Official Brian Scalabrine Worship Thread

woah he actually looks kind of savage there

needs some knickers
and a wee pipe

i seriosuly think they keep him around boston for his irish looks

lord knows he cant play bball

i kind of want to date him. is that wrong?

dannyL, did you know the celtics have a dance team this year? a girl i went to high school with is on it

i think lucky is just a sideshow act this season :(

oh contrair monfrair, its so right.

airbrushed legz.

fuckin' loser. The Celtics are going to suck ass this year... once again...

HE PLAYS AWESOME!!!!


........when he never touches the ball ever
please don't touch the ball scalla

aurbachs last request was that scala carry the team to their 17th championship.

YOU JEALOUS PUNKS CAN"T STOP MY DUNKS!!!$$$$$$$$$$

Pretty much all his highlight phots on google image search are from when he played on other teams.

This is gonna sound crazy, but for a while last year he was arguably the C's best defender. There were at least a half dozen games in which some opponent's best player was absolutely lighting it up in the first half, and then they brought in Scal to cover him for the 3rd quarter and all of a sudden the guy was doing nothing. Happened too many times for me to feel like it was pure coincidence.

His 3rd quarter defensive efforts shutting down players can be explained by this. The player Scal is defending is so horrified to be within feet of him, that it changes the psychological game. It's gets in his head. What's more Scal's unorthodox style is hard to score against. You never know what he's going to do. People don't get his mental game. It's wrapped up in his whole looke. Other players get freaked when they have to deal with him.

I think he should start some fights this year. He could be a pretty awesome Goon off the bench. Maybe he should study some Bill Lambeer tapes?

dude. omfg. i figured it out.

scalabrine is an undercover cop.

that would rule
he should get thrown out of games
just to fire the team up

he's such a NARC it's not even funny

this thread is making me crack up

Yeah that's what I'm saying. Goon it up a little. A little blood on the floor=Fire in the heart.

I'd also be willing to pay 49.95 pay per view to see him Scal bare knuckle box Chris Caymen for 12 rounds.

Camby: "where u gon run to Kaman?"

Next time we play the Heat I'm pretty sure Scalibrine is going to get inside SHAQ's head and drop like 25 points on him. SHAQ will get frustrated, drop a hard foul on Scal, and then we'll finally see Scalabrine become uncaged. His inner warrior will explode.

DUDE IS NO JOKE. LOOKS LIKE KLAUS KINSKI

inner warriors were meant to explode, like the great stars of jupiter -- shaqs time has come. his body cant handle the psychic abuse that scalabrine will be deploying this year. scalabrine is Rasputinesque.

Somebody should contact Scalabrine about his Personal apperance fee. It should be low enough that we could get him to hang out at Great Scott for a night.

i wasthinking more obriens...

That's true. He might seem kind of out of place at any bar that isn't O'briens.

did you know that scala runs a dunk camp for innercity youth? for 2 weeks he just dunks on them

Yeah he has to dunk on Inner City Youth. It's part of the Psychological game. It just helps improve the idea that is just crazy as shit, and that you don't want to have to deal with him. It will all come to fruition when he drops a two-handed 360 dunk on Shaq in the playoffs.

It will all come to fruition when he drops a two-handed 360 dunk on Shaq in the playoffs.

OMG U R A GOD

Early Prediction: This will become one of the most read/replied threads in all of B.L.T.

he reviews movies on his blog, he gave the chronicles of narnia a "B+"

I was trying to find away to e-mail him so encourage him to Blog more. I'd like to see 3 or 4 a week from him. Primarly about how he played each night and what movies he watches in his Hotel room. And pretty much anyting involving pop culture.

From Wikipedia:

Brian David Scalabrine (born March 18, 1978 in Long Beach, California) is an American professional basketball player in the NBA. He was selected out of the University of Southern California by the New Jersey Nets with the 35th pick of the 2001 NBA Draft.

Nicknamed "Veal", he languished on the Nets bench for his first few years as the team's twelfth man and only logged in minimal minutes during the season. In 2005 though, with the Nets plagued by injuries, he stepped up and logged decent minutes, averaging 6.3 points and 4.5 rebounds a game. Scalabrine's crowning moment as a Net came in Game 5 of the 2004 NBA Semifinals between the Nets and the Detroit Pistons. In the game's three overtimes, he drained four unlikely three pointers for 12 of his 17 points, helping the Nets stave off elimination.

Scalabrine signed a five-year contract with the Boston Celtics on August 2, 2005 worth 15 million dollars.

i co-sign on spamming scalabrine until he either A. starts posting here or B. ups his blog entry count to 2-3 a day. i am going to write him on behalf of the board, and include this thread as a sort of 'key to the city'.

i hope he starts posting and then we fall in love

LOL @ "VEAL"

Danny If you find away to contact him please pass it along.

What's the word on Scalibrine contact? Apperance Fee's?

...and when is he gonna play?

im in negotiations with his agent. and by agent i mean Eric Montross.

TALL N SWEET

By InsideHoops.com / April 17, 2004

Game One of the New Jersey Nets vs. New York Knicks first round 2004 NBA playoffs series took place in Jersey. The Nets won handily by a score of 107-83. Brian "Veal" Scalabrine played just four minutes yet he shot three-of-three and grabbed a rebound, finishing with seven points, including a three at the halftime buzzer. InsideHoops.com spoke with Scalabrine after the game.

Question: Talk about what you saw out there, what you liked about the Nets tonight and what you did.

Brian Scalabrine: I liked our defensive energy in the second half. They obviously shot the ball well, and Stephon Marbury's a talent, but our coaches did a good job with what we wanted to do and our players executed. We have great athletes and great players, so hopefully we can continue to do this throughout the whole series.

Question: You guys ran a lot. You ran like crazy tonight.

Brian Scalabrine: We could have ran more, I thought. We were running like crazy, but we weren't actually finishing all of our fast breaks. When we get there, to the point where we need to be, we'll execute our fast breaks at a much higher percentage. Today, we had some turnovers, had some missed shots, some missed layups, but I think that we're going to get there. And playoffs are different, obviously it's more intense, so once we get that adjustment... We got to be glad we got the win today. We nailed off 11 in a row against Eastern conference teams, and I think that's an NBA record, so we just want to keep building on that.

Question: To what extent are the playoffs more intense than regular season games? I mean, obviously you can watch and see it's much more intense, but, do the tougher regular season games even compare to the average playoff game?

Brian Scalabrine: The best way to describe it, is, it is intense like Indiana, or Los Angeles Lakers, here, with three minutes to go - how intense that is for the last three minutes - multiply that by the whole entire game. That's how playoffs are. How do you explain the intensity of the playoffs. Well, you know how the arena just builds at the end of the game? It's like that for the whole entire game.

i'm going to the game tonight and will pay special attention to veal on the sidelines. i wonder who he talks to now that dickau is gone.

i know! i wonder the same thing. there are barely any dorky white guys on the team for him to hang out with these days

i feel bad. i bet he and wally are forging a beautoful friendship

rizzeye take careful notes, please. we need all the ammo we can get.

If he's not talking Pitsnoggle than he is rolling deep with Pierce. I think Scal and Paul hit the clubs together.

How do you think Brian will vote on Tuesday?

democrat.

awww, not the ignore script! c'mon!

scal 4 healey 06

do you think scal is friends with PAPI?

brad - i don't really know how to break this to you. in fact, its a little awkward if you don't know already. pitts-to-the-noggle was cut by the Cs. i know, i know....these are tough days, and hard times.

Scal and Wally need to have a dunk-off. winner gets to go to the clubs with all the rest of the team. loser has to be the white guy with no friends. as soon as scal finishes rehabbing his shoulder (hopefully sometime in 2012), this should happen.

No, I knew that Luke, I just figured that Scal would txt Pittsnoggle from his Sidekick while on the bench, and Pittsnoggle would send him links to Progressive White Power Websites.

Scal to Pitts text: Did it hurt to get tattoos? I want to get this really neat one of a basketball with a net below it, but I'm scared it would hurt.

Pittsnoggle doesn't have an accurate opinion about whether tatoos hurt though, because he clearly got his in prison.

OMG THE SAVIOUR IS HERE. EVERYBODY GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO MR USERNAME LUCASP!

Same place as his dentistry and haircut. *Sigh* I miss him so bad. Scal needs cornrows.

sometimes i slum it, when thoughts turn to basketball.

Why did Noggle get cut? Is he going somehere else?

Try to answer succinctly. This thread is aloud tangents but we need to bring it back to Scalabrine on the regular.

aloud=allowed. I have a half a brain. LD anybody?

DEEEEFENSE.

DEEEEFENSE.


DEEEEFENSE.


DEEEEFENSE.

i think he got cut because of conditioning, and because he's basically a hillbilly lafrentz. weak defender. only real nba skill is outside shooting. he could fit in on other teams, but slow, weak, big dudes with no inside game aren't in the game plan. plus, with all the young talent, there's no spots. i don't know if he's caught on anywhere, but check the D-league rosters.

it all comes back to Scal, but Noggs is like his brother in arms. its like Chapelle and Wayne Brady saying 'black actors.'

"White ballers, man."
"White ballers."

Pittsnoggle would have brought a cool criminal element to the Celtics game. I think Scalabrine could have learned a lot of having a tougher look if they had kept Noggle around. Also Scal would have learned a lot about West Virgnina which I think is important.

Snoggle cant pronounce his fucking Rs

i wouldn't be opposed to sending Scal on a trip of cultural growth, to West Virginia. He could work in a mine, or something. Then, he could be the first NBA player to sit out a few seasons with black lung.

"slow, weak, big dudes with no inside game aren't in the game plan" ---LucasP


Good thing Scalabrine has so many intangibles.

LOLOMG

scalabrine is the mind of the machine. ainge has been studying his brainwaves and has grafted them unto young rondo, who has the body and the talent, but simply lacks the sort of joi de spiritual fortitude that veal ostensibly engineered in his first season with the nets.
the future is upon us?

Scal makes 3 million a year. He must suck a mean dick. Same intangibles as Jeter.

it would have been hilarious to send delonte to west virginia to hang out with the pittsnogle family for a week. i hope they got tight over the summer.

they better keep scal's brainwaves away from Rondo's.

Whoa. Don't be Harshing on Scals Mellow Lucas. He's just trying to make a buck like the rest of us. I have a feeling that Scal is going to be motivated by the death of Red Auerbach this season and it will culminate with the 360 dunk on SHAQ in the playoffs. Probably when Red died most of his Life Force went into Scalabrine.

lucasp, you bring the stark VEALity to this thread, which i can apreciate, but this is a 'worship' thread... keep that in mind.

Yeah it's like what if Ainge read this and took it to heart and cut Scal? Then he wouldn't have any money to take his wife out to dinner at CHILI's and to get a Playstation 3 for christmas.

yah d00d we're trying to populate this thread with scala positivity so that he may one day join into the knowledge praxis and complete the holy trinity that brad outlined in section 4.06: Veal Destiny.

granted, red's life-force was that of a nearly-immobile 89 year old man on an oxygen tank.

i can worship the man, while wanting the player to continue to wear a suit on the bench. i'm very versatile in my worship. NBA contracts are guaranteed. he would still get his money, while supplanting that income with appearances as a michael rappaport look-alike. i'd buy his wife playstation 4 if the Cs could get out of that contract.....i mean, let's make Scal the team manager. like in high school sports. That is where his skills would be best utilized.

Then, it would set up the inevitable injury to a starter in the playoffs, and Scal would be activated to save the day. Like Rodney Dangerfield's son in back to school.

A man's lifeforce has nothing to do with the physical stature of his body. Haven't you ever seen Star Wars?

NBA contracts are guaranteed. he would still get his money, while supplanting that income with appearances as a michael rappaport look-alike.

COURTVISION

Do you think Scal get's his suits at Men's Warehouse? or at Filene's Basement?

Shaq would absolutely have to retire in shame if Scal 360 dunked on him in the playoffs. and, if they get to the playoffs, i'm down for whatever role Scal wants.

i'll be more positive in my worship.

Bernie And Phils. He brings a jack knife.

Filene's Warehouse.

no lucas, i see the err of my ways. i cant steer you towards the light, you'll find it yourself. be who YOU ARE. <3. i love you so much.

i think he probably has them custom made form one of those former NBA playing, enterprising , big and tall guy with a few ounces of fashion and biz sense dudes who has his own custom dress wear companies

you know the type who wear like purple suits with vests and fedoras? thats kind of the look he had going on on wed

Scalabrine thread breeds man love between heterosexual roomates. This is some positive shit.

Mutombo's Furniture Outlet

when we're married, ill pick out his clothes. don't worry guys

i bet he is the type of guy to wear holiday themed joe boxers. what do you think?

He probably digs through Shaq's garbage and has them altered since Shaq doesn't wear anything more than once.

I think I saw Scal rocking some TWIZM gear when I saw him at a 3 Doors Down concert.

also i bet he is the type of guy who walks around the locker room naked having serious convos with people as if he's wearing clothes

HE WEARS NETS BOXERS, STILL TO THIS DAY.

scalabrine just got a NEW IPOD

OMG

FRANKLY IM SURPRISED HE DOESN'T HAVE A REEBOK PUMP ENDORSEMENT

Red Pubes are an important part of any Celtics Locker Room

i wonder if he manscapes

TMI?

once the red holy trinity is completed, we'll have all the answers! just hang on.

i hope nba.com put his playlists online like the NYtimes did with george bush

hes kind of a one album at a time guy. like when he got really into The Bodyguard sountrack, that like ALL he listened to for 2 weeks.

it's probably "final countdown" like 200 times, plus a few sinatras for special occasions.

brad, Scal shaves bare, man. he keeps it nice down there.

Cedric Maxwell could hook him up with clothes......but he won't.

you cant make this stuff up

Jay Z? too bad he didn't stay with the nets. those are some 'out there' picks for favorite players. i bet Babe Ruth is his favorite baseball player.

scalabrine contains multitudes.

