Scal’s Blog - October 25, 2005

Brian Scalabrine here, just wanting to let you know that I’ll be writing my weekly blog for Celtics.com. In it I will be writing about the ins and outs of daily life in the NBA as a member of the Boston Celtics. So far training camp has been great - I am starting to adjust to the new system, and I hope, that sometime in the year 2005, I will make a jumper.

We have some very interesting concepts here at the Celtics. For instance, I just found out that they want us to eat pizza after games to help us fuel for the next game. Now this is a diet that I cannot recommend for you weekend warriors who already need to lose a few pounds, but it is the way that we do it here. We found out that Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the optimal breakfast food for performance - also not recommended for weekend warriors. I just hope I can stay lean with my new diet, because some fans might think that I look like a weekend warrior!

Did anyone see the USC football game last Saturday against Notre Dame? Of course my Trojans pulled it out, but it was an ‘Instant Classic.’ USC has looked great at times, and then very shaky at other times, but I have to keep faith with my Trojans because they just have so much talent.

Yesterday we played my former team - the New Jersey Nets - and it was great to beat them the way we did (for those of you who don't watch the pre-season we won by 30 pts), and it was also great to see my old friends from the Nets. J-Kidd took the day off, and in turn so did the rest of the Nets. But I think that they will be ready to go on Tuesday when we play them in New Jersey.

Each week I am going to give you an ‘MVP of the Week’ but it is going to be a little different than the typical MVP that you see others get. It will sort of be like Brian Scalabrine's MVP, based off of players I think hooped for that week. This week I picked ‘The Original Greene,’ aka OG, aka ‘The Big O part 2.’ I thought ‘OG’ played great, and really pushed the ball when he got the opportunity; he, like me, has still not made a jump shot, but he did all the things that make him my MVP.

Not bad for my first blog but I promise I will get better next time.

Brian
