Ownership needs to swallow hard and dip deeper into the luxury tax to support Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen with championship-caliber role players. Yet, watch how the past investment into forward Brian Scalabrine comes closer to justifying itself for the Celtics. Just as Scalabrine did on those contending New Jersey Nets teams, his ability to make open shots and make subtle, winning plays on the floor will show.

Scalabrine = 6th man of the year? lol...

CelticsStuffLive, which is usually pretty good... one of the guys said he was worried about Doc starting Scal at the 4 and moving KG to the 5. I shut it off shortly thereafter.

Scalabrine will see 10 MPG this year at most.

I remember when the Celtics first got Scalabrine there was a huge article justifying it. It was all about how he made his teammates better. It had all sorts of statistics showing that when he was on the Nets, when he was playing, other people averaged more points. They were trying to say this was because he was a playmaker and made his teammates better. This was pretty damn retarded.

But hey, he made #208 on Simmon's MVP list!

208. Brian Scalabrine
Not a joke. He played 19 minutes a game before getting hurt last month, shot 40 percent from 3-point territory and played surprisingly good defense, and that's before getting into all the intangibles (great character guy, everyone loves him, etc.). The Celtics were 19-35 when he played and 4-22 without him. Sure, anytime Brian Scalabrine emerges as one of the bright spots of the season, you can probably reserve hotel rooms in Secaucus without even looking at the standings. But given how much abuse I gave Scalabrine last year, he needed to be mentioned. It's not his fault Danny Ainge overpaid him.

ha.. when I saw the Scalabrine wallpaper on celtics.com I couldn't believe it. It must solely be for Southie residents.

I actually think he'll end up getting ~15 MPG this season.