I imagine that if Scal ever has a career ending injury that Jigga would probably hire him either as a VP over at DefJam or as GM of the Nets.

rizzeye - 11/03/06 at 04:47 pm (63.172.12.36)
scalabrine contains multitudes.

thats one of the first laws of the RHT.

RHT is more powerful than those three stones from Temple of Doom.

you know -- this is all i know about RHT:

some sort of agreement of pact was made between Red and Veal before Red's passing. It involved a series of promises, and a mission: to complete the red holy trinity. its speculation but i believe that veal's season is devoted to this quest, and this thread is somehow implicated. brad believes that there are 4 horsemen: RED/AINGE/BIRD/SCALABRINE/

I'm also guessing that this thread might be the third side of the triangle, Red and Veal being the others.

There's also a goblet. But I don't know whats up with it yet. We're only at the very beginning of a fantastic journey.

I think the Goblet comes into play when Scalabrine get s a Sparxxx sponsorship.

phew, i was afraid matt bonner might be involved.

i'm off to drink (power up) before the game. it's too bad they don't let you get close to the players anymore. i wonder what scal smells like - this would be potentially important information.

crunk juice sponsorship.

grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate milk. its a manly scent.

$15 million say he's in negotions with CRUNK!!!! as we type this



BRIAN SCALABRINE ON: Adjusting to life in Los Angeles after growing up in the small community of Enumclaw, Wash. (population, 8,750): "I was like, ‘What am I doing here?' I was driving around L.A., and cars were just zooming past me. I was just trying to get acclimated, go to school and play basketball. But it's never that simple, is it? Nobody in the world just goes to school and plays basketball. You have to learn how to find the grocery store. You have to learn how to find the post office. You have to learn everything about life that has been taken care of for you for your whole life. Suddenly, I was on my own in Los Angeles. It's huge. There are like 150 freeways here. I had no idea where to go."

Scal smells like a mixture of Old Spice,Baloney,a wet dog, whatever woman he just had sex with, but it's still like the best smell you've ever smelled. Way better than like a Christmas tree or Thanksgiving Dinner.

I DONT WANT TO UPSET ANYONE ON THIS RELAXING FRIDAY BUT

GET A LOAD OF THIS :(

bench John Martinez.

we should sign him up for porn spam, at the least

i think they should just retire 44 right now, for Scal. Danny won't mind. that would create a dilemma, if Scal ever needs to play, but i'm willing to risk it.

double 4 is the new double 0

I just signed the petition but only in protest and linked this thread.

Retiring his number now makes sense because he is in a class of his own, and he is a living legend.

Enumclaw will be the official band of the Church of Scala

i am going to make a sign for the game next wednesday that reads:

PUT IN DA SCALAWAG!!!!

Drisky, While you are there, please wait in the parking lot and follow Scalabrine home so we know how to get in touch with him.

Sign Idea=A+$$$

my sign is going to say
"0-3
GIVE SCALA MINUTES
"

I think we should bring in Vladi Divac as a bigman coach for Scal. Teach him some "shake and bake" passes.

a Scalamander

teach him how to smoke

SPIRITUS DU WARRIOR CELTIC

I saw Scalabrine in NJ circa 2k2ish. So hilarious when the people went nuts for him when he was off the bench for the last 5 minutes of the game.

wtf wtc?

for the record, scalabrine has a really good mind for the game. but yeah he still isnt very productive and doesnt fit into the system well. but certainly good to have around for development of other players.


GOING ALL THE WAY THIS YEAR

Please Elaborate on Scalabrine's mind for the game. I am fascinated by what goes on inside his mind.

SCAL 4 DOC 06

i think i scared bramhall when i started screaming "SCAL HEAD! SCAL HEAD" when he briefly walked across the camera lens last night. then i rewound the shot a few times to check out his outfit

jeans, navy blue blazer, white shirt no tie. i wish he could just wear WARM UPS or at least a green tie

today i bought an al jefferson jersey off the clearence rack at TJ maxx. it's the home uniform but instead of green, the letters are all camo

maybe if i wear it for the next game the c's wont CHOKE in the 4th

Maybe the Celtics should have camo jerseys.

maybe it would help their D

hey Dallas hasn't won yet either

Maybe the Celtics should shoot a short film that's just a dinner conversation between Brian Scalabrine and Manute Bol. Use it as a defensive weapon in the 4th quarter.

they should have a movie of scaldog trying to get a haircut in roxbury playing on the big screens during the closing 15 mins.

hahahah new celtics commercial

scal, rondo, lucky and telfair in four chairs at a barber shop getting line ups

"...and you should love him way more than you hate him"
-50 Cent on Scalabrine

they should have scal play the celtics logo cut-out, one on one, for a commercial. it might be good for his confidence. unless, of course....he lost.

the one time i remembered to look at scal, he was talking to a ballboy.

i was reading the herald when i was at the bar 20 mins ago and they had the following to say about the season:

It may be terribly early in the season, but they’ve been terrible early and now they have to deal with it.

:(

sad and true. i'm still trying holding to the idea that we won't know what this team is until 15 or 20 games in. not that i'm good at being patient, because i've been yelling at the t.v. pretty much constantly. Scal will shine through all adversity, though.

its true, he has been yelling at the TV. but its sort of comforting to hear from the lonely confines of my study.

i have also been yelling at the TV. can you hear me from your study?

maybe i should come over again and yell at your TV. or you could come over to my house and listen to me yell at my TV. either way, im wearing my jefferson jersey and screaming and yelling

I figure about 20 games in most sport's writers will universally agree that Scalabrine is clearly the result of the bio engineering of the DNA of Horace Grant and Charles Barkely with the skin tone of Larry Bird.

dont ask im totally down for more celtics action. perhaps the friday game? im going to be at the garden on wed night

DannyL. It is imperative, I repeat Imperative that you take a photo documentary of your trip to the celtics game and post the pictures in this thread.

and they went to the finals

chin up fans

GO CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!

When is Menino going to give Scalabrine the keys to the city?

maybe they'll bring M.L. back, so the team can tank, and then have the best chance to get Greg Oden. then, the ping pong balls will go crazy, and the celtics will get the 3rd pick, and they'll choose someone good. and then patino will trade that good player (future nba finals mvp) for some chump and HE'LL RUIN THE NEXT 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE LIKE HE RUINED THE LAST 5 YEARS! sorry. M.L. coaching brings up bad, bad memories. good thing Scal doesn't know how to tank. pedal to the floor all day, for that cat.

ummm
i think i speak for everyone
when i say
"TOO SOON LUCASP!"

too soon to bring up painful memories, or did you actually think i wanted the Cs to tank another season? i would probably be dead before the all-star game, from the stress of watching them lose. nba heart attacks are fantastic. i still think this team will be pretty good this year.

we lived the same broken dream

Scalabrine is working on a re-write of the "I have a dream speech". In it he dreams one day he'll get to drink cristal with Pierce and get 30+ minutes a game.

i keep picturing #34 covered in champagne, smoking a cigar, with the same look on his face that larry had for his first championship. that image almost makes me want to cry -- i want it to happen so bad.

.................................Green: Off the Banners, Nothing But Dunk............................................
What started out as a joking bet between Brian Scalabrine and Gerald Green turned into one of the one of the craziest things you'll ever see after practice, and if it could be replicated, a first ballot Hall of Fame dunk contest winning slam.

Scalabrine and Green were talking about dunks after Tuesday's practice wrapped up, and Green jokingly threw the ball about 30 feet up the wall behind the basket and watched it drop to the floor, measuring with his eyes where it landed. After Allan Ray tried the same thing, Scalabrine told Green he'd have three chances to convert the dunk off the wall for $100.

Standing behind the three point line in the right elbow area of the court, Green tossed the ball off the bottom of 1986 NBA Championship banner, which hangs about 35 feet over the floor, and when the ball came back to the floor, Green elevated from just outside the free throw lane, caught it of the bounce with his right hand, grabbed the rim with his left, and tomahawked the ball through the rim, sending the gym into hysterics.

Scalabrine just fell backwards to the floor while Green walked out of the gym slapping high-fives with players and media members.

"You cheated," said Scalabrine. "You grabbed the rim."

"I would have hit my face on it," replied Green.

Sadly, there is no video footage. You'll have to take our word for it.
.................................................................................................... ....................
Here's some Scalabrine related news. I think that this has got to be spin and it was actually Scal who did the off the wall dunk. He's probably been getting DNP's to practice these moves for when the C's meet the Heat in the playoffs. Imagine it--Celtics down one, the ball comes to Scal on the fast break, he throws it off the 1986 (coincidence???) Championship banner, 360 dunk in Shaq's face.

A GREEN AMONGST MEN

doc says g-money is going to play more, soon.

really? that would make it more fun to watch i think.

i feel like dudes are going to get traded this year... prolly tony Allen /delonte ??

not West
please!

his back hurts
lets not freak out

dude rules

Yeah, I think they will try to open up the wing position. Right now they got:
Pierce
West
Allen
Szerbiack
Green

I hope Allen's the one to go. It could be Delonte, too, but I hope not.

I love prison girlfriend too, but comeon. hes always getting injured. what if we can trade him and wally and a pick for MATRIX?
this is my ongoing celtics fantasy that will never come true. i love shawn marion

there probably will be a trade this year. wally's probably on the block. tony allen is definitely expendable, but i'm not sure anyone wants him anymore. i'd disown danny if he got rid of delonte or gerald.

geralds not going anywhere

Yeah, I would be OK with them trading Delonte, I just love the guy. Anybody read his valentine's day interview from last year where he talked about how "Cristal tastes like urination" and how he would take his baby to Pop-eye's chicken?

Matrix would be sick, definitely. I just dunno if West/Szerbiak would be enough. They'd probably want Al, too, and I'm still into Jefferson. I've been pretty happy that he's been putting up a consistent 12 pts / 7 rebounds a game so far this season.

marion would rule, but a) i doubt the suns would part with him now that they (seem too) have their financial situation stabilized, and b) i think they've filled their perimeter shooter quota for now.

there was preseason talk about boozer, but that was before anyone thought the jazz would win 4 games in a row this year, let alone at the start.

I'm still hoping that Kevin McHale is still loyal to the C's and we can snag KG at the trade deadline. I would be OK with them trading anyone besides Pierce for the Big Ticket.

Delonte's Valentine

"Sit down and have some dinner, some shrimps and steaks, keep it nice and breezy. Pop some bottles, some Moet Rose. The red Moet, we ain't popping no Kristal, it tastes like urination. We ain't popping no Kris, that's $500 a bottle. It ain't that serious. It ain't going to get you drunk. Make sure you put that in there. We ain't doing a $500 bottle, we're doing a $99 wine and dine."

guys, remember when green got the first tommy point of the season scrambling on the floor for the ball and then it turned into a crucial basket? that was great

i <3 delonte. i want to have his babies

i have a 15% off coupon for the pro shop. how much is a scala jrrrrzy and can cozy?

When I saw how long this thread was I figured you guys got him to post. Way to not have done that.

i'll throw a bottle of old spice down to the bench with the board URL taped to the side!

"we ain't popping no Kristal, it tastes like urination."

they have parrish celts jesey cozys at city sports.


at least they did last seaosn!! they are awesome and i recommend everyone buy one

Getting Scal to post is a long term project. The season has to progress a little more so that he's actually got something to talk about. We need him to get on this thing and peak around the trade deadline or the playoffs.

i want him posting via sidekick from the bench



n'ameen?

Somebody start a paypal fund and we will hire Scal as a court side reporter.

has anyone else been fairly impressed with sebaston telfair? i mean, aside from being shot at by the fabalous crew, dude can ball

i think he shot AT the fabulous crew

i think prolly scala could skoola seb telfair if he really had to. thoughts?

er uh yeah .....totaly

Scalabrine wrote the Fabulous line "Yeah I got a record deal but I sell weed too..." Scala moves a lot of bud to other NBA players so he was able to Ghostwrite that shit while he was on the Nets because it was true.

He only seels strains of the cannabis cup.

i predicted a breakout year for bassy, and still think i could end up rocking his jersey by year's end. stay out of jail, man, and run the point. he and rondo, i hope, will be a real solid duo at point.

Can I get some legit reports of how Scal has looked on teh court this week? Can't seem to get good reception on Celtics games in Philly.

i'll give you a report after 2nite. drisky and ben and i are gonna get scala'd

i'm taking these dogs to the harp = aka norm central!

you boys need to bring the positive energy, tonight. i had a dream last night that they lost to the bobcats, and it really pissed me off. i have a problem if i'm dreaming about game 4 of the season, and then letting it bum me out all day....up until rumsfeld stepped down. Scal for Secretary of D-FENSE........D-FENSE......D-FENSE.....

$#@%$#@...from boston.com

Celtics forward Al Jefferson underwent an emergency appendectomy this
afternoon, according to Celtics executive director of basketball
operations Danny Ainge.

Jefferson experienced severe stomach pain overnight and attended this
morning's shootaround at Health Point in Waltham, but upon arrival,
trainer Ed Lacerte sent Jefferson immediately to a hospital.

Ainge did not place a timetable on Jefferson's return, though the
forward will be out at least 2-3 weeks. This is another setback for
Jefferson, who is hoping to have a breakout season after suffering a
pair of ankle injuries last season and undergoing surgery Aug. 3.

Luke-
Scalabrine for secretary of D-FENSE is the highlight of this thread. You truly understand, and have emboldened it's spirit.


With Al Jefferson laid up playing play station and drinking Hawaiin Punch, S.C.A.L. is likely to see some more minutes.
This is the beginning of the rise of the RHT, it's also very curious that their was such a big shift in american politics and world leader ship at the same time. Clearly the stars are aligned so the the Scalabrine Phoenix may begin to rise.

brad's double post was an intentional homage to Scal's inevitable double-double, a monster post game, coming soon.

