Apparently Brian Scalabrine doesn't like the fact that fans make fun of him for being overpaid and useless. He's trying to spin it by claiming the chanting of his name takes away from Ubuntu, but we all know what he's really saying: "Stop fuckin' picking on me!" I'm sure the fans will ease up now that we know it bothers him. My beef isn't with Scal, its with Danny and Doc who refuse to admit this guy sucks. Check out Doc's latest quote:

"Scal is an irritant," Rivers said. "He gets into people's skin. He plays so hard. He just plays team basketball. Nothing is going to stand out with his numbers, with his play, except to coaches. You love him because he does everything to win the game."

Scal is irritating to anyone who enjoys watching athletes run, jump, shoot and compete. I might not be Dr. Jack Ramsey but I don't see what he brings to the table. Is it worthwhile to have a guy who knows where he needs to be, but is physically unable to carry it out? And stop giving me this high-basketball IQ crap. Anyone is a brainiac when compared to Tony Allen.

Personally, I'm thrilled the Celtics are through with this grueling 5-games-in-7-days (or 8-games-in 12-nights whichever sounds harder) stretch. For starters, I'm tired of hearing Doc and the media bitch about how difficult the schedule was. It rivaled the Red Sox trip to Japan. Deal with it. As for the play on the court, it's been horrendous. Needing overtime to beat a Milwaukee team minus Michael Redd and Charlie Villanueva is disgraceful. Seems like every night, only one of the Big 3 is on their game. And Rondo and Perkins are regressing. The bench play got so bad, Doc started playing Scal.

Guess I should be in a better mood, considering the team has managed to go 8-2. Once they get their shit together, no team will stop them.
