Rockets guard Rafer Alston (Cardozo) is understandably miffed that the dropping of assault charges against him isn't nearly as big a story as the filing of those charges was in the first place.
"You can deal with things when you know you didn't do it," Alston said. "Now the whole case is over with and they want to keep it silent. I was on the front page when it happened."
A judge's decision to drop the charges related to a nightclub incident last August was mentioned prominently in Newsday.com's NBA Insider blog, for the record.