Scal also ghost-wrote Ice Cube's "Today was a good Day". Hence the Triple-Double line. Once again speaking from experience playing ball in Compton.

yeah, in between USC games, Scal was big on the rap scene.

HOW IS THIS THREAD NOT POPULATED WITH POSTGAME HIGHLIGHTS???

Scala drained a 3 tonight, it was incredible. one single tear roled down ben's cheek - i had never seen a tough guy crumble like that in my life.

I watched scala's sideline movements carefully; it appears that he stands when others sit, and sits when others stand. He and Gerald Green are BFFs and were the first ones out at the end of half time to warm up. Scala wears his warmup shirt tucked into his warmup pants; which doesn't seem to phase Gerald Green. I think its because their love isn't superficial.. you know?

Scala was the first guy back on D every time. He plays full court defense regardless of Doc's orders. He almost took Adam Morrison's head off while boxing out. Also his boxing out style is incredibly 'assy' imo. He really gets it in there.

in conclusion, THE VEAL IS REAL. More reports from Drisky, if he is still alive. We were walking through the rough and tumble alleyways of north station when he just simply dissapeared into the fog. The last thing i heard him say was something regarding the possibility of Breeny being able to dematerialize and reappear as entities or elements... i hope u made it home safe buddy.

danny that just made me crack up

please make more of these in the future

that's a photo of scal's 3 (flash bulbs popping off all over the stadium kinda washed it out.) basically, because the C's only won by 2 points, scal's 3 was a critical piece of C's offense.. without which, we would have lost the game.

he's modest and hardly plays at all during the 4th quarter to let other players get the glory.

i am looking for a photo of his first personal foul.

ummmm BREAKING NEWS... this morning on WEEI Doc Rivers said the following regarding Breeny:

"When he becomes Magic Johnson, that's when he gets into trouble."

Basically, confirming kevin and I's suspicions THAT SCALA IS IN FACT A SHAPESHIFTER!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!

There's a sub context here as well regarding celtics/lakers rivalry I believe; whilst I think Scala might be thinking he's giving the team an edge when he 'becomes' Magic Johnson, Doc Rivers recognizes that ultimately its going against the grain of history and tradition in a way that maybe he's a little uncomfortable with?

he must spend all his energy looking like magic johnson, and it costs him his athletic ability, and get's him into said trouble.

BOSTON GLOBE, Nov 9, 2006:

"Scalabrine sits on the bench, knuckles white, focusing his Psionics on every player with a name ending with an "ee" vowel sound. Like a lamb to the slaughter, Veal gives of his own energy stores that his teammates might triumph."

Last night I felt a disturbance in the Force, it felt like Yoda, Obi Wan, and Scalabrine were talking to me all at once and revealing to me the great secrets of the universe. I can only assume that this was the exact same moment that Scalabrine drained the 3 contributing to the Celtics win. As I stated above, strange things are afoot in the world, and I believe that it is almost time for the RHT. Snakehandlers and Flim Flam artist will tell you that this is the End of Days, but fear not for it is a new beginning, to which we will be lead by a humble and anonymous hero.

actual imagined exchange between delonte west and Scal:

Delonte: "I made a G today."

Scal: "But you made it in a sleazy way."

Scal is of a purity. Not sleaze involved, just like a fine Godiva White Choclate that you pay a lot of money for at the New Jersey Mall.

plus, he thinks Tupac is dope.

SCAL also likes rock music, though, lets not forget!

BUT WHAT KIND OF ROCK MUSIC? MELLENCAMP? URIAH HEEP? DIO ERA SABBATH? FUGAZI? LIMP BIZKIT? RADIOHEAD?

we dont know. we simply just dont know.

YET.

i heart this thread

DANNY-L said that if this Thread hits 2,000 posts that he will get a tatoo of Scalabrine's face as if it were part of Mt. Rushmore.

Oh that sounds like a bad idea. Last week, Scalabrine saw a fan's tattoo of his likeness and was none too pleased. He held the poor guy down with one hand and peeled back the skin on his bicep, sucking out the ink with his mouth as we went. The guy's arm was a mess.

it probably wasn't the idea of the tattoo, it was probably that image dishonored his greatness. get a great tattoo, and Scal will be calm and pleased. i suggest a halo around this fire-hair, and golden nikes.

prediction from celticsblog.net:

Unsung Celtic Hero of the Game – Brian Scalabrine

Scalabrine will be a crucial player tonight in what could be a dual role defending both Boozer and Okur at times. The center matchup is a difficult one for Ratliff, Olowokandi and Perkins in that none of the three are particularly adept at defending those who can stretch the defense with their perimeter shooting. I expect to see us throw different looks at this Utah frontline and one of them will likely be using Scalabrine on Okur. This would allow us to both challenge his deadly 18-20 foot jumper as well as contest the initiation of Utah’s offense that they often run through the high post.

Scalabrine's roll playing ability is crucial. He is a plug and play player. Thusly "a Bill Belichik kind of man". Scal's D-FENCE mixed with Kandiman's ability to smoke weed should make for an interesting match up against Boozer.

Scal's Assy boxout could be the difference in the game. If he can get a hand in the face of the perimeter shot, but then use his Ass to keep opponets from moving to the basket for the offensive rebound then I see a lot of fast breaks being created through Scalabrine rebounds followed by great Outlet passes to Pierce and Rondo down the court.

Today we take a look at Brian Scalabrine. He is known as a good team mate, good locker room guy, energy guy. But he isn't known for his steller play on the court. When you look at who he is, maybe it will be a little easier to cheer for the red head who hopefully will be the Celtics' 11th or 12th man this year.

Brian Scalabrine is the Celtics that most fans love to hate. He is a hard working player that isn't necessarily good at anything but is a good "energy guy" and a good "locker room guy" according to all reports.

Scalabrine played his prep basketball at Enumclaw High in Enumclaw, Washington. He attended Highline Community College and averaged 16.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game as a freshman in 1997, helping lead Highline to a 31-1 overall record and the state junior college championship. He red shirted his second year at Highline. He transferred to University of Southern California and was named the 1999 Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year and also earned All-Pac-10 honorable mention honors as a 1999 sophomore ... He was the only Trojan to start all 28 games.

On graduating from USC, he entered the NBA draft and was chosen in the second round by the New Jersey Nets with the 35th pick overall. He played sparingly his first 3 seasons in New Jersey. His fourth season he seemed to come on a bit more and averaged 6.3 points per game in 21.6 mpg. He became a fan favorite in New Jersey.

Last off season, Scalabrine signed a 5 year deal with the Celtics worth 15 millions dollars. He played in 71 games, averaging 13 mpg, 2.9 ppg, and 1.6 rpg. He hasn't had the success here yet that he had in New Jersey.

On the personal side, Brian has 2 brothers and 1 sister. He married Kristin Couch in August of 2003 in Hawaii. He is very active in the community and started the Brian Scalabrine “Take it to the Hoop� Basketball Camp in Stamford, CT and runs several basketball camps throughout New Jersey during the summer.

He has several nicknames. In college, his nickname was Redd. After being chosen by NJ in the draft, they started calling him Secaucus Red. Former Nets assistant coach Mike O'Koren nicknamed him "Veal" because he thought Brian's last name sounded like an Italian dish and the nickname has stuck. Another of his nicknames is Scal.

This offseason he participated in the SEEDS of Peace camp in Otisfield Maine where he was a counselor for campers from all over the Middle east.

I found this article on Fox Sports
I think Brian Scalabrine set a record in Boston on Wednesday night.

Now the NBA doesn't keep such records, so it would be hard to source, but I can't imagine anything like it ever happening before.
Scalabrine is listed at 6-foot-9, 235 pounds. He played 34 minutes against the Cavaliers on Wednesday. There were 100 missed shots in the game. Scalabrine hauled down zero rebounds.

So while I can't prove this definitely, I'm going to go ahead and assume that never before had a player this size played this many minutes— in a game with this many missed shots — without collecting a single rebound.

Wesley "Stick" Person may have done it. Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues may have done it. But can you imagine a 6-foot-9 power forward not being able to gather in any one of 100 missed field goal attempts? Or any of the seven defensive rebounds that were available off Cleveland missed free throws? Zero. Nada.

That's right, despite playing 34 fewer minutes than Scalabrine on Wednesday night, you matched him rebound for rebound. Of course you didn't receive $36,585 for your effort. He might not pull down any rebounds, but Scalabrine does pull down almost 40 grand per game, thanks to his baffling 5-year, $15M contract. And lest you think Wednesday night was some weird statistical quirk, in his last five games Scalabrine has played 111 minutes and reined in a meager nine rebounds.

It pretty much says all you need to know about Veal. Doc played him a lot more last year than most Celtics fans wanted him to play. He is the player most fans would like to see cut from the team or traded. He seemed to be out of shape all season and never seemed to fit into the system.

But, he is obviously a good teammate and good guy. He was always the first one off the bench to congratulate a teammate coming off the floor and was always cheering his teammates when he was on the bench. For what he is being paid, I guess having him there to encourage the kids and help with the comradery in the locker room isn't all that bad. We could do a lot worse. We could have Blount back... A player with Scal's skill set AND a bad attitude.

i'm glad someone appreciates veal's intangibles

man that's a bad contract

SCAL and KANDIMAN HAVE OLD-SCHOOL BEEF. WHO WILL PREVAIL?

What's it looking like for Scalabrine this week? Any big defensive games coming up? How is his relationship with Dan Dichau? Do you think Scal's game will drop off due to the release of Nintendo Wii or Playstation 3? Will Scal spend too much time playing NBA "The life"?

i'd love to see some Ws in next week's look back at "This Week in Scalabrine". I bet Scal loves NBA 'the life', because he can get into the hottest clubs.

That's what I'm saying. Scal makes some pretty big bucks, but I imagine that NBA "The life" let's him experience some parts of being an NBA player that he is mistakenly denied.

What I'M saying, is that Scal could use a little nose candy.

Scal doesn't mess with the nose candy out of respect for past Celtics. He does however enjoy a steady diet, of Colt .45, Dirt Weed, and Clove cigarettes. He does this to keep thing "real street".

Celtics Forward Brian Scalabrine and Center Michael Olowokandi Encourage Students to Stay in School During Visit to Uphams Corner Charter School
Celtics players talk to students about the importance of taking pride in their schoolwork
BOSTON- Boston Celtics forward Brian Scalabrine and center Michael Olowokandi visited the Uphams Corner Charter School in South Boston today as part of a Stay in School assembly, honoring high-achieving students and encouraging all of the children to take pride in their classroom work. Joining Scalabrine and Olowokandi at the assembly was WILD-FM personality "Coach" Willie Maye.

"It is important for students to get the most out of their education," Scalabrine explained. "They need to realize that studying and staying in school is the most important thing they can do for themselves, and that it will help shape their future."

During today's assembly, and at other Stay in School assemblies throughout the academic year, Celtics players deliver a special message to students that include the use of the acronym PRIDE - P for positive mental attitude, R for respect, I for intelligent choices, D for dreams, and E for effort and education.

The Boston Celtics Stay in School program is in its 15th year and is a collaborative effort between the team, the New England Sports Museum and Boston Public Schools. At assemblies throughout the academic year, Celtics players will visit schools to help motivate students to work hard and stay in school, and at the end of each year, top students will be honored for academic achievement and perfect attendance.

DRISKY GET THIS GOING ON AT YT SCHOOL!!!! GOTTA MAKE IT HAPPEN!

stolen from simmons's column today

looks like prison ball

woah scala actually looks totally conditioned and intense there! look at that muscle definiion! swoooon

someone please photoshop some juggalo on Admorr's face please

SCAL VS. HESHSTACHE is like my latent homosexuality dream come true.

and he seems to have a fetish for acquiring overpaid white guys with bad knees. He also handed out deadly contracts to two stiffs (Scalabrine and Mark Blount)

------Sport Guy Bill Simmons on Ainge.

I think I'm going to e-mail Bill Simmons this thread since he's down with online sports chatter.

GET BILL SIMMONS TO POST!

I sent him the link. For Real. Maybe he will post, or better yet mention it in his column.

prison ball

i am jonesin for scala

scala didnt see much action tonight. it was all leon powe!!!!!!

:'-(

dude was savage though.

someone had to be around the bench to get his head rubbed by Perk. Scal was there, and thats what a teammate does. beautiful curly red hair feels best on a calloused centers hand.

he looks slick in that warm-up gear, too. i'm not saying this to deflect attention from the fact that he was the only guy on the roster without a point, tonight.

he was associating particular energy fields with players he felt they suited, so for example

PERK = BLACK
GREEN = ORANGE WHITE
DELONTE = RED WHITE
PIERCE = GREEN

whatevs, it's all about the cous

just want to point out that Scal is practicing so fucking hard right now. he just boxed out with a violent ass push so powerful that i felt it all the way at work in norwell. its effect was felt around the office. a board meeting was prevented. a girl on the rebound from a relationship was pushed right back into the arms of her ex. 15 people suddenly grew red hair, and all of the food in the cafeteria turned into veal.

omg.

it was an epic box-out. tommy felt it..........right in his loins.

Scal is So living the fucking American dream. I'm sure he's just pumped to be able to go out on the court with the pros almost every night and fumble around having fun. Im sure he just hides all his smiles and the fact that he's pulling in like 40g's a game

he's the NBA version of the bass player for Van Halen.

How many years do you think it will be before RON HOWARD directs a movie about Scalabrine's life in the vein of INVINCEABLE.

Ryanspaker's post made me realize that SCAL really is a classic american story. It's really a story that ties together the efforts of the greatest generation with the generation of the new millenium. You'll laugh, You'll Cry, You'll want him to win the big game after struggling all year.

The role of Paul Pierce will be played by Jay-Z
Danny Ainge will be played by Ron Howard Himself.
Doc Rivers will be played by the guy who played the President on 24

Feel free to round out the rest of the Celtics roster with actors who could play them.

