The Scalabrine Watch Week 7

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 90 Kings 78: -5
Scals got double digit minutes against the Kings and man did he take advantage of it. 2 free throws and one steal. An Epic performance.

Game Stats: 10 Minutes, 0-2, 2 Points, 0 Rebounds, 1 Steal, 0 Assists

Celtics 104 Bucks 82: -4
The Bucks somehow managed to stifle Scals from the field and shut him out completely. You really have to credit the Bucks for focusing on stopping the main weapon. Kind of similar to what the 49ers did in their loss to the Vikings when they held Peterson to 3 yards rushing.

Game Stats: 8 Minutes, 0-1, 0 Points, 0 Rebounds, 1 Assist

Celtics 90 Raptors 77: -5
Scals got those essential 2 points in the Celtics 90-77 victory over the Toronto Raptors. Who knows where they would have been without him on the court. Unfortunately his efforts were for naught apparently as he put up his 3rd negative of the week.

Game Stats: 2 Minutes, 1-1, 2 Points, 0 Rebounds, 0 Assists

Overall Week Performance: -14
Scals put in his least productive performances this week exactly when Truehoop and others were commenting on how he has become a fan favorite in Boston and is cheered whenever he touches the ball. Doc apparently is ignoring your cheers.

Week Stats: 20 Minutes, 1-4, 4 Points, 0 Rebounds, 1 Assist

Overall Season Performance: +23
Maybe I spoke to soon last week when I said I didn't think there was a way Scals could reach par this season. If Doc keeps on playing him only in the scrub minutes when the Celtics already have the games in the wraps

Season Stats:11 MPG, .340 FG%, 2.4 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.
