The Scalabrine Watch Week 12

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 dislike of Brian Scalabrine, I am going to track he's performance in a weekly post called The Scalabrine Watch. 3 Million a year for what?

Celtics 100 Trailblazers 90: DNP

Celtics 116 76ers 89: 2
Scals +2 performance in this blowout of the 76ers directly reflects the two free throws he made. Good for Scals, without those 2 points the Celtics would have been hard pressed to win.

Game Stats: 5 Minutes, 0-0, 2 Points, 0 Rebounds, 0 Assists

Celtics 109 Knicks 93: -8
MLK day was not too kind to Scals +/-. Scals once again sank his two free throws and even added a rebound and an assist however while on the court the Cs were outscored by 8 points.

Game Stats: 5 Minutes, 0-0, 2 Points, 1 Rebound, 1 Assist

Overall Week Performance: -6
A 100% completely shotless week for Scals. Nice to see that in three games Doc put the hammer down and said no shooting for you unless you get fouled in the process. So Scals went 4-4 from the free throw line in 10 minutes of PT and once again decreased his seasonal +/-.

Weeks Stats: 10 Minutes, 0-0, 4 Points, 1 Rebound, 1 Assist

Overall Season Performance: +13
Scals is for the most receiving only scrub time in the past month and this is directly affecting his overall +/-. At the pace he's been going on he could be in the negative zone in a matter of weeks.

Season Stats:9 MPG, .316 FG%, 1.9 PPG, 1.2 RPG, 0.8 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...