<i>he's the NBA version of the bass player for Van Halen.<i>

His name his Michael Anthony AKA "The Secret Weapon"

Michael Anthony sang like a bird

like the Great Northern Scalapecker

Scal has a secret weapon, but it doesn't apply to the court....unless he's nailing some tail on the court, after practice. Sorry for the harsh language, but there is no better way of describing Scalabrine intercourse than 'nailing some tail'.

The assistant coach would be played by beetle-juice from Howard Stern. Man, that's rough. I like that coach, but dude just looks like beetlejuice.

Their is a distinct possibilty that this guy could be Scalabrine's Father after nailing Scalabrine's mom in his hotel room after a concert on Van Halen's first tour. The year of Scal's birthday is the same year the first VH record came out. Clearly their is some sort of connection.

Nope. Can't be. Scal's mom is a one band woman, and that band is W.A.S.P.

we agreed that scal will be played by michael rappaport, right?

i endorse the jay as the truth idea, though my guess is jay would be an awful actor if an alright basketball player.

Other options for Scalabrine in the movie

Courteny Gains(played Hans Klopek in the Burbs-Can't Buy me Love)




Patrick Renna (The Big Green)

Brian Scalabrine-Dan Dickau Sex Tape on Bit Torrent

Scal needs to be smelling the 8 large pizzas that zack randolph ate for dinner, tonight. GET IN HIS FACE SCAL! YOU SHOW HIM HOW YOU DO IN......IN......WHATEVER HOOD YOU REPPIN! BORROW DELONTE'S HOOD, 'CAUSE HE'S COOL! word. go get 'em.

Scal picked up a tommy point of two, as the Cs blew the fucking doors off the blazers. He visited the front row, saving a ball in bounds. He also 'assisted' on a tommy point for Delonte, by throwing a horrible pass that D-west had to save from going out of bounds. Delonte got it back, and Scals magic touched him deeply -- he then went on a crazy shooting run for 17 pts in 19 minutes.

Scalabrine is arguably the most unselfish player of all time. Eventually people will forget that John Stockton ever dominated in assist and children will cheer the name of Scalabrine.

i missed a week of hot celts action

it's good to be back

3 in a fucking row - its been a long time. Scal didn't do much IN the game, but Shira Springer texted me to say that Scal obliterated Eddie Curry in a pizza eating contest....at Sparro. According to Springer, "Salabrine scala-brought it, and was openly mocking Curry midway through the contest. He got up from his seat, walked across the street to a sub shop, ordered a large steak-bomb, and brought it back to the site of the contest, where he proceeded to alternate bites between the sandwich and the pizza - never losing his substantial lead over the large New York Knicks center."

that still of him headbutting Jerome James' numbers
during his flat footed shot
was classic

wish i could find it

That Settles it. Patrick Renna will at least play Scalabrine in any Pizza eating contest scene in the movie.

I'M IN YUR BRAINZ

SCREWING UP YOUR MENTAL GAMEZ

if Scalabrine was a poster on this board, he wouldn't let this thread get all the way to page 4. where is the hustle?

I wouldn't have let it drop to page 4 either but somehow I manged to change my internet settings so that I couldn't view PHP based boards. This is a mistake Scalabrine would have never made. I'm glad he helped me fix it.

two chins and deadly from downtown.

oh man, this thread consistently delivers

i'm sticking with rappaport...i saw him at a knicks/celts game at madison square and wanted to yell at him, "did you come to watch your brother play?"

keenan thompson can play eddie curry, in the scene of the pizza-eating contest.

SCAL cooked this meal for this wife yesterday to give thanks for all the bounty that the lord has given them.

shootin' 40% from behind the arc right now!!

I'm going to the Celtics game tonight. I'm going to stop speaking for the remaining 7 hours before tip off so my voice will be rested for when I yell, "put in Scal!" when they annouce the starting line-ups.

too bad they've played like dogs the last two games. no heart. no energy. two losses to teams that the Cs should beat. Scal needs to dunk on someone, to inspire the team. i hope michael redd doesn't score 100 against them, tonight.

40% from beyone the ARC! SCAL is the new DAN MARLEY!

what was up with scal's minutes last night? did doc rivers throw the game?

Seriously. I'd assume that once they fire Doc, that any other coach will realize the potential and SCAL will be on the court way more, threatening teams with his deadly 3's.

Either that and they keep Doc around, tank the season, draft Greg Oden, and then you see an awesome Triangle offense based around Pierce, Scalabraine, and Odean, and any other two guys you want to put on the court at that point.

i do not want to dive this season
we should be done rebuilding by now
since it been happening for the past 12 years

A few observations me and my brother made about Scal

-During lay-up drills, he always goes back and touches the half court line. No other player does this. Why?

-He slaps just about anything within arms reach on the back or ass. We saw him greet: a number of Celtics, Mike Gorman, Tommy Heinson, some guy in a suit, and two ball boys in this manner.

-(one of my favorites) During the introduction to the Garden, when the lights were low, all the Celtics were lined up, but Scal was doing defensive stance drills back and forth in the key (no joke!)

-During timeouts Scal would sometimes be jumping on one foot and then switch to the other. Why???

-Scal also got his hands on a basketball when he was on the bench and would paw it anxiously. During timeouts when he was allowed to have a ball he would practice his release.

-Scal sits as far down the bench as possible.

In the game Scal was an animal. He was constantly flailing his arms and yelling. The entire Garden went quiet when he jacked up his one three pointer that didn't go in. I think he finished with a statline of 2 fouls, 1 rebound, and 3 assists.

By the end of the night the crowd was fed up, and started chanting, "No more malarky/ put in Scalabrine" but Doc didn't listen.

watching tivoed coverage of the bucks game while i type this

our man received 2 tommy points in a row while missing 2 easy shots, which he rebounded himself and miraculously turned into a basket on his third attempt. veal is posting real #s tonight

still missing buckets left and right, slapping hands and asses and engaging in strange warmup and team play rituals very much rooted in middle school bball that the above poster has summarized very nicely. theres always magic in the air when scal is around

tommy said he was playing a very blue collar game and bringing OOMPH to milkwaukekeke. i agree!

TEXAS that was serious A+++ posting. Outstanding. We need more agents in the field. These details about Scalabrine are so crucial.

Don't ask that was a solid follow up.

The Tommy comment about Scal's blue collar game is wisdom from on high. I feel like I was just validated by an oracle.

Good work people. Keep it up.

dont ask: you're right on that a lot of the stuff scal does seems to be rooted in jr. high and high school basketball. i remember the really gung-ho kids that i would play with in rec leagues doing stuff like always touching the line when they came back from lay-ups, cheering really loud, etc. scal just takes it to a new level.

my brother also made the great point that if scal had been on the celtics when he was 1o he would have maybe tried harder at basketball and had more optimism about the sport. my brother said something to the effect of, "i mean, i would have looked at him and seen a slightly chubbier, but just as pale and goofy, me, and i would have thought to myself, 'well, if he can be in the nba, why can't I?'"

i just thought maybe this link would be useful for any other scalamaniacs who need a new bookmark in their links folder.

Link to amazom

Not available. Obviously sold out due to high demand. He is only the first of many, soon there will be an army of Scalabrites

collector's item!


let us not forget his need to run down the entire bench forcing everyone to slap his hand when he gets subbed out

I wonder how hard it would be to get Scalabrine to do an interview for a zine? I would think not that hard.

I bet Scal would be a down with a zine. We should try contacting him about an interview, but we'll just buy him drinks and tell him to post here. Where is his blog? Is there a contact link on it?

That CGI Scal is blowing my MIND.

I bet Amazon sells a lot of videos about ballhandling.

tonight
Scal drops five 3's
blowing kisses in Kidd's direction for each swish
to turn the knife inside the Nets
for not believing in him when they had the chance

this is Veal's house now bishes!

Ya gotta give Scal minutes against the Nets. He will rise to the occasion. I feel like we might get a little foreshadowing of the 360 dunk on Shaq tonight.

St. John Baptist Scalabrini

Patron of Father of Migrants

1905
John Baptist Scalabrini (1839-1905), Bishop of Piacenza, lived the drama of the exodus of migrants who,during the last decades of the nineteenth century, traveled in great numbers from Europe to the countries in the New World. He clearly saw the need for a specific pastoral care of migrants through a suitable network of spiritual assistance. In this perspective, and giving proof of a keen spiritual insight and a concrete practical sense, he founded the Congregation of the Missionary Priests and the Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles. He strongly supported the need for legislative and institutional instruments for the human and juridical protection of the migrants against all forms of exploitation. Today, in different situations, the spiritual sons and daughters of Msgr. Scalabrini, who were later joined by the "Secular Institute of the Scalabrinian Missionary Women", continue to give witness to Christ's love for migrants and to offer them the Gospel. In 1998, John Paul II declared him Blessed and defined him as the "Father of Migrants".

SCAL!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111

the recent posts regarding doc being fired, and Scal obviously being in complete command of professional basketball drills, seem to point to an inevitable event. Scal - the player coach. he'll have a tear-away suit, so that he looks nice when manning the sideline, but can rip it off when he sees that his team needs some Scalacity (his term for his own brand of tenacity).

also - it was noted that Scal calls Jason Kidd once a week, but decided not to call him this week because of the Nets struggles. On the surface, that is a considerate move, and we know that Scal is a class-act. But, Scal is also a ruthless competitor, and Jason Kidd obviously wanted to enlist Scal for man-on-man love when they were teammates, only to be rebuked by Scal. Scal has been nice, up to this point, but now (right before the head-to-head matchup) is playing games with Kidd's emotions, much like what Smoky was accused of doing to Big Worm. no pun intended with regards to Scals own big worm. or Jason Kidds attempt to smoke Scals big worm. in the shower.

Lucas you are an oracle from on high! Doc being fired+ Scalabrine Player-Coach is clearly the future!

last night broke my heart

on the upside, scal for six!

ever time scal actually sinks a 3 an angel gets its wings

Can we start a petition to get SCAL in the three point contest this year or is it based on mid season stats?

i think its 'every time scal sinks a three, a white guy jumps an inch'.

Scal could show up to the 3 pt. contest, pulling a LB -- never taking off the warmup jacket, and asking who is going to be second place.

Seriously, we need to establish some direct contact. He's so into drills and repetetive practice that you know he'd be down to stay late and shoot from the carts just like it was the real thing. I bet he'd sink that moneyball everytime. We've got to get in his head and get him in the shoot out.

Lets start a fan club, put up a website, c/p this thread, and get an interview.

if the 'bird man' can be in the dunk contest, then Scal can most certainly be in the 3 pt contest. "its time for the Scal-storm to rain"

I second the fan club suggestion, get an interview, and then get him to post and chill with us.

Maybe I need to contact the sports guy again and see if he will acknowledge this thread.

or

Somehow trick the Phoenix or the Dig to cover this thread like those times they randomly covered certain shit going down on honeypump.

Ok,
I e-mailed the Sports Guy again and linked him to this thread. I also asked him to make a public appeal for Scalabrine to bein the 3 point contest.

Maybe if some other people keep linking him to the thread he will eventually look at it. I honestly believe if he read this shit he'd find some humor in it.

Go here to send an e-mail

I just send an email to bill simmons. Hopefully we can get this ball rolling.

trying to google his name
might he lurk this thread sometimes?

"His strong suit is the hard-to-quantify intangibles, like when he subtly hip-checked a defender out of the way to enable Paul Pierce to sink a game-winner at the buzzer last year."


This is exactly what Brad was talking about. The message is getting out there guys, lets keep pushing.

Scalabrine studies other sports and takes what he needs and applies it to basketball. His days playing youth league hockey gave him that masterful hip check and he never forgot it. He is truly a gift. I only hope that the entire human race can learn from him.

Scal just came in with 29 seconds and shoots the killer 18 footer. Swish!

I heard that Scal has a great pivot foot.

Fuck I realigned those stats but I guess they won't post that way. Anyway the important part is that he's 50% for 3's! Seems to me the ball should be in Scal's hand at the end of close games. Pierce drives the lane, kicks out to SCAL who nobodies gaurding because they don't respect/undestand his powers, and boom goes the dynamite, he hits the 3.

Scalabrine not enjoying this boos cruise </b>
Eagle-Tribune

Michael Muldoon

BOSTON - Richard Jefferson just shook his head and remarked, "They despise him."

Despise might be too strong, but Brian Scalabrine is clearly the whipping boy for Celtics fans.

Brian Scalabrine?!

How an eminently likable, doughy scrapper who, by all reports, works as hard as anybody to overcome his middling-at-best talent can share Public Enemy No. 1 status with coach Doc Rivers is a mystery.

If he were in insurance, he'd be the goofy Danny Dilbert, the middle manager in the adjacent cubicle.

With his shock of red hair, he could pass for Sully, the fun-loving guy who has been collecting workman's comp from the MBTA for the last couple of years.

But Scalabrine is greeted with boos when he enters the game at TD Banknorth Garden. Heaven forbid he makes the slightest mistake or the fans are all over him once again.

"Nice defense, Scalabrine," hollered one disgruntled fan during last night's game with Scalabrine's old team, the New Jersey Nets. A minute or two later, Mr. Disgruntled thoughtfully opined, "You s-k!"



A veteran New Jersey beat writer just shook his head before the game, a devastating 106-103 loss for the Bostonians to a Jersey club which had lost six straight.

"They used to chant his name (back in Jersey)," he explained with a bemused look.

And it wasn't followed by an expletive.

It seemed like "Veal Scalabrine" would bring that folk-hero status with him to the Nets' Atlantic Conference rival. But somewhere between Exit 16W and Beantown, it all went wrong.

Maybe it was the increased expectations. It's infinitely easier to be a role player along side the great Jason Kidd and high-flyers Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson than it is carrying the load on a team loaded with unproven 20-year-olds.

The $15 million the then-free agent received two years ago is undoubtedly a big part of the rancor, too. Another natural redhead, Cyndi Lauper, had it right, "Money Changes Everything."

