The Scalabrine Watch Week 6

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 intense dislike of Brian Scalabrine, I am going to track the inept deadbeat in a weekly post called The Scalabrine Watch.

Celtics 113 76ers 103: -3
Scals got in for a whopping 2 minutes against the 76ers early in the week, to which he contributed absolutely no statistic. Not a point, not a rebound, Not a foul not a turnover, nothing. Zeros across the board.

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

Celtics 112 Nets 84: -4
The Celtics had this one in the bag going into the 4th with a 36 point lead. Thus Scals and the rest of the bench got a lot of burn in the 4th. The bench was pointlessly outscored by 8 points to seal a 28 point victory.

Game Stats: 10 Minutes, 1-3, 5 Points, 0 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 Block

Celtics 91 Bulls 81: DNP
Scals first Coach's DNP of the season. The Energy Beacon is down for a night and Doc apparently is shifting his trust to the younger guys on the bench.

Game Stats: Coach's DNP

Overall Week Performance: -7
The first negative week of the season, I'm shocked it took 6 weeks for the negative to occur but I would expect a few more coming the remainer of the season as Scals seems to only be getting burn when the game is all but over and KG, Pierce and Allen are resting on the bench.

Week Stats: 35 Minutes, 1-3, 5 Points, 0 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 Block

Overall Season Performance: +37
Scals first negative week of brought the +/- back down to the thirties but with his vastly decreasing pt it will be amazing if he struggles enough to ever go back to par for the course.

Season Stats:11 MPG, .349 FG%, 2.5 PPG, 1.7 RPG, 0.9 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...

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...
