The Scalabrine Watch Week 17 & 18

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 118 Nuggets 124: DNP

Celtics 117 Warriors 119: DNP

Celtics 77 Suns 85: DNP

Celtics 112 Blazers 102: DNP

Celtics 104 Clippers 76: DNP

Celtics 92 Cavs 87: DNP

Celtics 108 Bobcats 100: DNP

Celtics 98 Hawks 88: DNP

Celtics 90 Pistons 78: DNP

Celtics 116 Bulls 93: -3
The long awaited return of Scalabrine ended with a negative +/- but one buried three. I'm certain he played a crucial role in their 23 point victory.

Game Stats: 8 Minutes, 1-2, 3 Points, 1 Rebound, 0 Assists

Celtics 119 Grizzlies 89: -6
A 30 point victory and Doc couldn't even spare more than 6 minutes for Scalabrine? Why was Doc so mean to the goofy red head? Shouldn't scrubs play in scrub time? PJ brown got 8 minutes.

Game Stats: 6 Minutes, 0-0, 0 Points, 1 Rebound, 0 Assists

Celtics 100 76ers 86: DNP

Overall Period Performance: -9
Since the All Star Break the Celtics wisely rested the injured Scalabrine. It was very crucial for him to get healthy for the stretch run, especially now with the reinforcements of PJ Brown and Sam Cassell brought in. I

Weeks Stats: 14 Minutes, 1-2, 3 Points, 1 Rebound, 0 Assists

Overall Season Performance: +23
Oh the DNPs that shall come in the future for Scalabrine. When will he actually be used other than out of reach blowouts? Will he even get enough playing time to sink his +/- to par?

Season Stats:10:24 MPG, .317 FG%, 1.9 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 0.7 APG

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...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