Scalabrine is as puzzled as anybody.

"It's definitely unfair," he said candidly. "I don't know what I did. I'd like to know why. I could never envision it."

Rivers has likened it to when his former Atlanta Hawks teammate, Jon Koncak, signed a big contract and went from a respected, blue-collar guy to the universally ridiculed "Jon Contract." Scalabrine, too, went from a hustling second-rounder out of USC to just another overpaid NBA guy.

It wasn't that way when he was with the Nets.

"New Jersey fans embrace anybody who helps the team win," said Jefferson. "He was active in the community, a team-first guy and always a professional."

The one thing that could win the fans over would be some inspired play. But as he's proved since coming to Boston, he's no All-Star. He came into last night's game shooting a paltry .313 from the floor (5 of 16) and averaging just 1.2 points a game. His strong suit is the hard-to-quantify intangibles, like when he subtly hip-checked a defender out of the way to enable Paul Pierce to sink a game-winner at the buzzer last year.

The danger is the negativity can do irreparable damage to his psyche. That's one of the reasons Antoine Walker refused to drive to the basket; he couldn't hit his free throws and he knew he'd be the target of the boobirds.

Noticeably reticent to shoot at the Garden, Scalabrine believes the boos haven't changed his game.

"If it did, it's not consciously," said the 28-year-old, who hasn't resorted to the Dirty Bird response to fans which earned Falcons quarterback Mike Vick a $10,000 fine this week.

Last night may have been a bit of a breakout for him as the 6-8 forward hit a pair of big 3-pointers early in the fourth quarter. Still, soon he committed a turnover, which seemed to generate more disgust with the fandom than the threes earned applause.

He still maintains leaving New Jersey, where he was stuck behind some bigtime talent, wasn't a mistake.

When asked if he had any regrets, he said, "Not really. I wanted to get an opportunity to start and contribute."

The starting role never came, but the disdain did.

"The boobirds I have to deal with," he said matter of factly. "I have to do what I have to do. I only have to satisfy my teammates and coaches. I don't go home and cry. I deal with it."

Barring a trade, it seems like he'll have to deal with it for the next three years.

Scalabrine doesn't go home and cray. He's Tough as Nails. Maybe he is a former Navy SEAL and this is Witness Protection Program.

Scalabrine had 76 confirmed kills, and once killed a man with the parasol from a fruity drink into the jugular.

scalabrine sometimes goes home and cries. two weeks ago, the roommate he got off of craigslist collected the tears in a pot, boiled them, used the hot sluice to brine a turkey, and donated a free thanksgiving dinner to a high school for teenage runaways.


wouldn't you know that the boston globe just tapped that crew of scrappy street kids as underdog favorites for this year's all-city b-ball tourney?????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111

Is he rocking FILA? That would be ill.

tim glowick sponsors scalabrine. fila is a co investor but its off the books. scala is revolting by wearing nikes.

do you see how he's doing the electric slide? doc and the breeny have been working on that in practice.

What if we ask Scalabrine to play 3 Vs. 1 as some sort of Charity event. Let's say me, DannyL, and Drisky take him on. I bet he still wins and even dominates us physically. After he wins he then donates $10,000 drisky's school for new computers because he's cool like that.

oh shit! thats a legit idea.

After reading that article about people booing Scalabrine, he needs some PR in the Boston area to bump up his image. I think a large donation to a cause relating to children would be well timed.

well played. i wonder if we can get in contact with his agent through the celtics public affairs office.

I'm guessing if we call and use some kind of vauge yet official sounding name, as if we are calling from some kind of important organization we might actually get some phone numbers.

Scalabrine a pleasant surprise

By Shira Springer, Globe Staff | December 4, 2006

CHICAGO -- When Doc Rivers recently praised Brian Scalabrine for his "phenomenal" overall play, it seemed like the Celtics were living in an alternate NBA universe, a through-the-looking-glass realm.

Could Rivers be talking about the same Scalabrine who struggled to earn playing time and the confidence of the coaching staff last season? As surprising as it may seem for those who booed Scalabrine last season and earlier this season, the answer is yes.

With Rivers looking for players who take pride in defense, who play every possession hard, who bring toughness and energy to the floor, Scalabrine's stock has risen in the eyes of his coaching staff and teammates. The reserve forward has emerged as an unlikely role model. Against the Toronto Raptors, Rivers cited Scalabrine as the only Celtic who could guard All-Star Chris Bosh. Scalabrine played so well at Air Canada Centre that Rivers did not want to take him out.

"Scal is really important for us because we don't have a lot of veterans who can think the game and talk," said Rivers. "Scal has an extremely high basketball IQ. He had it last year, too. That hasn't changed. It may have gotten him in trouble last year. He was trying to do too much. He was trying to do things he did in other systems. He tried to do it his way a lot, instead of our way. This year, I thought Scal would be better coming in.

"He's come in and done the stuff we wanted him to do. He's looking better on the floor. He's fitting in. He plays hard every night. Even if Scal is not playing great defense, he's playing hard defense. A lot of times you're going to get fooled, you're going to get beat, but if you play hard enough, something good happens."

By keeping the game simple, Scalabrine has seen an increase in playing time. After working his way into the rotation after suffering a left shoulder injury in preseason, he has averaged 13.4 minutes per game in the last seven games. He is shooting 45 percent from the floor, by far a career best if he can sustain it throughout the season. Against Toronto, Scalabrine went 2 for 2 with a 3-pointer.

Just as important to Rivers are the forward's competitiveness and savvy. With five years of NBA experience, Scalabrine was able to think his way through issues that kept him off the court last season.

"The difference is that sometimes when something doesn't make sense to a player and a coach tells you to do it, they have a bigger master plan for a game plan," said Scalabrine. "I'm ultra-competitive and I was doing stuff that I thought would help us win [last year], but if I'm on my own page and the rest of the team is on its own page, it doesn't help. Doing what they ask me to do, and doing it with the same conviction as playing the other way, is the best way to earn you minutes.

"Maybe it's not a good thing for me to put the ball on the floor when we have other guys out there that do that. Maybe it's better for me to space the floor out. For them to say that to me, it means our overall game plan is for that to happen. I'm committing to what we have to do to win. I try to be solid on the game plan and give 100 percent effort. Things like that help me get minutes out there."

Paul Pierce (bruised right elbow) will play tonight against the Bulls, Wally Szczerbiak (sprained left ankle) will not, and Kendrick Perkins (plantar fasciitis, left foot) is "50-50." After practice at Moody Bible Institute yesterday, Rivers said he was leaning toward starting Delonte West in place of Szczerbiak, though he mentioned Tony Allen was also a possibility.

Pierce practiced with padding over his elbow. When asked if the padding would affect his shooting, Pierce said to ask Allen, who guarded the captain during the workout. Needless to say, Allen did not have a very good day on defense.

"It's getting better," said Pierce. "There's just bruising and it's still a little sore. I wore a pad on it [yesterday] and it felt good . . . A lot of the swelling is down. I think it's more of a bruise. I'll probably wear the pad [tonight], just in case I fall."

It's good to see Scal getting 1/1000th of the respect he deserves. It's a start. I want to see a Scalabrine bill board out there. Somebody needs to advertise this brand.

One other bizarre thing I just remembered from my last visit to the Garden. YOU CAN'T BUY A SCALABRINE JERSEY!
My brother and I looked through every rack at the store, and even went so far as to ask two employees about it. One pretended that she didn't know who Scal was (probably out of fear for her safety due to his time with the Navy Seals), and another said that they "don't sell Scalabrine jerseys." You can even get a Rondo one, but not Scal.

when i was watching the c's game on fri, i realized that scal is definitely the type of guy who says

"LITTLE HELP?"

Scal doesn't say 'my bad'. He says 'I apologize for my indiscretion." Sometimes, just "my indiscretion". He is a classy baller.

lol

i love the first 2 posts in this thread, which when looked at together, read as a sort of an allgory for the false promise of scalabrine dominance.

also i'd like to agknowledge that we are fast approaching the 400 reply mark. :)

thnx everyone for living the dream.

Yeah, there's something strange about the fact that this thread was started, and has been picking up steam with many members of this group going to games and writing the prophecies on this electronic tablet, and all of a sudden there are like 3 stories on Scal in the newspapers? We got a lurker. I wonder if we can talk to Bulpett, link him to this thread, and get him to pass on a message to Scal that he needs to start posting.

I want to hear about Scal's thoughts beyond the bball court, too, like which is his favorite Black Flag vocalist and what he thinks about normz.

genius

texas i have to say, i've been enjoying yr scala insights quite a bit. Brad called me just to tell me that I had to check them out.

i bet scal and dickau have a family plan

dannyL: Much love to everyone on this thread. I think it's just a testament to the glory that is the Scalabrine, that we have all been brought to our full potential as posters, and as people by him.

like larry bird - Scal makes teammates better. unlike Larry Legend, Scal has been able to translate this skill to internet message board posting.

brad is the kevin mchale of this thread. Scal opens brings people to his defense, leaving brad able to dominate the low post with a drop-step, a baby hook, and armpit hair for miles...

I would like to curate a Brian Scalabrine art show, which would showcase autographed manuscripts, photographs, literary manuscripts, correspondence, and tape recordings of interviews, broadcasts, recording sessions, Scala dunking footage, and rare childhood home movies of Brian composing at the piano.

For the art show I will put together a slow motion Scalabrine highlight tape, and then play an emotional soft rock solo over it.

That Shira Springer article really is amazing. Probabaly is lurking this thread because most of the positive mentions in that article were articulated in this thread first.

scal's last blog post:


Hey Celtics fans, Brian Scalabrine checking in from the team hotel in Philadelphia, as we're getting ready to take on the Sixers tonight on ESPN2. I'm really looking forward to tonight's game and the next little stretch we have here, especially after winning a tough game in Atlanta on Tuesday night.

i think he went undercover and now posts anonymously on livejournal.

I heard DannyL doesn't post on this thread as much as he used to becuase he's working on a booke called "101 Best Brian Scalbrine Knock Knock Jokes"

Did anyone check the boxscore for last night? Scal had 10 points and 8 boards in 22 minutes! It's happening!

*dannyL chuckles*

yo i heard doc on EEI this morning talking about scal's 10 pts 8 rebs or whatever -- he says scal and gerald are the new warriors of the team and that hes proud of them, and that people started cheering for Scal. This coincides with Scal and Gerald bonding over the impossible dunk bet of a few weeks ago, and this thread sending positive vibez into the collective unconscious celtic metabrain.

This thread is a better coach for Scalabrine than Doc is. Scalabrine reads this shit and get's psyched on the positive youth and then goes and plays like a warrior. Im guess that his numbers keep going up all season and around play off time he hits the cover of sports illustrated.

God I wish this thread would die.

Fuck Off. This thread will live as long as Scalabrine does, and then long after that as a tribute to his life and times.

I am glad this thread exists.
Brain Scalabrine = THE true american hero.

yeah
get bent crock&cry!

has there ever been a SINGLE hater in this thread before this guy? what kind of Massonian are you, boss? did you even know that yesterday was larry bird's birthday?

yr ill equipped to bring hate into a spiritual thread - a thread that is bigger than you or I will ever be.

so i was watching NBATV last night in honor of larry and caught the second half of a show about the celtics '86 title run. bird was talking about that being when danny ainge really came into his own and earned his teammates' trust.

then it showed a 27 year old danny ainge pulling into his driveway. the door of his car had "44" - his jersey number - painted on it. it was badass.

who else is #44? BRIAN SCALABRINE.

scal is now 28. it's time for him to paint "44" on the door of his car.

Proposal to that if Scalbrine is unwilling to paing 44 on the door of his car that we do it for him. Ainge clearly hired Scalabrine because he could see young Danny Ainge in their struggling to get out. That's why Scal has been so hot with the 3's lately. The plan is really starting to make sense. This thread might end up being a really important piece of sports journalism.

gorilla mission - pimp Scal's ride. i'm glad this thread persists, and doesn't get down on itself for being slow, or a little chubby, or for having red hair.

in more depressing news -- i've spent all day today thinking about how poorly the celtics have been playing, and looking at pictures of len bias and reggie lewis, while sighing. i need help.

Luke, Send Larry Bird a Belated Birthday Card. You'll feel better. So will Larry.

If Tupac were alive today he would rap about Scalabrine.

the celts put BIG HOPES into the SCAL-MATRON 3000 tonight with their home game against the phoenix suns, playing him for 25 FUCKING MINUTES (as much as they played TONY ALLEN tonight, folks!!). as the official "sixth man" for this battle of the titans, scal was 0-3 and 0-1 from behind the arc for a total of 0 points. he DID have three assists tonight, though.

btw the celts lost 116-111. i suggest that if scal had five more minutes in the game, they would've won 134-100 with scal scoring six three pointers in a row at the end of the fourth quarter.

iverson
oden
something

still, oddly, i like most of the players on this team

Scalabrine is actually just a bad basketball player. He's fucking horrible.

<gasp!>

btw the celts lost 116-111. i suggest that if scal had five more minutes in the game, they would've won 134-100 with scal scoring six three pointers in a row at the end of the fourth quarter.

there's a controversial rumor going around the backpages of nba.com about whether or not to extend ALL celts games by five minutes. they'll clear the floor and scal will shoot "around the world" to the credit of the celts score (and joy of fans the world over.)

you don't get to be a pro just because you have red hair. you can't say he's fucking horrible, when he could kick 99.9% of the populations ass. in nba terms, regarding to basketball skills.......no comment. its not about skills, its about heart.

also, despite this teams losing, i still have fondness for every player on the team (with maybe some indifference towards alan ray). i feel like they all bring something to the table, they just leave the table largely empty on some nights. if they could all put together a stretch of games where they all got it done, the team would be decent. that said, i'd love to get a.i. (although i would hate to part with gerald or al). i'd give up al for gasol, though, because gasol already does what we hope al will do. a.i. is a top 5 player, still (maybe top 10), and no-brainer hall of famer. he and pierce could potentially dominate a lot of teams, with hustle guys such as gomes and perk around. you can't double team two offensive assassins at the same time.

besides my ultimate basketball dream of landing K.G. to play along with Paul, it would absolutely fantastic to trade the kiddies to land both a.i. and pau gasol. 3 all-stars in your starting lineup, at PG, SF, and C/PF. it would be outstanding, even with saying goodbye to gerald, al, and the rest of the young cats. it would give you 3 or 4 years to bring home #17. i want to see Paul smoking that victory cigar, so badly.

