Tip-In Points: He Who Smelt It … Celtics
Anyone can suggest adds and drops for the NBA fantasy fans out there, but few make those suggestions from the gut. We’ve also sprinkled in tons of helpful stats for all fantasy formats too. Because that’s the kind of fantasy help you deserve.

Ray Allen, BOS Lightweight boxing champ Manny Pacquiao stopped by the C’s locker room and signed boxing gloves for everyone there. Then Pac-man lingered until halftime to explain what’s happening to his favorite team: they’re getting punched in the mouth by any and every team they come in contact with. Unlike the night before Allen shot (and made) shots, but in his last two games the man with the second-most 3-point field goals in NBA history has gone 0-for-9.
.
Gerald Wallace, CHA An all-star shooting under 30 percent on the first game of back-to-backs is the equivalent of make-up sex with your significant other. It was totally worth the war one day to reap the rewards the next (28 points on 90 percent shooting).
Stephen Jackson, CHA Grinded through to his third double-double of the season. Jax missed “Third Double-Double of the Season Day” by about 24 hours.
Tyson Chandler, CHA Have I mentioned that Theo Ratliff is putting in about 15 more minutes per game than Chandler these days? No? Coming right up then.
Louis Williams, PHI 1-for-5, Lou?!? Thirty-two percent from the field in your last three games?!? You had your chance, Looey and you blewied it. He shall be known henceforth as Kablooey Louis & The Boos.
Michael Finley, BOS I bet all of Beantown was wicked happy to pick up a guy named Finley and then wicked sad when tey found out he doesn’t look lie Brian Scalabrine. Debuted with 10 points in 14 minutes. Honestly, that’s just about the best you can hope for with this guy.
Marcus Williams, MEM Had 16 points and six assists. It was the best game of his season. Should you be concerned about this? No. If this is his best game, it means he’s not having an impactful season.
Mehmet Okur, UTA He’s scored 83 points in his last four games (20.8) including 18 against his former team. MehmO is averaging six more points-per-game in March than in February, seven more points than in January.
Rasual Butler, LAC There is no Dana, only Rasual. And because it’s only him, he helped himself to six treys and 31 points. What a lovely singing voice he must have.
Chris Andersen, DEN 14 pts/ 10 rbds/ 3 blks. Mustache! Birdman looks like he likes tinkering with muscle cars.
Darko Milicic, MIN Played 27 starter’s minutes and grabbed a dozen boards. If they didn’t include other stats when tabulating doube-doubles, he’d-a had one last night.
Darren Collison, Marcus Thornton, NO Combined to shoot 7-for-27 (26 percent) for a grand total of 19 points. Hmm. Sounds like they got KO’d by OKC’s 6th-ranked defense.
David West, NO Dropped 33 last night and has scored 27+ points in five of his last 11 games.
Russell Westbrook, OKC 17/8/9. No one dances as close to triple-doubles as Russell Westbrook dances to ‘em. The school chaperon keeps making them take a half step away from one another. He’s such a square.
Shawn Marion, DAL February averages: 33 min / 10 pts / 7 rbds. March averages: 34 min / 16 pts / 8 rbds.
Al Harrington, NY Ease off the gas when you’re behind the arc, Albert (1-for-7). Wednesday marked the 22nd games in which the team’s center attempted at least seven treys. It’s also the seventh time he’s failed to make more than two of ‘em. That’s seven too many games.
Tyreke Evans, SAC Too sleepy to see ‘Reke of Nature earn his first career triple-double. Turns out my attendance was unnecessary for him to drop 19/10/10. Goshdarn my need for at least 16 hours of sleep each day. Wakey-wakey, fries and shakey.
L I N E O F T H E N I G H T
30 min / 50% FG / 88% FT / 27 pts / 6 rbds / 8 asts / 2 stls / 1 to
Dwyane Wade, MIA Wade did all this in the first three quarters of the game and spent the final quarter watching the Heat Dancers from the bench. I tells ya, Flash and Crash oughta play back-to-back games all the time … and then magically exclude all stats and results from each of the first games. Look, I’m just the idea man, it’s someone else’s job to see that these things get done.
