Thanks a lot Gerald Wallace. A headache? Didn’t Wallace and Jackson recently making fun of Tyson Chandler for having no ‘heart’. Come on Gerald. It was one of those weeks when a single player could have made all the difference between a win and a loss, and I got the loss. Why does it always seem that it’s the guy on my team who doesn’t play rather than one of my opponents players? Oh well, such is fantasy basketball.
