Christina Schmidt: Degrassi Season Two
At long last, the second season of Degrassi: The Next Generation, featuring popular plus-size actress Christina Schmidt, has been released on DVD. And all you really need to know about it is the following:
This is the finest compilation of Classical feminine beauty ever captured on film.
Season Two includes "Mirror in the Bathroom," the famous episode in which Christina's character, Terri MacGregor, reveals that she is a plus-size model. That episode constitutes the high-water mark of the series, and from Christina's performance, to the thoughtful and sensitive script, it is the most successful examination of the plight of timeless beauty in the modern world that we have yet encountered.
During its second season--perhaps to back up the modelling storyline--Degrassi allowed Christina Schmidt to display at least a suggestion of her true beauty. The clothing was more attractive, including a few midriff-baring tops:
the makeup was "model pretty":
And as a result, we see Christina looking absolutely radiant in every scene in which she appears:
Indeed, the screen captures that comprise our first Christina Schmidt gallery are almost all taken from various episodes throughout Season Two.
Miss Schmidt's innumerable fans will be delighted to know that this boxed set also includes a full-length "Extras" DVD, featuring many scenes involving Christina that were never broadcast. But more about that later . . .
In terms of the quality of the actual programs, Season Two falls somewhat short of the standard set by Season One, the storylines of which evolved organically and logically out of the inner natures of the show's lead characters. Several new characters are introduced who do not mesh entirely successfully with the personalities of the original cast. The storylines begin to be issue-driven rather than character-driven (a problem that becomes even more pronounced in subsequent seasons). And most notably, the show begins to exhibit an unmistakably left-leaning political agenda. How viewers react to that last fact will depend on their own moral predispositions, but it is something for parents to consider before purchasing the set for their children. (Fortunately, "Mirror in the Bathroom" is politically neutral--as all treatments of size celebration should be.)
There are flashes of brilliance, though. Apart from Christina's model storyline, several other episodes are rather noteworthy. One program shows the Degrassi school holding a "Heritage Day" to celebrate the students' various ethnic and cultural backgrounds (which is a wonderfully novel and unmodern idea). And in one especially distinguished episode, penned by Aaron Martin (who was demonstrably Degrassi's best scriptwriter), a young student is beset by conflicting emotions following the death of his abusive father. The resolution of this conflict involves a sensitive and heart-rending scene between the boy and Christina's character, Terri, which is viewable as one of the video clips in our interview with Miss Schmidt.
And even though Season Two features considerably fewer episodes directly involving Christina than fans would like, she easily steals every scene in which she appears. Watching the series again, it is easy to see why Miss Schmidt won the Best Supporting Actress award for her portrayal of Terri MacGregor, because the gifted actress always hints at a multiplicity of emotions, and a rich inner life, bubbling just under the surface of her somewhat reserved character.
But to return to an aesthetic point, perhaps the best single reason for obtaining this collection is to view one of the items featured on the "Extras" DVD.
This is a clip involving Christina rehearsing a scene with an actor who is auditioning to play one of the second season's new characters.
The clip is important because, for once, we see Christina "as herself"--not in the wardrobe of her self-conscious character, Terri MacGregor. Dressed according to her own style, Christina sports an off-the-shoulder, short black dress (although covered by a jacket), and looks utterly stunning.
The scene that the two are rehearsing is one of the sequences from Christina's plus-size model episode. The line that the male actor reads is,
"You know what I think? I think you're the most beautiful girl in school."
and it undoubtedly required very little effort for him to get into character in order to deliver this line, because throughout the scene, Christina keeps carelessly running her hand through her hair,
and unwittingly striking a series of "model poses" that would put Linda Evangelista to shame.
And this underscores an important point about the changing depictions of plus-size girls in the media. The journey from the character of the self-conscious Terri MacGregor, to the self-confident Christina Schmidt--from "victim" to "vixen"--is the journey that the media must be encouraged to take, in its representation of full-figured women.
