L.A. Lakers Second Quarter Report

It seems I'm creating the habit of making analyses of the Los Angeles Lakers 2010-2011 season a few games late, but it's better late than never, right?

Anyways, the Lakers are sporting a 32-13 winning record (.711 winning percentage), and are second at teh suddenly tough Western Conference. Since my last report, the Lakers have gotten a 15-6 record. They follow their conference nemesis San Antonio Spurs by five and a half games, but lead the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder by three games.

Following my good-bad format in the first quarter season analysis, here's how the second quarter of the season looked for the team:

The Good

• Ron Artest - In the first twenty games of the season, Ron Artest looked like a slow-footed version of himself. He was able to turn around this January, with better long-range shooting and improved tough guy defense on opposing team's wing players.
• Lamar Odom - This guy should be an All-Star period.
• Andrew Bynum - The team has worked Andrew Bynum into the rotation gradually, and it has been paying dividends for the team. Bynum, while foul-prone, is able to alter opponent shots inside and get blocks himself. This month, Bynum has improved his numbers significantly across the board.
• Interior Play -  Even thoough Pau Gasol has slid a bit, the trio of Gasol, Bynum and Odom has been giving opposing team fits by sharp passing and good rebounding.

The Bad

• The Bench - What the heck happened to the Killer B's? After raving about them at the start of the season, the bench players have faded away. The trade to acquire Joe Smith has yet to bolster the bench effort, especially with Matt Barnes out with an injury.
• Lack of Quality Wins - In the acid tests in the last twenty-something games, the Lakers have failed. The team lost to the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, and Dallas Mavericks.
• Defense - The Lakers have struggled mightily with quick teams because their transition defense is spotty. This 2010-2011 still can't shake the reputation of getting abused by quick players and teams.
• Shot Selection - The team is turning it around in the last ten games, but when the Lakers were losing, they were settling for outside jump shots. This affected the Lakers' offense and disrupted the play of the bigs.

Over-all, the Los Angeles Lakers look far from winning their third straight championship in the season's second quarter. From my perspective,the team has yet to display quality play against quality teams.

NBA Trade Rumors: Crazy Dwyane Wade For Rajon Rondo Proposal Must Be Considered

The Boston Celtics are single of the stalest teams in the NBA appropriate in a jiffy and need a major shakeup.

At 4-5, the Celts solitary wins are on the Wizards (X2), Pistons and Nets. They immediately so go on to be the three most awful teams in the Eastern Conference.

Something needs to alteration or this team is destined to bewilder mutually a .500 season and basic in circles exit. They need another energy.

While it sounds incredibly wild, Fox Sports’ correspondent Jason Whitlock has provided a fantastic solution. He believes the Celtics ought to send out Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen to the Miami Heat in replace in place of Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers:

It’s every time in the superlative consequence of the NBA in place of the Celtics to be related. Boston needs an in-his-prime superstar to be a legit contender. The Big Three are too old. You locate Wade with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett and you maintain a center with the aim of can scare citizens in place of this time and subsequently time.

You add Rondo and Allen to James and Bosh and you maintain an all-time lofty team. I ran this trade ancient amount Simmons carry on week, and he loved it.

Simmons is ESPN’s “sports guy” who is the unofficial biggest Celts fan.

From the Celtics central theme of consider, it makes sufficiently of perceive. Wade, despite dealing with pesky injuries, is single of the 10 superlative players in the league. He has championship experience, theater disgusting plea and can run the central theme if desired. He’s a team player and would instantly rejuvenate an aging team with the aim of may well wear out a jolt.

While on paper the deal sounds bad in place of Miami, in truth it would kind the Heat a real team. Right in a jiffy they are three stars surrounded by a bunch of bench players. They don’t maintain a trustworthy central theme guard and don’t maintain a hard shooter to recognize up whilst LeBron James forces the plea into the paint.

Rondo and Allen kind Miami a complete team. There wouldn’t be some questions who would take the carry on shot. There wouldn’t be some questions who the leader of the team is. Everybody would maintain a defined role. This may well not be a great big deal appropriate in a jiffy, but approach challenge schedule it is.

Besides, how incredible would LeBron and Bosh be with a top-five central theme guard?

While this deal will likely in no way approach to end result, belief Whitlock in place of thinking outside of the box and imminent up with something with the aim of really would toil.

Then again, with the tickly trigger finger of Celtics GM Danny Ainge, it can’t fully be thrown in the trash.

One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

You’re insecure
Don’t know what for
You’re turning heads when you walk through the door
Don’t need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell
You don’t know
You don’t know you’re beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You’ll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe
You don’t know
You don’t know you’re beautiful
Oh oh
But that’s what makes you beautiful

So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I’m right I put it in a song
I don’t why
You’re being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell
You don’t know
You don’t know you’re beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You’ll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe
You don’t know
You don’t know you’re beautiful
Oh oh
But that’s what makes you beautiful

[Bridge]
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell
You don’t know
You don’t know you’re beautiful

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell

If only you saw what I can see
You’ll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe
You don’t know
You don’t know you’re beautiful
Oh oh
But that’s what makes you beautiful
