I wonder what makes someone name 3 of their 4 boys Robert but stop short of naming the 4th Robert? Do you reach a point where 3 Roberts are enough? Was he starting to get confused? @ Nels - Glad to see that the Bulls decided to wait until day 163 to give Tyrus a little play. I guess they were holding out hope they'd make the playoffs only to be swept in the first round by Boston. And believe it or not, I did have Q-Rich in my lineup last week. Thankfully, he got hurt before he did too much damage to my team. If I had to pick one player who has inflicted the most pain on my fantasy teams over the years, the answer would undoubtedly be Quentin Richardson. The lesson, as always, never trust a Knick. @ NBA Roto – thanks for all that Charlie V info. I wonder what makes someone name 3 of their 4 boys Robert but stop short of naming the 4th Robert?

No problemo.... I'm going to have to give loser of the night to Ginobli. He shot a miserable .250 (I believe) and finished with 8 pts, 4 boards and 4 assists. I need some 32, 10 and 10 games.