Degrassi made a tremendous leap forward over any previous show by casting a gorgeous actress in the plus-size role--which is something that no series had ever done before. The show could identify Terri as a model, and every viewer would believe it, regardless of how much thin-centric indoctrination they had endured, because of Christina's remarkable look:
But now, what is needed is a character who actually sees herself as beautiful, one who embodies not the self-consciousness of the past generation, as Terri's character bio notes:
but the self-confidence that plus-size girls enjoy today--girls who consider themselves goddesses, and who actually are.
In its second season, Degrassi appeared to be headed in that direction, with its careful, deliberate evolution of the Terri character from self-conscious "satellite" to glamorous model. How regrettable that the show cut that development short, and left Terri's journey incomplete, in favour of other, less compelling storylines. It would still be fascinating to see how Terri's individuation would have progressed, via Christina's deft portrayal.
Otherwise, it remains for another film or television project to pick up where Degrassi left off, and to take the aesthetic restoration of Classical feminine beauty to the next level.
Re: Christina Schmidt: Degrassi Season Two
"Terri lives alone with her father, a widower, and her feelings of responsibility toward him have helped to reinforce her caring personality."
That's what the description of Christina's character says. What an interesting premise. I can't think of a film or TV show that's really explored a relationship like that, and how if affects a young girl while she is growing up. It makes it even more regrettable that Degrassi didn't continue her storyline. They could have done so much with the character.
But I agree -- having a young girl on TV who is gorgeous and full-figured is not only original, it's unprecedented. Let's hope that Christina's work on the show gives many young girls more positive notions about beauty and size.

Giveaway Sponsored by Country Outfitter
Welcome to Day Two of holiday giveaway week at Planting Dandelions! Sorry to be late in the day with these, but you've got all week until Friday, 11:59 pm CST to enter the daily giveaways, so don't worry about missing out.
I have loved getting to mediate weekly on the quirks and charms of living in the South via my column for Country Outfitter, and I hope you've been following along. My most recent reflection is about translating winter wonderland activities to our (usually) green Christmas climate. I wrote it before last night's cub scout holiday party, or I would have most definitely included this:
That is a child being wrapped in toilet paper as a substitute for making a snowman. It was both hilarious and pitiful. The boys LOVED it. Alas, I don't have a single good shot of the tube sock "snowball" fight that ensued, but it was spectacular (we used balled up pairs of new socks, which were then donated to a shelter).
I've got another column going up tomorrow about Southern foods for gifting, so watch for that. Meantime, Country Outfitter has a really special post-holiday gift for one of you: this black leather "Seeing Stars" bag by Tano, which retails for $225. Gorgeous, right?
To enter to win, just leave your comment on this post. And be sure to leave one on yesterday's post, as well. If you win both drawings, you'll be automatically awarded the highest value prize, and I'll re-draw for the other (only U.S. addresses are eligible for this prize–sorry!).
Best of luck!

ZIPS Dry Cleaners Franchise Opportunity
ZIPS is building a great brand and has a unique model within the dry cleaning industry. We think that this is the future, and we know that our customers will appreciate the fast and better service at a better, straightforward price. What attracted us the most, is that ZIPS isn't a franchise where you need to sell or convince your customers the service is needed. Dry cleaning is something that most of us need and we're excited to deliver a lot of value to customers who use our service.
What attracted us most to ZIPS was the company's successful business model that is based on a concept revolutionary to the industry and clearly in high demand to today's dry cleaning customer. More than 20 years ago, before Planet Fitness changed the fitness landscape with its more affordable offering, very few people blinked an eye when they were charged $50 or more for their monthly gym membership, Today, ZIPS is doing the same in their industry. Everyone needs dry cleaning in some capacity. The real question customers should ask themselves is, 'Would I rather pay $50-$60 for ten pieces to be dry cleaned, or $19.90 for the same ten pieces and have it done in one day?'

Desert. Endless miles of walking. Tents. Oven-baked porta-potties. Hydration stations swarming with sweaty humans. And of course, 200 live acts of eargasmic musical performances that will change your zen forever, man.
It's a battle in the desert, so here are some tips on how to survive Coachella Music Festival and still enjoy your 3-day musical journey.
Camp out with your pants out
- SKIP THE HOTEL. Not only are you spending boatloads of money on top of the $350 RFID wristband, you're totally losing out on the Coachella experience. Grunge it up, mingle with your kind, and don't be a pansy.