Scal could play the role of Mark Madsen, and dance like a total goofball during the victory celebration. Scal and the 'cabbage patch', together since '84.

i want iverson here so that he an scal can get matching tats.

from what i recall of the limited times i've seen him play, gasol is better with his front to the basket, al with his back to the hoop. even though pau is tall he doesn't really play like a PF/C. he's good though, i'd like to him here for sure.

I think Scalabrine would help A.I. keep things real streat. Remind Iverson to stick to his roots.

would ive and pierce compete too much? would their friendship suffer? that is my foremost concern.

if the celts got both AI and sheed do you think officials would boycott their games?

Drisky, the answer is no. It would be like Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, or Mick Jaeger and Keith Richards. Scalabrine would fit in like a Ron Wood or a John Taylor.

400th post. Congratulations to all involved.

Did anybody check out Scalabrine's elbow to Barbosa's face last night? That was some brutality. When interviewed afterwards, Scalabrine was quoted as saying, "I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. You can't hit your shots if I make your face bleed."

Is this guy a warrior or what??!

too bad scal couldn't lay the hurt on the little candadian. that might have helped the Cs win, yesterday. Scal needs to watch some laimbeer film, and figure out to maximize his potential as a gutless thug.

thanks, paul - both scal and i needed a chance to jump for joy. its been a while.

while watching that glorious win last night, i was thinking how appropriate it would be if scal got a

REDZ prison style tattoo to match delonte's. im fairly sure it's in the works.

HOLY SHIT !!! DID YOU GUYS NOTICE THAT 44 = $$ on a QWERTY KEYBOARD?!?!?!?!!!!!!

if scal tops 10 asts in a game, this year, i'm headed straight to the bank and getting $44 in dimes. then, i'll roll around in them, pretending they are Scal's gentle arms, rocking me to sleep.

If Scal has a triple double will you get a Skull Tattoo of "#44"

if scal is the mvp of the nba finals, maybe.

Iverson's trade to the celtics is contingent on Scal resigning for 15 years/$125,000 per

forget A.I. -- the T-wolves will trade us garnett straight up for Scal, if we show them this thread. we'll miss scall, but he will be where he belongs -- ice fishing, and eating hot dish and bars.

exactly the same thing happened tonight

i drew "44" in big varsity letters and wrote "scalabrine" on my scratch paper before the GRE.

true story.

Let us know when your perfect GRE score show up in the mail! Scalabrine is the Abbot of the 36 Chambers.

at lunch today, scal and i were talking about this thread. he said, "top it, dude."

I heard that the Celtics are flying Scalabrine into Philadelphia tonight to chill at Iverson's crib and sell him on the finer points of Boston nightlife. It's kind of a formal offer from Scalabrine to be the leader of Iverson's entourage if he were to move to Boston, so that Iverson know he's got a number one guy when it comes to drugs, girls, and parties.

i saw scala working a tattoo gun at regen last week. is he an apprentice?

man this thread is getting huge

too big for blt maybe hmmmm?!?

the stallion just made the 420th post!!!!!!

<inhale>aw yeaaah!</exhale>

on tuesday night, ben and i concluded that scal's entrance music is definitely "h to the izzo"

we also decided that he probably adds "SCAL to the brine" onto the end of the chorus and has it bumping on his ipod nano during warm ups

i also decided that scal is definitely a naked talker in the locker room

thinking more about that beautiful thought this morning on my walk to work, i additionally concluded that he probably asks delonte or telfair to give him a beat and then raps "h to the izzo, scal to the brine" in the showers

what is this thread doing on page three?????????

i <3 him
he really keps the chatter up when hes on the bench

ummmm, no. hes been getting big minutes since the big BIGS went down

he did a sick between the legs dunk in philly, but sadly everyone on both teams, everyone in the stands, the t.v. cameras, and all the officials happened to look away at that precise moment.

So I'm thinking that once we secure A.I. that we need to find a prominent place in Boston to paint a Mural that is Allen Iverson, Scalabrine, and matsuzaka. Murals should start being about he future instead of nostalgia for the past. Also this would be like the sicket mural ever.

"i also decided that scal is definitely a naked talker in the locker room"



hahaha

im with you 100% on this mural brad. in terms of ideal placement im thinking

SIDE OF AL'S LIQUORS ON BROADWAY IN SOUTHIE (alongside the dropkick murphys mural)

or

SIDE OF BROOKS ON HIGHLAND AVE IN SOMERVILLE (to replace the beloved, recently painted over tribute to women, diversity and meter maids)

I kind of think the wall of the 7-11 across from the side of Blanchards as you walk up the right side of Harvard Ave. Towards Commonwealth.

should we record an h to the izzo remix???

Please do!

Also this reminds me, DannyL or another Hardcore celtics fan might have the answer, but I think their is a guy out in western mass who has written a rap about every Celtic in recent memory. Is their a Scalabrine rap out there already and if so how come it hasn't been linked yet??????

Top in hopes of Scalabrine Raps.

Miracle Johan... http://www.purevolume.com/miraclejohan

I don't see a Scalabrine, one, however. I don't think this is all of them. I played bball with John, but I didn't really talk to him off the court. Does anybody here know him? Maybe we could get a group together to help record a Scal one.

Scal played his best game of the year, last night. Big big rebounds, key tip ins, good ball movement, young woman fainting in the crowd when he gave them the 'eye', a verbal handjob from tommy, bum slaps to all his teammates.......really just an outstanding all around performance. He even taught gerald that sick windmill, in practice the other day (showing him on an 8 foot hoop).

Did anyone notice that Scal has been a starter the past couple games with Gomes out? I'm not saying this thread is responsible for the rise of the red-headed one, but I wouldn't be surprised if Scal has incorporated lurking into his pregame warmups, to draw strength from the one place where he is king (besides the bedroom, and the murder, inc. studios).

This thread is like the Scalabrine's Fortress of Solitude. He comes here when he needs to reflect and rejuvenate.

Also Danny L is working on the Miracle Johan Scalabrine rap. I think that he has actually talked to Miracle Johan and used to play ball with him as well.

he better keep it on the positive tip. like arrested development. the rap group with the old guy dancer, not the t.v. show that, while hilarious, is not overwhelmingly positive. nor is it, in any way, rap.

Maybe we just need to ask Miracle Johan to post in this thread.

5 STRAIGHT!!! AND ACCORDING TO CELTSBLOG:

Speaking of overcoming low expectations (I DONT KNOW ABOUT THIS PART, BUT I WANTED A DIRECT QUOTE -d_a), how about some love for Scalabrine? He’s playing his role, playing defense, and doing the little things that the team needs him to provide. I honestly don’t know if we’d get the last couple of wins without him. He even tried to hit Gerald on an alley oop (I’ve been waiting for that play all year). The pass was off the mark, but at least he was looking for him.

<3

And to follow that up, Bill Simmons is even turning to a Scalabrine Lover. From an actuall transcript. This thread is causing positive thoughts for Scalabrine everywhere

"Hoss (Austin): Would you please chastise the yahoo "fans" who booed Scalabrine the other night with the C's up 16 in the 2nd quarter. Shameful.

Bill Simmons: This is supposed to be a chat about the fight, but I had to mention this: All the Boston fans booing Scalabrine need to stop. He sucked last year and he's been really good this year, the guy's busting his butt every game. Nobody on the Celtics should be booed. They're all playing hard. End of story. back to the chat... "

signing 6-packs at the packy. scal is keepin' it real. when keepin' it real goes RIGHT.

I heard that Bird is getting nervous that Scal might overcome him as the best Celtic ever

don't you mean 'pervis ellison is getting nervous that Scal might overcome him as the best Celtic ever'. or maybe 'dino radja is getting nervous that Scal might overcome him as the best Celtic ever'. or possibly 'sherm douglas is getting nervous that Scal might overcome him as the best Celtic ever'.

we need to get together a petition to have scal jerseys printed

you could buy a danny ainge throwback, and modify the name.

new angle -- buy the 'any name, any number' jersey. Scal/44.

good idea, but we clearly need to bring scal to the masses

if we cant do authentic NBA jerseys, im thinking

SCAL SAVED XMAS

in the vein of

YANKEES SUCK

or maybe

BIG RED
SCAL JIGGA
VEAL SCALABRINE

just throwing those out there. plz feel free to vote on your faves

raef lafrentz jerseys are half-price, in the celtics store.

i'd rock a 'SCALABRING IT' shirt, with 'SCALBROUGHTEN' on the back.

SCALABRATION #44

THE RED HEADED STEP CHILD

RED DELICIOUS

SCALABRINE MAFIA

im gonna start tagging:

SCAL IS REAL

around the city in green spraypaint

RIDIN ON QUADROOPS

We need to stage THE SCALABRATION. All go to the same game with Scal jerseys. Heinson would shit is pants.

Actually what we need to do is get fucking really good seats that are gauranteed to be on tv. Then we each paint a letter on our chest. S-C-A-L-A-B-R-I-N-E. It'll take ten stought men.

Scalabrine will shit his pants.

jersey's cost like 20000$ on nba store dot com. who do they think we are????

i'd pay 44.44 though!!!!

Maybe Scalabrine would be inclined to buy us some of his millions to buy us Jersey's since it would boost his image.

interview with Scal:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSE2bDxCO2U

is brad the mastermind behind this?????????

Im going to TC's lounge across from Berklee tonight so i canw atch Scal in effect. I hate not having Tv

they were booing him at the Garden on Fri vs the Uggets.
I thought that though he kinda blows, it was uncalled for.

THIS IS BIG
TOMMY JUST SAID, "BRIAN SCALABRINE, HE'S JUST ILL"
SOMEONE RECORD THIS ON THE REPLAY, TOWARD THE BEGINNING OF THE FOURTH QUARTER


(scal is missing the game due to illness, but you take the audio clip out of context and noone would know)

Dudes, seriously, lets get tix for a game and just chant for veal the entire time. please? Seriously.

Jan 3 vs. cleveland ?

We could get together and make some shirts, signs, etc. Creative chants, etc.

Scalabrine played with the Flu last night. That's worth a couple of Tommy Points.

i heard scal is HUNG

Scal was once part of a Hung Jury. I don't know if that's what your thinking of. He didn't really want to give the guy the death penalty. Scal thinks that we should be more like the Europeans when it comes to State Sanctioned Excecution.

did scal's first seven inch come out on vermiform in 94 or 95?

no way man, Scal was in a thrash band on mystic

Merry Christmas to Scalabrine and to his friends and family, and everyone who made this thread possible. It's a Scalabrine Christmas.

did anyone see Scal last week? playing while sick with the flu? that is all heart, baby. plus, he shaved his head as a christmas present to the ladies, and he gave Tommy a 'scal point'. it was quite a week for our hero. 20 and 10 tonight?

he was either drunk or robotripping during the "what would you give to mike and tommy for the holidays?" segment when he offered up a scal point. either way, there was a great buzz in the air that night.

he looked like death warmed over on the bench and playing friday night. what hustle!

i cant wait to see scal post up on AI tonight.

ps delonte is starting at point

look out denver!!!!

bad redz and big red working together. SUP NOW, NUGS?

eff a post up, scal is going to break AI's ankles with a red-headed crossover. then he'll posterize camby with a vicious barkley-esque two-handed slam. this will be captured in two different photos, winking to the first camera as he goes by iverson, and winking to the other camera with the other eye as he dunks.

remember when the celtics had michael jordan? SI does:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3464/

he seems to have shrunk about 6 inches, and went to penn instead of n. carolina.

WOAH SHIT
HE FLAGGED HIM!

do you seem scal put his hand on doc's shoulder after a terrible play
doc looked at him, then the hand like wtf

<a href="myspace.com/miraclejohan">salmon and mashed potatoes</a>

SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME THE SCALABRINI NAME HAS BEEN A SIGNAL OF HOPE FOR THE PEOPLE

EXAMPLE 1:



JOHN BAPTIST SCALABRINI
Also known as Giovanni Battista Scalabrini; Apostle of the Catechism

Worked with cholera victims, visited the sick and prisoners, helped the poor and bankrupt nobility. Saved thousands of farmers and workers from famine, selling his horse, chalice, and the pectoral cross that Blessed Pope Pius IX had given him to buy food. Founded an institute to help hearing and speech-impaired women. Organized assistance for young single women employed in rice fields. Established mutual aid societies, workers' associations, rural banks, cooperatives, and Catholic Action groups.

TRUE FACT: "Scalabrine" IS AN ALTERATION OF "SCALABRINI". BRIAN IS HUMBLE. HE DID NOT WANT HIS FAMILY'S LEGACY TO OVERSHADOW THOSE OF FELLOW CELTICS. HE ALLOWS THE FACT TO REMAIN MYTH, RUMOR - TO ADD MYSTERY AND STORYLINE FOR TRUE FANS

feltsuit is on some next level shit

true to his family name, Scal has also "Organized assistance for young single women employed in rice fields." you know....in the biblical sense.

i figured it was just the tony allen clip, but that is awesome. i never thought that sal-mon and mased potatahs would sound so cool as a sample. there needs to be an 'every day i'm hustlin'' scalabrine song.

gwahahah he has like 15 songs about the celtics. remember on EEI last season there was that clip --

'Im MArk BLount, and Im Funnnkkkkey"

Scalabrine Scholarly Archive

i love that a few more additions to this library of scal knowlege will mean post # 500.

