The Scalabrine Watch Week 14-15

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 117 Heat 87: 15
How could you win the World Championship and within 2 years be so god damn bad? How?

Game Stats: 17 Minutes, 1-2, 1 Points, 5 Rebounds, 1 Assists

Celtics 96 Mavericks 90: -1
17 minutes without a single rebound is exactly what you want from your power forward.

Game Stats: 17 Minutes, 0-0, 0 Points, 0 Rebounds, 2 Assists

Celtics 113 Cavs 114: -3
The man is unstoppable. 5 points in a game must have commanded a constant double team.

Game Stats: 18 Minutes, 2-5, 5 Points, 1 Rebounds, 1 Assists

Celtics 111 Clippers 100: 1
Only 7 minutes? Doc must have seen better matchups this game.

Game Stats: 7 Minutes, 1-1, 3 Points, 1 Rebounds, 2 Assists

Celtics 88 Timberwolves 86: -1
19 minutes no points and yet he still finishes at only -1. Does he inspire teammates to pick up the slack when he's on the court. Is there a way to bottle this inspiration, and have a decent player on the court at the same time?

Game Stats: 19 Minutes, 0-3, 0 Points, 3 Rebounds, 0 Assists

Celtics 98 Spurs 90: 3
Airballs, travels, horrible passes. Every time you saw Scals on the court he was doing something embarrassing. Yet a positive 3. Amazing.

Game Stats: 16 Minutes, 1-5, 2 Points, 4 Rebounds, 0 Assists

Celtics 104 Pacers 97: 6
Of course he finishes of the scoring period with a solid +/-. But of course he only mildly contributed to the actual game.

Game Stats: 16 Minutes, 1-3, 3 Points, 2 Rebounds, 2 Assists

Overall Week Performance: +20
7 games and Scals averaged just over 2 points per contest in over 15 minutes per game. One basket per 15 minutes on the court and yet he finishes at +20. Unreal.

Weeks Stats: 110 Minutes, 6-9, 15 Points, 16 Rebounds, 8 Assists

Overall Season Performance: +37
And after a ridiculous week, led by a ridiculous +/- against Miami, Scals more than doubles his +/- seasonal total and looks pretty good for the remainder of the season in staying above 0.

Season Stats:10:35 MPG, .316 FG%, 1.9 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 0.8 APG

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