- DON'T PROCRASTINATE. Sensible Simon should tell you to purchase your camp site / car camping passes at the same time you purchase your Coachella ticket. However, most of us music-festers don't know who Sensible Simon is and got ultimately SCREWED when all these passes were bought up by evil scalpers. Instead of being sold for $75 at face value, you'd see them being sold on Craigslist for $150-$300! Hale-to-the-No.
- CAR CAMPING > TENT CAMPING. The way the lots were arranged this year, the tent lot was furthest away from the music stages – although it was definitely quieter, making it easier to get some sleep – it was SOOO FAR! In the desert, every step you take feels like an eternity. With car camping the lots are closer to the music venues and you can obviously pack a lot more supplies to help you survive Coachella – ie. coolers, beer, grills, blow-up dolls etc. You can also easily fit 2-3 tents in one car camping spot. If you and a couple of friends get car camping passes – you could totally combine forces and build a giant mega-fort! Awesome! Only downside, if even – it's a lot livelier and noisier, so you may not get all that much sleep (which is why you pack red bull).
- DANCE. NAP. DANCE. Another reason to camp. You're going to be so exhausted from all the concerts that you're going to be so thankful that you can just walk to your tent and crash for a bit. If you stay at a hotel, you won't be able to do this and you probably won't enjoy Coachella as much because of the exhaustion.
- SUNBLOCK. You're in the desert! Do you want skin cancer? WHY ARE YOU WEARING PAINT ON YOUR FACE? Don't forget to bring chapstick with sun protection as well.
- SUNGLASSES. For obvious reasons. The laser show at night!
- WATER CONTAINER. Water is $2.00. Gatorade is $4.00. Coachella has hydrating stations with filtered water that's FREE. I didn't bring one and as a result I spent $100 on water in order to keep myself hydrated.
- WET ONES TOWELETTE WIPES. You may need this to take a "hippy shower." Or after a trip to the porta-potty. This seriously was something I was glad to have with me.
- TAMPONS. They are like $7.00 for a pack of 5. Ridiculously expensive. Bring them for bloody noses, because of the dry climate weather. Yea…that's it…
- COMFY, LIGHT, BREEZY CLOTHES. It's hot. No need to dress to impress.
- PANTS & HOODIE. The reason why the desert gets so hot is due to the thin atmosphere and lack of water. The heat penetrates through this thin layer making it very hot in the day. And guess what, at night the heat disappears and it can drop to around 40-50 degrees.
- FLIP-FLOPS & SNEAKERS. Sneakers for long-distance walking and extreme bio-dome dancing. Flip-flops for the showers.
- UMBRELLA FOR YOUR TENT. This sounds weird, but if you can put some type of umbrella or another tent on top of your tent – you will be able to get some more shade. You couldn't sleep past 7AM because the sun would penetrate the tent and singe your forehead.
- COLGATE WISPS. For those times you lose your toothbrush and yo breath seriously stanks. (Thx Sam!)
- Indian feather headdress
- Body/face paint (sweating + body paint = smelly hipster creature)
- Flannel shirt
- Gladiator sandals
- Babies (seriously, I saw babies there, wtf?)
- Frugalness – just face it, you're going to spend lots of money
- DSLR cameras – unless you want it to explode

Black-Eyed Susie by Kristen Mae
Black-Eyed Susie: A Short Story by Kristen Mae has a surprise ending.
With "little Black-Eyed Susie, you'd better be careful what you wish for."
It is a disturbing story with strong adult content. I gave it three stars.
I received a complimentary Kindle copy in an Amazon promotion. That did not change my opinion for this review.

We are conducting workshops based on what we call the 'Toolbox',
a list of questions that can guide collaborators into discussions
that explore the philosophical dimensions of their work together.
Read More....
Ready to find out how to schedule your workshop?
Request More Information...