Whoever is responsible for #500 better bring their A game. Just like Scalabrine does.

do you think we'll get to 4400 replies before celtics championship #17?

Do you think Scalabrine will score 10,000 points before he hangs up his jersey?

one day Scal will have a blog like this:
http://barkleyquotes.blogspot.com/

dead brill

scalabrine

is a silon.

i heard that scal has flubber in his kicks. t/f?

He will when he does a remake of the Nutty Professor with Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, and Martin Lawrence.

What do you think Scalabrine is doing for New Years?

Post here if you made out with Scalabrine at midnight!

you would've had to of been in seatle

A trip to Seattle would have been a small price to pay.

Last night Scal and Varajao were really getting in each other's faces. Elbows thrown, jump balls called, Tommy Points, it was pretty intense. Serious beef!

Word on the street is that Scal is already planning to kidnap Lebron for some payback for this loss. In 2 days he'll be cooling his heels in a basement in Southie.

what a fucking great game last night. fucking lebron hit that retarded shot that ended up being the difference

WHY GIVE IT TO WALLY!?! WHY!!!

lebron is great, but i think he's blowing it. he could avg. a triple double, but he is making himself largely one-dimensional (as a scorer). shooting fade away jumpers, when he could drive past 99% of people, and post up anyone who is guarding him. not to mention that shooting jump shots eliminates the need to double team him or collapse on him, which doesn't utilize his passing skills. he's not exactly breaking a sweat trying to get rebounds, and he isn't playing any defense.

put larry bird in his body, and you'd be seeing 35, 15, and 12 every damn night. and he wouldn't be gnawing on his fingernails. congratulations lebron, you're becoming bernard king when you could have been the best ever.

i would rather have seen Delonte or Gerald shoot the last shot, but they didn't set up anything, and it ended up in Wally's hands (and he certainly has the ability to knock that down).

TRADE AL JEFFERSON FANCLUB

(just to irk my friend)

btw your bernard king reference is perfect.

irk this, buddy. if you find a golden unicorn amongst a field of horses, you don't trade that magical unicorn for 2 more regular horses.

lebron's defensive game needs a pickup. what worries me the most about him is his tendency to watch the game for 3 quarters... i think i heard someone this morning say that he was the NBA's best closer. i thought thats quite fitting.

i hate to say it, because i didn't see it before -- but IMO the only golden unicorn on this team is tony allen. gerald is his baby brother, so keep him too.

he takes games off, too, when they are playing lesser teams. michael didn't do that. kobe doesn't do that. larry and magic never did that.

john starks did that.

swingmen/perimeter players are way easier to find than back-to-the-basket low post beasts. its not even arguable. i don't want to get rid of any of them, because i think tony is solid, and g money is special. al is rare and magical, though.

speaking of taking games off -- is it just me or does tony have an old school ethic? he just seems to want to win more than the other guys. i know they all show it in different ways or whatever.. but really, if we're talking classic celtics ethos... TA is the human tommy point.

i'm going to make myself two t-shirts.

1. al jefferson with a golden horn on his forehead with the caption "rare and magical"

2. lebron james with the caption "the next john starks".

another thing that bothers me about al jeff, and i hate to go on the record about this, but one day Ron Artest is gonna pants him. AlJ makes it too easy for himself to get pantsed buddY!

tony is great. delonte is playing in pain. lots of good things going on with this team, despite the losses.

if he got pantsed, you just see his 3 foot penis, and you'd have to acknowledge that he is a beautiful and rare creature, filled with magic and wonder.

ALRIGHT BUDDY U WIN!!

seriously -- lebrons face, with "the next john starks". that is outstanding.

when are we screening some Scal shirts. Scalabring it!

you can't say no to that smile. you had to relent.

look al has 6 fingers on his left hand

he must have stole gerald's, since g-money is rolling with 4.5 on his shooting hand.

I tried to watch the Celts play, but I couldn't make it 10 minutes.

Atleast I still have my Robert Parrish poster.

learn to spell his name right.

don't watch when these kids grow into a great team in three years, then. have fun with that poster.

article about big al (which doesn't mention how he is motivated by Scal's prompting, but we all know its true):

http://www.nba.com/celtics/beat/parquet-jefferson-feature-movin-on-up.html

kids a beast. i'd go fishing with him. just hang out and talk. that's all i want al! why won't you love me?!

John Starks is a Deadbeat Dad. Scalabrine on the other hand has gone on record as saying that whenever he has kids he will have them home schooled and he won't ever beat them unless they talk back to their Mother.

i take it back - they do mention scal:

"His progress is not lost on his teammates, and they have started to understand how to motivate him as well. Brian Scalabrine talked up Camby before the Denver Nuggets game, telling Jefferson that the veteran shotblocker would give him problems."

16 points?!

just another day for Scal

16 pts. and the adoration of his teammates. that was a good day for that new dude filling in for tommy (who was Scal's teammate in jersey) to be the analyst on t.v., because he kept yelling stuff like "veal!". Scal got the tommy award, and then was interviewed by gorman after the game, where Scal unveiled his plan of not showing off his dunking skills before new years -- but now its on! Scala-broughten.

i think scal put up all those points because the soles of dead memphis musicians inhabited his body when he had a giant plate of ribs before the game.

I like how he's starting to range out *past* the 3 point line...moving it back a bit each game. Soon he'll work up to taking down rebounds one handed and just launching them full court. Stern will officially alter leagues rules (the Veal Provision Act) and consider this a 4 point shot. Many will try, but few will succeed like Scal...the net effect: lowering leaguewide FG% and Scal wins the shooting tittle for the year.


MARK MY WORDS!!!

I heard Scal hasn't masturbated all season and that's the secret to success.

I think this is actually a photo of Scal teleporting, since none of the Grizzlies seem to know how he got to the hoop.
Look at Gasol on the right. He's straight trippin'! Doesn't even know what's happening to him.

that photo of scal is going to be crafted in stained glass and installed in one of the new ICA galleries facing out toward the emerald isle.

Let's all make shirts and sit together. We'll call ourselves the Veal's Cutlets.

Also, did anyone see his epic 3's from about two feet behind the line? DAMN

scal clearly only got in for three plays that game and wanted to finish even though the play was already whistled dead. can't never have enough practice, if you ask scal.

you can kind of see tony scowling like, "c'mon man"

i liked this exchange:

although i think bernard king is much more applicable than john starks. i also think lebron will realize his strengths and become one of the best ever. but they need to build around him, he needs to play with better players and he just needs to mature more. it'll happen, he's got a lot of good years left.

We need to send that link to all the sports writers in Boston. It's time for this thread to get some print recognition.

who will throw in to take out a 1/4 page ad in barstool?

How much does said ad cost?

"And finally, Brian Scalabrine took his turn, with 16 points on perfect 4-4 shooting from three-point range. While Szczerbiak and Scalabrine had hot hands from long range, ultimately it was the Celtics’ ability to score in the paint that did the Grizzlies in."

"Rivers singled out Brian Scalabrine for playing the best defense on Dwight Howard and nearly everyone else for negative nods. "


And Scalabrine is man enough to admit when he makes a mistake, learns something, and plays hard another day.

Brian Scalabrine was sitting by his locker when he said, “You know, I never knew we’d miss Paul for his defense so much. We knew we’d be in trouble without his scoring, but I never realized how important Paul is to this team on the defensive end.�

i emailed the stool. more info to come.

Controversial opinion: Scalabrine is the All-Star MVP, leading the East to victory.

Reports are coming in that Scalabrine has already been offered a spot in the upcoming slam dunk contest, but has said that he doesn't want it made public, and quietly declined to allow Gerald Green to go in his place and get some practice for the playoffs.

do you think that if one were to theoretically do a celtics zine( revolving mainly around the theme as scal as the veal messiah)

one could theoretically get a press pass

that would theoretically allow her to gain access to the locker room

and theoretically see scal and the other celts in the buff

hypothetically speaking

this is on or around my wildest dreams

that doesn't seem totally out of touch, dont_ask.

THE VEAL MESSIAH would also be a good tshirt idea

Scal goes out to Gillian's and asks girls if they "have a little veal in them?" and then when they say no he says, "Well, would you like a little veal in you?"

IT NEVER FAILS!

he spits, he scores

if you get a press pass, and happen to see al jefferson's 3 ft. penis, please report on whether it is rare, magical, or both. thanks.

aWAITing

Al Jefferson is actually a Pokemon

"Al Jefferson is actually a Pokemon" =A+ LOL

no word yet. i don't think they thought i was serious.

Maybe we should look into buying a billboard in Allston, like that one on the corner of Linden and Cambridge that you see while you going over the bridge. Something like "Thank for another Great Season Brian. VEAL POWER" Then a link to this thread.

did you guys see this?!? AHAHAHAHAHA

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No player sees a bigger discrepancy than Brian Scalabrine. On the road, he earns praise for his defense, scores a season-high in points (16 at Memphis), and rebounds more effectively. At home, he hears boos almost as soon as he touches the ball. Scalabrine averages 4.1 points on the road, 1.8 at home. He shoots 44 percent on the road, 38 percent at home. He claimed last Wednesday's game against Cleveland was his "worst game of the season."

"I've got to get over this home thing," said Scalabrine. "We've got to get over this home thing. Maybe if I start playing well at home, we'll all start playing well at home.

"Maybe 10,000 people booing me makes me play bad. I don't know why our team plays bad. They like our guys. They love Gerald [Green] and Al [Jefferson]."

they all play bad, because they love Scal so much that the boos hurt them all, personally. gerald goes to dunk in someones face, and then loses his desire - thinking that the crowd doesn't deserve such a thing, when they show no respect to scal.

SCAL NEEDS US!

lets all go to a game and be the personal cheering section he completely deserves!

he makes 3 mil. a year, he can buy us seats to sit in a special 'veal cutlet' section.

luke, your boy tony allen goes up for a show off dunk after the whistle and is now said to be out for the season....the celts are falling apart right before your very eyes.

GREG ODEN. GREG ODEN. GRED ODEN. GREG ODEN. GRED ODEN. (echoing through the TD Bank North American Garden)

How does the NBA all star ballot work? Fan Voting? If so how many votes will it take to get Scalabrine on the team?

everythings fucked.

please direct your thoughts and prayers here

Why Pray when all of our hopes and dreams are in this thread?

Why go with Faith when you've got the Hard Science of Scalabrine. It's practically a Creationist Vs. Evolutionist argument.

Why sit around waiting for a saviour when Scalabrine is a physical reality which stands before us everyday. He is proof of his own existence.

it was all a lie


mutumbo worship thread

We also don't need to sweat it because it's my understanding that any team in the Celtics division could take it with only 30-33 wins.
I figure Scalabrine is good for that just on games that he totally takes over.

brad, even GODS AMOING MEN LIKE SCAL cave to injury

he went out in the second quarter last night

:(

OMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

eh I bet he has read enough Wolverine comics in his day that some kind of powers were transferred to him and he will heal super quick. Plus I bet he pounds mad smoothies when he's at home.

This Website let's you sign up for breaking news on Scalabrine being sent to you e-mail. Everybody do the right thing.

SCALA-MAIL

keep the veal in your thoughts! #44. eat something fried for him.

dunk on your bedroom-door hoop 44 times until he grows wings.

Dudes: I'm going to the game on the 19th. The question is: Shirt with website? Sign with website? What are the rules with signs?

no bags... i think signs are chill.


BRIANSCALABRINEWORSHIP.COM

bummer about scal's knee, but it deosn't seem that serious.

tony's injury is one of the saddest things for the celtics in a long time. that dude worked his ass off to get over his first knee injury, and to finally be playing at the level people thought he could (and even better than that). his grandmother was at the game as a surprise to him, for his birthday, and she ended up going to see him at the hospital and watching him cry, because he's got a hard year of work ahead of him to come back from another injury.

i'm fucking tired of the 'what a dumb play, trying to show off...serves him righ' comments. its bullshit. that injury could have happened at any time, and dunking after the whistle happens 10 times a night. he landed funny, and he's now out for 6 months. why is it fun for people to laugh at that, and say he deserved it for doing something frivolous?

considering that playing in the nba is probably his dream, and he was playing great -- consider if playing some awesome tour with your band is your dream, and get carpal tunnel playing guitar hero, and then you have to quit playing music for a year, right when you thought you were going on some dream tour? stupid way to hurt yourself, but would that make you any less dejected? probably more so.

i realize this rant is a little 5th grade, but i feel really bad for the guy. i don't think its funny. i don't laugh at people when they get hurt, and i think people are being dicks in boston right now.

Right on, lucasp. People are getting really ridiculous about this. Sure, if he hadn't continued the play he might have been fine, but he could have jammed the ball like that on any dunk and come down weird. It totally sucks, and it had nothing to do with him being a dumbass.

Dikembe Mutombo swatted the shot by the kid half his age, then wagged his index finger to the crowd's delight.

Mutombo stuffed another shot by Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum 3 minutes later to move past Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and into second place on the NBA's all-time blocks list.

The 40-year-old Mutombo had five blocks in all and matched a season high with 19 rebounds in the Houston Rockets' 102-77 win over the Lakers on Wednesday. He now has 3,191 blocks, two more than Abdul-Jabbar on the all-time list.

"When I came into the league 16 years ago, I told myself that I just want to be remembered for one thing," Mutombo said, "just to be one of the great defensive players to ever play this game."

Mutumbo has ancient wisdom. I will visit him in the forest and learn his secret.

Rick Fox is in a new TV show on FX with sex scenes.

how is that even a choice? i'd piss on rick douchebag fox's face.

Scal is a true gentleman and a scholar. Men give respect, women yell 'holla'.

when this hits 1,000 replies, we need to have a party at TJ SCALAwaggles. they've got the scala, we''l bring the brine.

OMG, did anyone see the video footage of Scal discussing driving Tony Allen to the hospital during the 2nd quarter of tonight's game? When asked if he wanted an ambulance Allen alledgedly said, "Man, this is better than an ambulance. This is SCAL!"

