Brian Scalabrine and 'Code Red'

Brian Scalabrine‘s “Code Red” take after Game 1 of the Heat – Celtics series is wrong. Not only was it exaggerated by Scalabrine to get clicks on the Internet, it was completely opposite of the movie reference. Check out this article here from the website looper.com where they explain the term. I am a huge movie geek so have been waiting for this moment.

Brian Scalabrine’s and Code Red point #3

“It was a training tool for men in the unit, not the opposition.”

Come ‘on Scalabrine! this is Movie Reference 101. The term “Code Red” was used by Marines in Rifle Security Company Wyndward to train men who went outside the chain. The chain is “UNIT-CORE-GOD-COUNTRY.” Willie Santiago chose to write letters to everyone asking to be transferred off the base, so Col. Jessup felt he was being selfish.

Brian Scalabrine and Code Red point #2 — Cheap way to rile up his fan base.

Coach Spolestra didn’t take the bait during interviews today in practice. Check the video below from CLNS Media Boston below. Jayson Tatum and Caleb Martin said it was a hard foul in a competitive game. Scalabrine, in any case, kept pushing his take. Check his article here with Shandel Richardson. I wrote in my article here on our site that it is all part of the rivalry.
