The Scalabrine Watch: November to Remember

It's the second season of the Scalabrine Watch which is meant to point out just how terrible he is as a basketball player. It shall track both his typical numbers as well as his +/- which the signifies the total number of points the Celtics lose while he is on the court.

It's been a massive football month so I've slacked hardcore on the Scalabrine watch. Sue me. Anyway, I'll be doing the Scals watch on a monthly basis and it shall feature more of a wrap up than game by game analysis like last year. Perhaps if I get bored after football it will return to last years weekly format.

November Sum Up

2008-2009 Started off with a bang for Scals, he got a DNP. He followed up with 6 impressive minutes at a -13 clip way to go Scals. Then the DNPs came in at a furious pace with 6 of the next 7 games having Scals play the cheerleader role on the sideline.

Since the string of DNPs Scals has played in 8 straight for the Celtics all Green wins. He's had one game of note against the Knicks (does that count?) in which he contributed and started because KG was suspended. He had a season high in minutes (21), points (8), rebounds (3), assists (1) and blocks (1). That's full ranging production. Other than that its been a decent amount of PT in blowouts with no PT above 15 minutes, no point totals above 5 and no rebound totals above 1. In the last Celtic victory against the Bobcats, the closest outside of the Knicks game where he was basically forced to play, Scals only got 2 minutes of burn and recorded two stats, a foul and a turnover.

Overall November Performance: -21

Overall Scals ranks in at a solid -21. It all heavily circles around his first appearance of the season when he went a whopping -13, ouch. The rest of the season has been up and down with the biggest up coming against the Knicks when he actually made a big shot (who knew).

November Totals: 115 Minutes, 30 Points, 11-22 FG, 7-13 3s, 1-2 FTs, 9 Rebounds, 5 Assists, 2 Turnovers, 0 Steals, 2 Blocks

November Averages: 10 Minutes, 2.73 Points, 1-2 FG, .64-1.18 3s, .09-.18 FTs, .64 Rebounds, .45 Assists, .18 Turnovers, 0 Steals, .18 Blocks

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.