I seriously teared up. What a teammate. I hope somebody puts this on youtube.

Also, Scal looked daper as always on the bench in his sportscoat.

Scal studied Health Care while he was in college and he knows how much an ambulance ride can cost even for those who are insured. That was smart thinking on his part. He probably saved Tony $500, which Tony could now donate to Scal's summer camp so more kids can learn strong basketball fundamentals.

so bummed about the celtics right now.
at least the young dudes get playing time

from an artspace in keene, n.h. the artist had no idea who brian scalabrine was, but obviously god took over his hands, as a sign to the faithful:

artscal

herf

if pixnit made brian scalabrine stencils, it'd be a lot cooler (and legal, i think)

lucas save it onto your computer and put it on flickr or something

what better time than now for a team mural prominently featuring OUR BOY....

anyone seen any news on scal's tweaked knee? i assume he'll be back soon, since keeping scal off the court is like injecting a grizzly bear with large amounts of PCP, and then trying to confine it in a cage made of popsickle sticks and paste.

is it that they are good men on a rotten ship, or just a ship of fools?

they are all good men, its just stormy seas. next year will be different. Red will be tired of all the hot babes and never-ending cigars in patriarch heaven, and he'll start working some magic down here.

Allan Ray?

he almost lost his eye in the tournament. he may not be a good player, but seems like an okay dude. he could be a pure shooter off the bench, someday. his ceiling might be steve kerr-like, but that isn't horrible.

kandi seems like a fun dude to hang out with. he may be a stiff, but i'll give him that.

GO CELTICS

*pumping up sneakers while preparing to type this post*

hopefully, dee will be considered the poor man's gerald.

has anyone seen the episode of Rob and Big, where they play paintball? after a victory, Big is screaming "we do work! we do WORK!" i imagine that this is identical to what Scal does after completing a vicious set on the weight bench. do work, kids. do WORK!

i bought a $5 celts scratch ticket the other day and it was A COMPLETE LOSER

bad luck or a larger conspiracy afoot/ankle/back/knee???????

U DECIDE

the last winning ticket was in '86. i'm surprised you didn't go to buy the ticket, and they just smash your knee with a bat.

even if you win, its something ethereal.....like a tommy point. no cash prizes.

i getz no respect

you should go "back to school".

my boss burnt the kitchen down with his popcorn antics.

why dont u reply to my pm? how uncouth.

Scalabrine is playing tight end for the Patriots today. I heard he is a great blocker and pretty good at catching passes in the backfield.

Scal is to the Cs as Dan Klecko is to the Colts (and was to the Pats). Versatile, and a warrior. Scal isn't having his MCL repaired, right now. He's getting specially crafted, super-duper, bio-engineered robo-MCLs put in. He will dominate with dunks like Flea dominated with the 10point shot in rock and jock.

Did you know that Flea's Rock and Jock Basket Ball Jersey was retired? No one shall ever where the number 69 again.

SCAL IS DOING DAMAGE CONTROL IN THE PATS POSTSEASON

HE DOES GOOD COP BAD COP WITH BELICHICK

SCAL JUST CALLED ME AND SAID HE "CAN NOT WAIT TO BLOW IT UP" AT THE SECOND GALLERY DANCE PARTY BENEFIT! I TOLD HIM TO ROLL DEEP AND HE LAUGHED AND ASKED ME WHEN HE DIDN'T.

its true. when he rolls, it is always the deepest.

Did Scal play in that JAM BALL league that was on cable with the trampolines or was it just his idea?

both

That league ruled. What happened to it? I assume it was too raw for mainstream culture, and it's not played in underground thunderdomes?

i just heard that scala is going to be flying to korea this spring to join a professional unreal tournament 2007 team of expats!

scal had a sick block during his 4mins of playing time, yesterday. in your face, evil wizard.

Scalabrine said he drove himself and Allen, along with Allen's mother to the hospital "NASCAR style", with two feet because he couldn't lift his right leg to press the break. Scalabrine reports that while Allen's mother was asking for an ambulance ride to the hospital, Allen told her, "No, this is better than the ambulance. This is Scal!"





NO THIS IS BETTER THAN THE AMBULANCE, THIS IS SCAL

we need a new thread :(

we just need matt to fix it

this thread can't die.

I vote for a fix. It will also re-legitimize the post count. No reason why we shouldn't have a solid 1K before the seasons end!

1K you say??? I doubt it.

no, really.

no way.

We've come this far. I don't see why not.

celts are hurting

im hurting



they need us now more than ever

amen, brother. i've still been watching most games, basically do see what the kids are learning. big al has been a bright spot. as much as i'd love a top 2 pick, at this point, its getting hard to not feel like crap when your team loses 11 a row (and counting). i have an inexplicable good feeling about tonights game against the pacers.

scal may drop 40. 12-15 from beyond the arc.

LETS ALL JOIN HANDS AND PRAY AGAINST

unlucky # 12

scal drops 40, and delonte kills a dude with his bare hands. probably jr. dunleavy.

okay, i was a little off in my prediction. forever the optimist. tonight, Perk will break Kobe in half with this bear hands, while Scal cackles "put him in a body bag!". this team needs to start getting its hockey on. you may lose, but at least kick some ass.

the bruins also could stand to be more like...umm...hockey players, too. how do you take 2 poundings in a row, and not rumble? they need to bring back their own version of Scal -- P.J. Stock.

Our boy had 17 pts in 22 minutes. He could have played 44 and had a nice 34 pts, but he wanted to give Gerald some more playing time to bone up on his dunks.

he's like jordan and buddha, all in one body. maybe more like bird and confucious. maybe all 4.

hunter s. thompson and rudy tomjanovich. scal battles, internally, both the mountain lions on his proverbial property, and kermit washington's proverbial sucker punch.

from the daily dime, on espn.com:

Here's an interesting fact -- Brian Scalabrine possesses the top brain type for basketball, according to brain researcher Dr. Jon Niednagel. That's one of the reasons Ainge got him -- Scalabrine has a brain type similar to Jerry West, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan.

as if there was any doubt!

I'd like to see Scalabrine's Venn Diagram or any number personality tests that he would be willing to take and release the results of publicly.

GO CELTS! NEW WORLD LOSS RECORD 2NITE!

Are the Celtics going to be playing the Washington Generals this year?

hey hey hey....settle down, over there. 16 championships, motherfucker. we'll talk about the generals when boston doesn't still have the most championships ever. nba record for consecutive losses is 23 or 24 -- so we're not quite there yet. althoug, it may be time to take a break and follow the vermont frost heaves, or the cape cod frenzy, in the ABA.

some people on the celtics blog are coming correct:

http://www.celticsblog.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=64&topic=1291.msg19958;to picseen#new

Last night, in a bold movie, Danny Ainge offered the Grizzles a 12 pack of Sam Adams, Sebastian Telfair, and all the clam chowder Jerry West could eat for Pau Gasol. Methinks that we'll have a new center and a new chance to get to the playoffs. Scal is currently taking a vow of silence until the playoffs, so he can release the fury.

jim mora just called, and said, "playoffs? PLAYOFFS?!"

BREAKING NEWS: Dan Marino ate some bad Crawfish and is in the hospital. Word is that Scalabrine is already on a plane to Miami to handle the coin toss in his place. SCALABRINE BOWL!!!

tails means he's auto QB, for both teams.

Hi everyone. I'm Miracle Johan. Hi Dan! I wanted you all to be the first to know the Scalabrine song is done and up at

www.purevolume.com/miraclejohan

"ghost wrote 'punks can't stop my dunks'" made it in, as did "scala-bring it, scala-broughten". In fact, here's all the lyrics:

It's Awesome O'Clock.....
It's awesome oclock, you know what that means?
trouble for other teams cause Scal's on the scene
high on caffiene so fresh and so clean
got bball i.q. spilling out my spleen
a regular machine at stayin in between
the ball and power forwards denying them pristine looks
like the crooks who stole my canteen
full of chunky soup and my lean cuisine, i'm scalabrine
scala-bring it, scala-broughten
5 year deal maybe spoiled rotten
red hair white skin now i'm soft as cotton
don't tell me you're not jealous i got the life y'all dream of
the tint gets all steamed up on my s-u-v
on the way home from games or at the jamboree
cast your all-star ballot if you're absentee
write me in its scala to the b-r-i-n-e

its awesome oclock....

when i get hot hear me sizzle my sweat's like bacon
i'm not faking i'm the realest of the real and i'm taking it serious
turnn the dreamers into realists
y'all need me on the court can't resist my emphasis
on spacing and movement
i'm not shaq but he googled me, see?
ghost wrote punks cant stop my dunks
that was me getting down in 1993
this is me now in 2007
it's awesome oclock, a little taste of heaven
a taste of veal, my skills are veiled
my appearance betrays my hype, i emailed
dr john niednagel to double check my brain type
he said i'm the smartest man alive
i was like woah thats awesome dude
want to hear me waste a solo, i been practicing like a year dude,
its awesome...
(guitar solo)

thanks for this thread...truly inspiring!

also, check out an article i wrote on how awesome the 14 game losing streak was at

Top in honor of Motherfucking Miracle Johan the one and true savior

thanks you dudes, this thread makes me happy. thanks. i was thinking if i get allo the other players done in a reasonabkle amount of time, i could do a hundred songs for scal. Like a Scabs box set.

Make sure to update this thread with progress on other songs.

Someone should start working on a Scalbrine Re-mix.

Green will show his All-Star stuff

By Shira Springer, Globe Staff | February 6, 2007

WALTHAM -- The NBA yesterday named Gerald Green one of the four competitors in the All-Star dunk contest, a decision Danny Ainge would call a no-brainer. Barring any players named as replacements for injured participants, Green will be the only Celtics representative at the Feb. 16-18 festivities.

Given the dunks Green pulls off in games and practices, he appears the early favorite in a field that includes defending champion Nate Robinson of the Knicks, the Magic's Dwight Howard, and the Bulls' Tyrus Thomas.

Green has bounced balls off walls and championship banners at the Celtics' practice facility for seemingly easy dunks, so there is no telling what he will do during the contest.

The second-year Celtic said he has a special dunk planned that he believes will impress the seen-it-all Las Vegas crowd, and though neither he nor his teammates would reveal any details, Tony Allen said that if Green nailed the "crazy" dunk he has planned, it will go down as "one of the top 10 in history." Green did divulge that Paul Pierce would be present at the contest and incorporated into one of his dunks.

"I've been thinking about [a big dunk], just in case I got invited to the dunk contest," said Green. "Hopefully, I can pull it off. You just go out there and do it. There isn't really a process. It takes a lot of thought, but you really don't have to practice it, especially if you know you can do it."

But not lost in the buzz about Green being named was the fact that he has struggled this season. As coach Doc Rivers noted, Green would be playing a much less prominent role if the Celtics were healthy.

"It's good for him, but it's the dunk contest," said Rivers. "I hope someday he's there [as an All-Star]. To me, that would be the goal. It will be fun for our guys to cheer for something. You'll at least see one Celtic uniform there.

"Let's be honest, if Paul and Wally [ Szczerbiak] and Tony were all healthy, Gerald would not be playing a whole bunch right now. He's taken advantage of this. He's inconsistent defensively. There's so many things he has to learn to do to be a good basketball player. To his credit, he works on it."

Said Green, "I'm pretty excited, but I wish our record was a lot better. I'm going to try to go out there and win it for my team, my friends, and my family."

Running in place
Pierce spent the tail end of practice running on a treadmill as his teammates walked through a series of plays, but he participated in virtually the entire workout. Rivers said Pierce was "most likely out" for tomorrow's game against the Heat, though he quickly added he didn't know for sure. The likeliest comeback date is Friday against the Nets. "He looks OK on the floor," said Rivers. "He doesn't look tired, but he's only going short spurts. That's probably what he's going to do when he comes back anyway. So, I don't think conditioning will be a problem for him early on because he's not going to play the traditional 35 minutes. He's going to play in bursts." . . . Allen spent three hours working with the training staff as he continues rehab from ACL surgery. "I'm getting better day by day," he said. "I'm coming here every day, trying to make the best of it, keeping a positive spirit."

Lost cause
On the loss of his hometown Bears in the Super Bowl, Allen joined a chorus that blamed the lackluster play of Rex Grossman. "The quarterback we had, I don't want to say nervous, but the atmosphere kind of took him by storm," said Allen. "I think if we had a better quarterback, we probably would have won." . . . The judges for the dunk contest have more star power than the participants. The panel: Michael Jordan, Julius Erving, Dominique Wilkins, Kobe Bryant, and Vince Carter.

hopefully the dunk that involves pierce is that paul whips the ball off of stupid vince carter's dome, for an alley-oop to gerald, while vince suffers a concussion, and retires. they could call it "the retirement party dunk", or possibly "the widow-maker", if vince doesn't pull through. paul will not be charged with anything, because everyone knows vince is an asshole.

Good Lord could you imagine if Scalabrine ended up being the teammate that helps out Green for the dunks. Seems like a pretty good chance given his practice work ethic.

i'm hoping for Cousy. behind the back pass to g$. or, have isiah throw and inbound, with larry stealing it,
and then assisting gerald's vicious mock playoff winning dunk.

Holy shit. If dudes dressed up like Isiah and Larry and recreated that for the dunk contest I think it would be on Sports Center for the next 5 years. Best thing ever?

i didn't say dress up. get larry and isiah. at least larry, assuming that isiah wouldn't want to re-live
the dumbest inbound pass in history. it would be glorious.

scal could totally dress up like bird. floppy blondish wig, funny little mustache.

actually, he should dress like that in games.

See that's why I said Dress up because Isiah's not going to do it. Plus Isiah looks more foolish if someone else plays his part.

he could slip and slide the ball around but always hold onto it, like a metaphorical job for his awful job with the knicks

whoops redundancy