Philosophy TV episode on the Toolbox Approach featuring Michael O'Rourke and Graham Hubbs
Collaborative, cross-disciplinary science is an increasingly important part of responses to proliferating, complex problems. Complexity typifies certain problems facing human societies, such as poverty, infectious diseases, and the quest for sustainable use of natural resources. Improving the cross-disciplinary research (CDR) required to address such problems is a significant challenge. Meeting this challenge will alter contemporary science, dramatically changing how scientists think about science within and across disciplines and how they communicate in creating and applying new knowledge within collaborative scientific endeavors. Despite this challenge, practical approaches to enhancing collaboration have emerged slowly, lagging behind the initiation of collaborative projects and the increase in funding opportunities that encourage collaboration.
The emerging literature on how to conduct CDR focuses on the difficulties of integrating the social, biological, and physical aspects of collaborative research projects, disciplinary chauvinism, group processes conducive to effective research, and institutional and educational structures congenial to cross-disciplinary collaboration. These published approaches emphasize a common theme: the need to develop effective communication as part of the CDR process.
The Toolbox Project is intended to provide a philosophical yet practical enhancement to cross-disciplinary, collaborative science. Rooted in philosophical analysis, Toolbox workshops enable cross-disciplinary collaborators to engage in a structured dialogue about their research assumptions. This yields both self-awareness and mutual understanding, supplying CDR collaborators with the robust foundation needed for effective collaborative research.

For criminal issues, forensic psychiatrists are often employed to look at the defendant's mental state to help the criminal court system better understand the nature of the crime. Other situations include assessing whether a minor should be tried as an adult, the capacity of the defendant to formulate the 'mens rea' or thought processes to fully understand the act done, or whether a defendant is competent to participate in the trial process. Other issues that a forensic psychiatrist assist with are included in the link below.

Tim Black
I am a lifelong recreational sailor who enjoys every
minute on the water. Teaching sailing classes for
Northern Breezes Sailing School is an especially
satisfying experience. The active sailing
community has allowed me to expand my experiences to
skipper, race crew, and cruise in many beautiful
sailing venues.
I currently cruise, teach and entertain on an
Aquarius 23 keelboat on White Bear Lake.
I skipper my E-scow in races on Bald Eagle Lake and
I helm the A-scow "Dumbledore," which races out
of the White Bear Yacht Club. My wife Peggy and
I have had the great opportunity to charter and crew
in many wonderful cruising grounds. We have
trailered our keelboat to the Florida Keys, Door
County, Wisconsin, Lakes Pepin and Superior, and
many inland lakes. The E-scow experience
includes regional regattas and several trips to Lake
of the Woods International Sailing Association
summer regatta. Charter destinations to the Bahamas,
the Florida Keys, the British Virgin Islands, the
California Coast and Grenada have provided many
memorable vacations. We spent five years as regular
crew on a Voyage 380 catamaran that cruised in the
Mediterranean including Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, the
Ionian Islands of Greece and Malta. The big cat also
spent some time in the Caribbean and we made stops
in the BVI, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and
down-island to Antigua, St Bart's, Guadalupe and St
Sailing is a big part of my life and the best part
is spending quality time on the water with the
people I have met along the way.

Disaster, Casualty, and Theft Loss
Daily news reports show us that disasters – small and large – can affect anyone. We've all seen the hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, mudslides, even volcanoes. If it happens to you, can you get any kind of break when you file your taxes? The short answer: It depends on whether it's a disaster or another kind of loss.
If you live in an area that the President has declared a federal disaster area, there are several things to consider when filing your return. Otherwise, you can claim a casualty loss – a loss of property not in a declared disaster area. Casualty losses are things that happen unexpectedly and not gradually over time. There's also a provision to claim a theft loss. There are different requirements for claiming each of these losses.
Let's start with disaster losses.
Disaster Loss
This type of loss is for the headline-making events, like hurricanes, tornadoes and other kinds of natural disasters. Living in an officially declared federal disaster area may make you eligible for certain tax advantages. If the disaster is bad enough, you may receive federal assistance with housing and cost of living expenses. Payments received from the federal government are nontaxable income. These payments can be used for medical, dental, housing, transportation, personal property, or funeral expenses.
Any loss you suffer can be deducted for the current year or, if it's for a prior year, you can amend that year's return. You may also be eligible to file for an extension to file and pay taxes if you live in a declared disaster area. Another benefit is that the IRS will also decrease interest on due taxes during the extension.
Note: Unemployment assistance payments received while also receiving disaster relief are considered taxable income.
