Plan C: Scalabrine

Last year Scal had a injury plagued season but he impressed me over and over again. His 3Pt shooting was very efficient, and his defense was very impressive. Some highlight performances from our main man.


1/13/09:

Scal started at Center for Perkins against the Phoenix Suns. KG guarded Shaq and Brian was matched up against Amare Stoudemire for a big part of the game. I understand that we play a defense but anyone outside of Boston would pick Amare to have a dominating night.

Scali: 33mp, 2-8FG, 4Pts, 0-0FT, 2Reb, 2Ast, 1Blk, 0Stl, 0to's
Amare: 30mp, 0-7FG, 3Pts, 3-4FT, 1Reb, 0Ast, 1Blk, 0Stl, 4to's



Scal also only had 15To's all season.

This actually shows alot of the good things he does while he's on the floor, esspecially in "crunch time"


Scal is a decent backup for PP, and an excellent 4th Big for this team.

Except when paired with Rasheed, whose a floor spacer himself, I'd prefer a banger/rebounder type like Powe, whom Scal is not. I think Scal could at least decently soak up some minutes at the 3 spot, but we need a better option at the 4.

i think scal can give them a good utility guy..i want scal around...still think we need a big body to pair with him but scal can contribute

My thoughts exactly. TP.

[Who]

I'd like to keep Scal as the fifth big, in a utility player role.

A guy who can come in and fill whatever hole the frontcourt has.

82games.com shows that a lineup of Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Scalabrine, Perkins is one of our most efficient linups.

Obviously its becuase of Rondo/Ray/Paul being there but its actually better in some stats than a lineup of RR,Ray,PP,KG,Scal...

Our FG% goes up while OppFg% goes down, our Reb% goes up, and our TO's go down.

Also our two best Win% lineups both include Scal. (they're the lineups listed above) We come out ahead 80% and 85% of the time that he's on the floor with the starters. (our Starting 5 has a Win% of 72.5%)

but what you want from a bench player is someone that can be good even when he's out there with the rest of the bench... not when he's rooming with the All-Stars.

The bench needs to be built to compliment the starters, not be a separate team.  


Scali does a great job of that.

i totally agree, i think he's just as good as alot of the players we've been talking about signing. He doesn't do good by going out and scoring all these points, he's good becuase he's efficiant when he shoots both 3's and FT's, and he makes smart decisions.

He might not have played in alot of finals games but he's been on 3 teams that have gotten there.

hmmmmm... rather than plan "C" wouldnt scal have to be ranked by using the "on beyond zebra" alphabet?

you know, something such as "scal is plan FLOOB (Floob-Boober-Bab-Boober-Bubs)!"

or give one of these a try.

if we get BBD, Scal will be the 5th big/ 3rd string SF.

Oh come on, who expected Scal to do that?
No really, he does look pretty bad though.

Plan D: Free stationary bikes for the team.

[cornbreadsmart]

all i want out of scal is for him to work on his body justba little. or curb his diet just a little bit. i want the best scal possible. i would get off his back if he did this.
