    Well, it's that time of year again. As of today, free agency begins and the hopes and dreams of many a basketball fan hinge on what his or her favorite team does from this point on to upgrade talent and/or fill much needed holes.

    So, I call on the Rocket fan brotherhood to say a little prayer and sacrifice something to the bball gods (Dr. Naismith, Red Auerbach, George Mikan, Dennis Rodman) to bring our team good fortune this offseason. (OK, I'm bored to tears right now so just bare with me.)

    So, I'll start...


    Dear gods of the hardwood,

    I pray to thee that the Houston Rockets secure the player(s) they covet.
    May the vacant black hole by which we call the power forward position become abundant in talent.
    I ask you, that the miniature riches we posses may be shared with those that are more needing of such small ball-handlers.
    And, all I ask in return, is that we may attain someone who can clean thy glass and who is TALL and mighty.
    I pray to thee, that Bonzi Wells may be blessed with the fortitude to push thy food away.
    And finally, I beg of you. Please allow Steve Novak and Vassilis Spanoulis to gain the power of the gods and excel so that my brotherhood may rejoice in grand unison.

    By the father, son and the holy sneaker,
    Anet


    I sacrifice a bottle of Windex (rebounds), my son's Lego's (blocks) and a box of Viagra (height) to gain a good PF.

    I also sacrifice my wife's DVD set of Charmed, seasons 1-7. I don't know what for, but I can't stand them and want them gone.


    So, what will you sacrifice.

    Any updates on the local sports broadcast? I am out of town and can't wait to see who the Rockets focus on during the early hours of free agency.

    Maybe additional help in the backcourt?? :D

    I have also noticed that, in past years it seems like we have had more info into who we might be looking at this year other than the longshot Rashard we have hardly any news.

    Hahahaha. You made my day. I'll throw in some highlight videos and misleading stats of all the PGs we need to trade away to get this holy PF.

    I have a bad feeling that it's going to be one of Danny Fortson, Chris Webber, PJ Brown or Joe Smith.

    Will a bucket of KFC chicken rather than a live chicken work as a basketball sacrifice like it did in that baseball movie? If so, i can pull it off! ;)
