The Scalabrine Watch Week 16

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 111 Knicks 103: -5
Thanks to KG missing out for hopefully the last time, Scals got one last start before the all star game. And the start was pretty much it. He played a whopping 2 minutes and 37 seconds the entire game despite starting. Which begs the question, what the hell was he starting for anyway?

Game Stats: 3 Minutes, 0-1, 0 Points, 1 Rebound, 0 Assists

Overall Week Performance: -5
It being a half week and me being a bit slow on the uptick last week meant only one game for Scals for his final game before the all star break. Thus the same wonderful stats he had against the Knicks.

Weeks Stats: 3 Minutes, 0-1, 0 Points, 1 Rebound, 0 Assists

Overall Season Performance: +32
At the midway point of the season Scalabrine sits at a surprising +32. This ironically matches the Celtics Win/Loss margin of 32 games over .500 (41-9). The season started on a strong note with Scals and then slowly started to disapate into several DNPs. However, thanks to the injuries to KG and Perk Scals has seen a string of starts and has been bolstered by some huge +s including the whooping of the Heat prior to the Marion deal. And thus at the All Star break Scals sits at +32 to despite very minimal output while on the court.

But fear not fellow Scalabrine haters, with KG and Perk coming after the break, starting tonight, one would expect those DNPs to start ramping up again. And thus we will be relieved of any more useless starts and useless minutes like that of last weeks matchup against the Knicks.

Season Stats:10:30 MPG, .316 FG%, 1.9 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 0.8 APG

He got hurt the game against the knicks thats the reason for the 2min 37 sec and he is most likely out for the west coast trip, but fear not he was on the bench last night rocking a sweet maroon sports coat w/ jeans.

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.
