Rockets Talk - So, what does everyone want to talk about?

On Wednesday, May 6, 2009, Orlando Magic's Rafer Alston, left, reaches out to slap the head of Boston Celtics' Eddie House in the second half of Game 2 of the NBA basketball Eastern Conference semifinal series in Boston. Alston was suspended for one game Thursday by the NBA for the slap. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)

Seems like every time I get off my rear (or sit back on it) and go to typing, Tom has trumped me.  I guess that's what happens when you go pilfer a guy that was better than you in the first place at this stuff.  So, while I try and think of more to write about and then somehow find time to do so before Tom gets to it, what's on everyone's minds right now? 

I have two things I'm asking for:

1.  If you want to write something in depth and with purpose (I don't particularly care the topic as long as it is Rockets involved), just tell me when you put it in Fan Posts and we will put it on the front page.  I'd say 400 words at a minimum.  Also known as longer than anything Dave has ever written and more combined words than I have written in the last month!

2.  Is there anything you want us to write about?  Something we may not have hashed out yet? 

I can tell you this:  Once the Finals are over I'm going to do a "Statistically, what happened in the Rafer Alston trade." post.  And I called it Tom, DON'T STEAL MY IDEA AGAIN!!!

Again?

Am I a repeat offender of this?

Rafer’s all yours. I don’t know jack squat about statistics.

It's actually win win for me

You write bascially what I was thinking. I get to read instead of typing ;-)

Since the Rockets don't have a 1st round pick, but some $$$...

should the Rockets spend a little to add somebody? A glaring need (it has been for awhile) is backup center. With Deke finally retiring (after a WHOLE LOT of WONDERFUL seasons [a few with the Rockets]) a GLARING hole is left as shown by our performance in Round 2 Game 7. We need some bigs besides Chuck Hayes.

I like Chris Anderson or Marcus Camby, but I wanna get some more feedback.

FU, Lee… David’s posts take time and effort.

hmm

Any chance of us getting Boozer? Or you could talk about the million reasons why we shouldn’t keep McGrady.

no way

Boozer would be an idiot to opt out.

So you are saying it's an absolute certainty?
