The Scalabrine Watch Week 2

This season the NBA has listened to one of my many thoguht and has started to track a players +/- during the course of individual games. Due to my intense dislike of Brian Scalabrine, I am going to track the inept deadbeat in a weekly post called The Scalabrine Watch.

Celtics 119 Nuggets 93: +5
In 15 minutes of action Scals once again didn't do anything that poorly. He knocked down a triple and garnered 4 assists. One thing of note is that in a 26 point blowout victory it's almost impossible to have a negative +/-.

Game Stats: 15 Minutes, 2-3, 5 Points, 3 Rebounds, 4 Assists

Celtics 106 Hawks 83: +7
Scalabrine essentially walked onto the court for 18 minutes on Friday night and accomplished just about nothing other than getting knocked the f*ck out and suffering a concussion. Once again the 23 point blow out win means everyone on the roster ends up in the positives.

Game Stats: 18 Minutes, 0-0, 0 Points, 3 Rebounds, 1 Assist

Celtics 112 Nets 101: DNP
Scals was still recouping from what probably wasn't a fun concussion. I'm not going to hate on the guy for getting knocked out and not playing the next day. In essence he was just helping the team by giving his minutes to a better player for that we should all be grateful.

Overall Week Performance: +12
Scals had a decent opening week when it comes to +/- which is annoying to me. Eventually you would have to think that he is going to begin to start playing poorly and start bring them down atleast a little bit.

Week Stats: 33 Minutes, 2-3, 5 Points, 5 Rebounds, 5 Assists, 2 TOs

Overall Season Performance: +32
The Celtics are the only undefeated team in the NBA and thus despite being horrible at the game of basketball, by association with good players your rating goes up a bit.

Season Stats:17.5 MPG, .400 FG%, 3.5 PPG, 3 RPG, 1.5 APG

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