Casualty Loss
A casualty loss is the damage, destruction, or loss of property (including rental property) resulting from a sudden, unexpected, or unusual event. Gradual or progressive damage or destruction doesn't qualify. You can deduct a casualty loss if the damage is the result of one of:
- Car accidents
- Earthquakes
- Floods
- Unsafe home due to disaster
- Hurricane or tornado
- Vandalism
- Fires
The owner of the property may claim a deduction for a casualty loss. If jointly owned, the owners divided the loss equally. If married filing separately, each owner deducts his or her share of the loss.
Typically, you deduct the loss for the year the loss occurred. If you are expecting reimbursements from an insurance claim, you must subtract the reimbursement from the loss total, and claim only the remaining unreimbursed amount. If you are expecting a reimbursement covering all losses, then you can't deduct any loss.
But: If you don't claim a deduction because you expect a future reimbursement and then don't receive the expected amount, you may still claim the deduction for another tax year – the year of no reasonable prospect of reimbursement.
Theft Loss
If you are the victim of theft, you're eligible to claim a deduction on your tax return. What counts as theft? If your property was taken illegally, as defined by state law, by:
- Blackmail
- Burglary
- Embezzlement
- Extortion
- Kidnapping for ransom
- Larceny
- Robbery
In addition, you can deduct losses from a Ponzi scheme or similar fraud.
If you're being reimbursed for your theft loss – from insurance, for example – you must subtract the expected reimbursement from the total amount of the loss. The difference from the reimbursement and loss is the amount of the deduction allowed. If you're required to pay a legal fee to recover stolen property, you deduct the legal fee as part of the theft loss.
Important: If you suspect theft, it's a good idea to document your loss by getting eyewitness statements or filing a police report.
Claiming a Loss
Casualty and theft losses can only be deducted if you itemize.
Use the Form 4684 screen on your 1040.com return to report property casualties and thefts. If the property that sustained a loss was insured, you must file a claim for insurance reimbursement before deducting the loss on your return. For unreimbursed losses of personal property, you can only deduct the amount of loss in excess of $100 for each incident, and 10 percent of your adjusted gross income for all losses.

Bruintjes, MD, PhD Abstract We conducted a study to determine the causes of dizziness in patients aged 70 years and older who had been referred to our multidisciplinary dizziness clinic between Nov. 1, 2000, and Dec. 31, 2008. This population was made up of 731 patients-254 men (34.7%) and 477 women (65.3%). During their consultations, all of these patients were evaluated simultaneously by an ENT surgeon and a neurologist. We were able to identify the cause of dizziness in 620 of these patients (84.8%). The two most common causes were benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which was found in 202 patients (27.6%), and hyperventilation/anxiety, which was diagnosed in 112 patients (15.3%). Based on our findings, we conclude that the cause of dizziness can be established in the vast majority of elderly patients. We also compare our findings in these older patients with those of a group of 2,556 younger patients who were seen at our hospital and with the findings reported in other studies.ENT Journal provides full text articles to our registered members.

Rodney Atkins - MASSEY FERGUSON® BECOMES THE "OFFICIAL TRACTOR" OF RODNEY ATKINS FOR 2011
Country Music Star Rodney Atkins teams with Massey Ferguson tractors
February 24th, 2011 - The songs of Rodney Atkins speak of the endurance of the working class, the unassuming folks who make up the fabric of America. The man whom penned the song, "Man on a Tractor," shares those same fundamental ideals with a company that boasts more tractors on the job worldwide than any other brand.
In 2011, Massey Ferguson® (www.masseyferguson.com) will proudly be the "official tractor" of Rodney Atkins. A platinum-album-producing star who earned the Academy of Country Music's Top New Male Vocalist award in 2006, Atkins recorded five Number One hits that year including "If You're Going Through Hell." His latest hit "Farmer's Daughter" is a chart favorite. He has toured with the likes of Brad Paisley, Brooks & Dunn, Martina McBride and ZZ Top. The partnership between this native of a small town in East Tennessee and a tractor brand steeped in traditional rural values is a perfect fit.
