All the things you will read here are not news. This stuff is not very informative and, for the most part, very useless. But, if you are a true NBA fan like us, you need to know it. Collected on Twitter, in the newspapers or on some blogs, these are “Some things you don’t need to read” #6.

Boston Celtics:

Mike Petraglia (WEEI.com): Kendrick Perkins has an autographed red boxing glove in his locker from Manny Pacquiao. He says he has no plans to use tonight or any night for that matter. Perkins wasn’t the only one with a glove in his locker from Manny Pacquiao. Most of the team had one. “Huge Celtics fan,” according to Doc Rivers. “I don’t know how this stuff is getting in locker room. Honestly wasn’t from me,” Rivers said denying a secret motive.

Tas Melas (The Score): You know the Celtics are bad when Tommy Heinsohn is calling them out, and when you can hear Tommy breathing because the Garden is quiet.

A. Sherrod Blakely (CSNNE.com): Boo birds already out, and we’re not even out of the first quarter!

A. Sherrod Blakely (CSNNE.com): Jump ball with Nate Robinson and 7-foot Marc Gasol. I got Nate!

A. Sherrod Blakely (CSNNE.com): “Cedric Max-well!” chants are picking up. Yep. It’s that bad, people.

Cleveland Cavaliers:

Brian Windhorst (The Cleveland Plain-Dealer): By the way, the Cavaliers became the first team to clinch a playoff spot when the Bulls lost to the Jazz two nights ago.

Dallas Mavericks:

Art Garcia (NBA.com): Brendan Haywood on the Mavericks offense: “We have 2 different gears. We can go 60, the speed limit, or can gun it 95 down the highway.”

Denver Nuggets:

Ty Lawson: Shout out to Johan Petro and his Bill Cousby sweater.

Golden State Warriors:

Chris Reina (RealGM.com): Monta Ellis shooting left-handed 3s after shootaround. He’d actually began shooting respectably with his right from distance.

Tim Kawakami (The San Jose Mercury News): New Warriors slogan: “Cohan Cares.” He really, really cares. Forget about the losing seasons & chaos. Give him your $$. Because he cares.

Los Angeles Clippers:

The Los Angeles Times: Neil Olshey came to Los Angeles to make it as an actor, and now, well, finds himself directing one of the more perplexing franchises in the NBA, one blessed with assets, salary cap space and never-ending intrigue. Just maybe it will take an affable onetime soap opera actor with credits from “All My Children” to deal with this continuing soap opera of an organization.

Los Angeles Lakers:

Team Flight Club: Can you believe Kobe has won as many games this season as the Nets?

Memphis Grizzlies:

Allen Law (Straight Outta Vancouver): Grizzlies offense is a fusion reactor right now. And Hasheem Thabeet looks decent. What’s going on here…

Minnesota Timberwolves:

Jonny Flynn: Chuck Norris found Bin Laden, broke both of his knee caps and let him crawl away.

New-Jersey Nets:

Kelly Dwyer (Yahoo! Sports): They might be up double figures, but I’m still convinced New Jersey doesn’t run any actual plays.

New-Orleans Hornets:

Tas Melas (The Score): Emeka Okafor airballs 2 free throws. Yup, you read that right.

New-York Knicks:

Howard Beck (The New-York Times): Mike D’Antoni had tinkered with big lineup, with McGrady at PG. Now abandoned. “I wanted the big lineup and I didn’t like the way it looked.”

Alan Hahn (Newsday): That shot attempt by Al Harrington (4-for-14) early in the shot clock pretty much summed up this Knicks season. Valuable experience here for Toney Douglas in crunch time. Danilo Gallinari has played well down the stretch too. But Harrington’s shot… just brutal.

Alan Hahn (Newsday): Cabbie here in San Antonio asks why I was in town, told him I cover the Knicks. He pops in a CD, plays “Friends in Low Places.”

Brian Windhorst (The Cleveland Plain-Dealer): Here’s the more interesting playoff nugget: the only East team that has been eliminated is Jersey. Still hope, Knick fans.

Oklahoma City Thunder:

Tas Melas (The Score): Scotty Brooks, go get some sun, man. You’ve earned it.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Kevin Durant gives a Thunder season ticket member some advice before sinking a half-court shot.

Orlando Magic:

Matt Barnes: Seems Lamar can’t keep my name out his mouth maybe I need to put my sons shitty diaper on it.

Tania Ganguli (The Orlando Sentinel): Matt Barnes walked out here and saw a group of reporters & cameras, said surprisedly, “y’all waiting for me??”

Tania Ganguli (The Orlando Sentinel): Stan Van Gundy said defensive player of the year should be easiest award to vote for. Said there’s no question it’s Dwight.

Philadelphia Sixers:

Martin Frank (The News-Journal): Eddie Jordan on team not listening to him: “That’s full of crap.”

Portland TrailBlazers:

Patrick Mills: “Everyone talks about me getting no playing time and no practice time, but I’m dealing with it very well and it’s made me stronger mentally.”

Sacramento Kings:

Sam Amick (The Sacramento Bee): Kiss Cam gets weird at Arco Arena. On Tyreke Evans’ ROY night, an old, white couple both held their Evans masks and then kissed.

Jason Jones (The Sacramento Bee): Got my Tyreke on a Stick. Nice.

Toronto Raptors:

The Toronto Sun: A loud fan sitting courtside threw a question at a Raptor on Wednesday night. “Hey, Chris Bosh!” came the query, “will you come to Sacramento next year?” Bosh, returning to the Toronto bench for a first-quarter timeout, heard the query loud and clear. And judging by the look of disgust on his face, you’d have thought he’d been asked if he was up for, say, a one-way ticket to eternal damnation. “Hell, no!” Bosh said to the fan. On Wednesday night, as that Kings fan kept prodding Bosh about uprooting for Sacramento before Toronto’s third-quarter collapse, Bosh’s teammates threw the taunts back. “Ain’t nobody coming here,” Jack, the Toronto point guard, said. “Nobody even knows it’s in California.”

Utah Jazz:

Ross Siler (The Salt Lake Tribune): “Amazing Chuck?” Kyrylo Fesenko said. “Haven’t you heard the jokes? He uppercut a horse and that’s how a giraffe was made.” I wish I was making that story up but I’m not. OK, turns out Fesenko stole the Chuck Norris joke from Kyle Korver, who has no shortage of them.

Ross Siler (The Salt Lake Tribune): Did you know the Pistons and Raptors are the only two teams Deron Williams never has lost to since coming to the Jazz?

Ross Siler (The Salt Lake Tribune): Carlos Boozer says loudly enough for everybody to hear at this end of the floor: “And it was a foul first.”

Washington Wizards:

The Washington Wizards: Check out video of a strike by Fabricio Oberto from last night’s ballers bowl. (The strike happens 1 minute into the video).
