The Scalabrine Watch Week 19, 20, & 21

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 Sonics 82: DNP

Celtics 92 Jazz 110: DNP

Celtics 99 Bucks 77: +4
Scalabrine actually in uniform and on the court for the first time in weeks and the last time in weeks. 2 assists and 2 rebounds in 6 minutes isn't all that bad. But he's a better cheerleader than player, so Doc has been using him in his more natural position.

Game Stats: 6 Minutes, 0-0, 1 Point, 2 Rebound, 2 Assists

Celtics 93 Spurs 91: DNP

Celtics 94 Rockets 74: DNP

Celtics 94 Mavericks 90: DNP

Celtics 106 Hornets 113: DNP

Celtics 90 76ers 95: DNP

Celtics 117 Suns 97: DNP

Celtics 112 Hornets 92: DNP

Celtics 88 Heat 62: DNP

Overall Period Performance: +4
In the span of three weeks, Scalabrine has only seen the floor one time. One measely game to which he had a +/- of positive 4. Yes one game in 3 weeks and he's making 3 million dollars. Why doesn't he atleast put on a cheerleaders outfit and start hucking the dancers in the air?

Weeks Stats: 6 Minutes, 0-0, 1 Point, 2 Rebounds, 2 Assists

Overall Season Performance: +27
With the DNPs coming full steam ahead it looks as if Scals will finish the season with a positive plus/minus. I can't decide whether I just want the DNPs to continue or if I want him to get a ton of PT over the last week of the season while the Cs rest Allen, Pierce and KG and hope that his +/- dips closer to par. We shall see what the Doctor orders.

Season Stats:10:18 MPG, .317 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...
