Filed under: Rockets, Western, NBA Police BlotterYou know what the Houston Rockets need, now that they’ve been bounced from the first round again, Yao Ming is recovering from a severe foot injury by playing in the Olympics, and they’ve added one of the most volatile players in the NBA in Ron Artest?

Drama. And that’s exactly what Rafer Alston is here for.

Alston was busted for driving while intoxicated on Friday, and posted a $500 bond. This comes almost exactly one year after he was arrested for public intoxication and assault, though he was cleared of those charges. He was also cleared of charges from August 28th last year stemming from allegations he slashed the throat of someone. Now, Skip To My Lou is the only truly competent point guard the Rockets have, and they’re going to need him. But someone might want to tell him not to leave the house during August. At all. Just stay indoors, Rafer!

Take a look. It’s in a book. It’s Reading Rainbow.
