Rockets in the Head: More Head to Love

Ah, our last Rockets in the Head post for NBA '06-'07... we did so few. We'll now be shifting our focus to the Playoff Hustle--which is no longer Rocket-less in '07. I just wish we didn't have to wait 82 games till now. I'm tired.

**Update** My little guest spot on The Basketball Jones Playoff Preview podcast drops Saturday morning. Rockets in six!

Appropriately, our last Rockets in the Head for this season will be used to announce the official launch of the I Love (Luther) Head Fan Club website. Just in time for the playoffs!

He's our favorite Mr. semi-Clutch. How can you not love that doe-eyed face? We all love Head... every Rocket fan from here to Beijing. It's time to express our love with screen-printed t-shirts and various other fashionable apparel at reasonable prices all proudly pasted with custom pronouncements of our great love of Head. Get some. -- R.H.

Luther Head is Getting His Fan Club

When Luther Head was drafted by the Rockets last season, there was a lot of buzz about his athleticism. We heard talk about his 40+" verticle leap. But we never saw it. Head wasn't much of a dunker last year, even on the break. Eventually, we stopped believing the hype.

Then Luther went and did this (or that above) and had us spinning around, slapping our knees and hooting like old prospectors who struck gold. And we realized we should have done more research. And we would have found this below... from the Wendy's Chicago vs. New York All-Star Classic at DePaul University.

Now we know... and knowing is half the battle. "I Love Head" fan club is back on.
