The Scalabrine Watch Week 6

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 113 76ers 103: -3
Scals got in for a whopping 2 minutes against the 76ers early in the week, to which he contributed absolutely no statistic. Not a point, not a rebound, Not a foul not a turnover, nothing. Zeros across the board.

Game Stats: 2 Minutes, 0-0, 0 Points, 0 Rebounds, 0 Assists

Celtics 112 Nets 84: -4
The Celtics had this one in the bag going into the 4th with a 36 point lead. Thus Scals and the rest of the bench got a lot of burn in the 4th. The bench was pointlessly outscored by 8 points to seal a 28 point victory.

Game Stats: 10 Minutes, 1-3, 5 Points, 0 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 Block

Celtics 91 Bulls 81: DNP
Scals first Coach's DNP of the season. The Energy Beacon is down for a night and Doc apparently is shifting his trust to the younger guys on the bench.

Game Stats: Coach's DNP

Overall Week Performance: -7
The first negative week of the season, I'm shocked it took 6 weeks for the negative to occur but I would expect a few more coming the remainer of the season as Scals seems to only be getting burn when the game is all but over and KG, Pierce and Allen are resting on the bench.

Week Stats: 35 Minutes, 1-3, 5 Points, 0 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 Block

Overall Season Performance: +37
Scals first negative week of brought the +/- back down to the thirties but with his vastly decreasing pt it will be amazing if he struggles enough to ever go back to par for the course.

Season Stats:11 MPG, .349 FG%, 2.5 PPG, 1.7 RPG, 0.9 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...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
