for a 98-92 victory Saturday to take a 3-0 lead in the first-round series.

LeBron James had his best game of the series with 30 points, nine assists and six rebounds for the Cavaliers, who are one game away from sweeping a playoff series for the first time in franchise history. Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 24 points and eight rebounds, but the most glaring statistic was the Wizards' 6-for-20 shooting in the fourth quarter. [READ]

Pistons Advance To Second Round

피스톤즈 가뿐히 2라운드 진출!

Yahoo! - 04/28 - 8:39 PM EST

Chauncey Billups scored 25 points, Richard Hamilton added 19 and the Pistons avoided a fourth-quarter meltdown to beat the Magic 97-93 Saturday and sweep the first-round series.

"The one thing we had such a big advantage on them is experience, and the only way you can get better at that is to go through it," Billups said. "I'm sure there are a lot of things they would change coming down the stretch."

The sweep was Detroit's first in the playoffs since 1990, when the "Bad Boys" won a second consecutive NBA title. [READ]

[Durant, Kevin]

시즌 내내 키렐린코가 자기 역활을 찾지 못한건 확실합니다. 득점이야 다른 선수들이 탁월하니깐 득점이 줄어드는건 이상할게 없죠, 리바운드와 블락은 오쿠와 부저가 야금야금 뺏어가고.

제퍼슨의 트레이드 소식은 뉴욕 언론입니다. 그리고 뉴욕엔 프라이와 커리, 제프리스 등등이 있지요. 맨 처음 소식을 접한 게 뉴욕 포스트여서, 그냥 씩 웃고 넘어갔습니다만, 뉴욕 타임즈에서도 다루긴 했네요. 그래도 별로 신빙성은 안 느껴집니다.
