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

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.