"I've never been one to stray far from my roots on the farm," said Atkins. "And hard work and love of the land are a big part of that. I was raised with a love and devotion for this country and the principles it was founded upon. I'm proud to share the stage with a brand like Massey Ferguson that embodies those same core values."
Throughout the year, Atkins will be involved in activities ranging from national advertising to dealer tie-ins, social media campaigns, contests and national Farm Shows bringing this ball-cap-donning "regular guy" who just happens to rack up a slew of country hits among the hardworking farmers who share his ideals. One of his first projects is " Rodney Atkins' Official Tractor: Massey Ferguson" (click here) a new YouTube music video where he talks about his ideals.
"It is a tremendous honor to have Rodney Atkins as a face of this brand," said Meghann McNally brand marketing manager for Massey Ferguson. "His songs connect to those close to the land, who take pride in and know the value of a hard-day's work. Those are the same standards that this company was founded on and the standards by which we work today."
Massey Ferguson's commitment to excellence began more than 160 years ago when, in 1847, Daniel Massey began building simple farm implements out of his tool shed in Newcastle, Ontario, Canada. In 1938, his company merged with Harry Ferguson to become Massey Ferguson. Ferguson developed today's three-point-linkage system to allow tractor and implement to work as an integrated unit. The 3-point hitch, one of many equipment innovations by Massey Ferguson, revolutionized the industry and is still in use after more than 70 years.
Massey Ferguson was purchased by AGCO in 1995. Today the company is focused on meeting the needs of all consumers, from the professional farmer to the rural lifestyle consumer. The company recently announced it is bringing manufacturing of its largest row crop tractors, the Massey Ferguson 8600 Series, to North America. This move will help the company better serve the needs of professional farmers here and provide an economic boost to the rural community where the tractors are built.
For more information about products from Massey Ferguson, visit your local Massey Ferguson dealer or www.masseyferguson.com .
Massey Ferguson® is a worldwide brand of AGCO.
AGCO, Your Agriculture Company (NYSE:AGCO), was founded in 1990 and offers a full product line of tractors, combines, hay tools, sprayers, forage, tillage equipment, implements and related replacement parts.

if Utah can do what every other team is doing a/g this team, being the worst team in the league by a mile, i thing that is more than enough evidence for all that the system just doesn´t work, not with Evans and Jrue playing like they were Rivers last year when they were a lot better before
« Dreadful Basketball . . oh and Game On @ Utah
Pelicans can't defend anyone, fall to Jazz »
What's up with Tyreke?
When New Orleans acquired Tyreke Evans in a three-team trade that sent Greivis Vasquez to Sacramento and Robin Lopez to Portland, the move was met with a wide range of emotions. There was some pure excitement, some reserved excitement, and some pessimism due to the amount of his contract. The one thing that seemingly no one questioned, however, was his ability to be a valued contributor to this Pelicans team. Ironically enough, he has been anything but that throughout his first eight games, struggling to get into any kind of rhythm as his PER of 6.64 indicates. The fact that he missed most of the preseason is one that cannot be ignored, but his overall performance thus far begs the question – what's the problem? After checking out a lot of game film from Evans so far this year, I have both some data-driven and visually-driven explanations. First, the numbers, and then how the film supports those numbers.
1. Issue: FG% at the rim & total FT attempts
- What the numbers say: Evans made about 59% of his attempts at the rim in 2012-13, effectively using his strength and athleticism to get good looks and get to the line (4.8 trips per 36 minutes). This season, he is actually getting inside for about the same percentage of his shots; he's just not making nearly as many or earning free throws from them, converting 45.5% through 8 games (a negative trend that the whole team is experiencing) along with only shooting 2.9 free throws per 36 minutes, easily a career low. Given both his relatively proportional percentage of field goal attempts at the rim coupled with the fact that he is actually attempting about two more shots per 36 minutes than he did last season, this statistic is more difficult to explain without visual backup.
- What the film shows: A bit of bad luck, but mostly poor floor spacing. Evans has earned some good looks inside, but a few of them have just rolled around the rim and not fallen. He is 20 for 44 in the restricted area this season, so that distance's FG% would look a lot better if just a couple more of those shots had fallen. That being said, getting to the rim is nice, but it doesn't matter much if you're met by two defenders the majority of the time when you get there. One of the main reasons that this is possible is because the Pelicans don't force opponents to extend their defense out to the perimeter. There is no question that when teams play New Orleans, they know that the Pelicans attempt by far the fewest the pointers in the league. With that being the case, the most efficient shot location remaining is the area right around the rim, so the logical strategy would be to prevent easy looks from that area at all costs. The result? Teams are doing exactly what the Pelicans try to do to them – pack the paint and force them to beat you from deep. The difference is that, unlike New Orleans, other teams actually shoot threes. In order for Tyreke (along with the rest of the team) to become more efficient at the rim, the Pelicans need to place greater emphasis on spacing the floor and spreading out the opposing defense.
2. Issue: Shot Selection
- What the numbers say: So far this season, Evans has attempted about 37% of his shots from areas other than the three-point line or right at the rim. Doesn't sound like too much, right? Well, as it turns out, only 25% of his attempts came from those areas last season. Simply put, Tyreke is taking too many mid-range jumpers (another theme of this 2013-14 Pelicans team).
- What the film shows: While Tyreke's decision-making is certainly problematic at times, there is also too much isolation and teammates standing around. The Pelicans have deployed Evans in a few effective pick and roll ball handler opportunities, but far too frequently, he goes out of his way to create on his own and either chucks up a mid-range jumper with a defender in his face or runs into double teams around 5-10 feet from the rim and then takes a tough shot or turns the ball over instead of passing it out to a teammate. It's almost as if Evans has this pre-existing reputation of being able to get into the lane at will, so everyone else just stands like statues and waits to get a kick-out. For Evans to be most effective, he cannot be the only offensive player moving, but he also has to be a more willing passer when he attacks so that he can turn collapsing defenders into open looks for teammates.
3. Issue: 3-point attempts
- What the numbers say: Based on the first two observations, simple math could get you to this conclusion. While Evans is by no means a great shooter from this distance, there is the potential for significant value added if Evans were to start turning some of those long 2-point attempts into 3-pointers.
- What the film shows: Evans is just 1-6 from long range this season, a total far too small to legitimately scrutinize. That being said, his ratio of long 2-pointers to 3-pointers is one that should indeed be assessed, as some of those mid-range attempts are step-back jumpers just inside the 3-point line. Reducing the amount of isolation plays that he runs, especially early in the shot clock, would be a good first step.
To sum up all of these observations: Tyreke Evans' troubles are a microcosm of the offensive issues for the entire team. If Evans improves, it will likely be a direct result of adjustments that will benefit the team as a whole. Yes, the return of Ryan Anderson's sharp shooting will help, but for Tyreke Evans to reach the level that most people hoped to see, more widespread changes to both Evans' shot selection as well as the Pelicans' offensive game plan will have to occur.

It would be interesting to know if Evans had any ten-game stretches similar to this one in the last two years. If so, might suggest things will even out farther along the season.
this situation remember me Kurt Rambis with Minny years ago, everyone saying that will take time for young players(super young actually) to learn the system… well in the end the problem was Rambis itself
RA w/ the 2nd unit will obviously help the spacing, but I think Rivers needs to play more than Roberts. Let Tyreke dominate the ball with the 2nd unit, play him at PG w/ Rivers at the 2, Morrow at the 3, RA at the 4/5 and one of the black-hole bigs (Aminu, Amundson, Stiemsma). No reason Tyreke should be sitting in the corner while Roberts brings the ball up the floor. Tyreke should get it, push it and try to get an easy look, then re-set the offense. I also would like to see more small ball lineups w/ Davis/Aminu at the 4/5 spots. WE need to run on offense, and trap and switch EVERYTHING HARD on defense, just like Miami does. We need to play like the Heat do in order to be successful. Also, run some kind of post up for Tyreke in the half-court. Something!!!!!
i want a 2nd unit of rivers, morrow, ryno, withey and tyreke….enough of roberts monty
I agree whole heartily with your insight into what's up with Tyreke. Another part of his shooting woes is his poor mechanics on his jump shots. If you notice when he shoots, all of his shots are fall a ways; he falls away even when his shots are uncontested. Check him out own film.
