Houston Rockets Tickets
The move to Houston came with a roster led by Hayes, Calvin Murphy, and Rudy Tomjanovich. The 1970s started slowly, but by 1974, the Rockets had become a true playoff team. Murphy and Tomjanovich played with Mike Newlin to finish .500 or better for the first time in franchise history in 1975. The real turning point came in 1976 when the Houston Rockets traded for Moses Malone.
Malone, Tomjanovich, and Murphy were the leaders on the 1980-81 Houston Rockets. The team only went 40-42 during the regular season schedule, but managed to beat the Lakers, the Spurs, and the Kings on their way to the NBA Finals. There the Houston Rockets met the Boston Celtics, who beat them in six games.
The Rockets returned to the NBA Finals in 1986, this time with Hakeem Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson as the twin towers. Again Houston played the Celtics and again they lost in six games. While Sampson would end his promising career a few years later after injuries robbed him of reaching hi potential, Olajuwon remained a rock in Houston. The Rockets took advantage of Jordan's two year hiatus and won two NBA Championships, in 1994 and 1995. The first team featured Olajuwon, Kenny Smith, and a number of role players, but the second Houston Rockets championship squad won with Clyde Drexler, who was reunited with Olajuwon (they played together at the University of Houston).
The Rockets added Charles Barkley and Scottie Pippen to future rosters in the ‘90s, but they could not return to the NBA Finals. Houston started over. They drafted Yao Ming in 2002 and traded for Tracy McGrady. The two gave the Rockets an inside-outside combo few teams had ever seen. Houston built around them every year, trying to find the right mix of role players to support the stars and go back to the finals.

Houston Rockets 2009-10

The Houston Rockets have proven to be a strong contender in the NBA, and should continue to be even with Yao Ming likely to miss the entire season. Given that the Rockets held their own against the Lakers in the playoffs last season, without Yao or Tracy McGrady, they obviously have other weapons amongst their supporting cast, such as playoff standout Aaron Brooks showing some star quality. Despite maybe not possessing the talent and size, players like Carl Landry, Chuck Hayes, Luis Scola, Shane Battier, Kyle Lowry, and Brooks can be counted on to outwork their opponents. Houston has also added Trevor Ariza to the mix which could provide an extra added boost at the small forward position. The past year of basketball in Houston was a satisfying one in which the Rockets and their fans must have felt as if they had finally gotten a monkey off of their backs; after years of first-round playoff losses, Rick Adelman's squad fought to advance to the second round by knocking off the Portland Trail Blazers in six competitive games. With Yao Ming dominating and outplaying anyone Portland threw his way in the low post, and assisted by agile forward Luis Scola, defensive stopper Ron Artest, and explosive guard Aaron Brooks, the Rockets were able to destroy their streak of first-round playoff mediocrity. As yet more proof that the Rockets had taken a step up in the power rankings, Houston forced the eventual world champion Los Angeles Lakers to seven games in the West semi-finals, even after Yao went down with a season-ending injury in Game 3. Of all the teams who did not win the NBA title last season, the Houston Rockets probably impressed observers more than anyone else, a true badge of honor in any NBA locker room. Now fast forward to 2009-2010 for the Houston Rockets. With no Yao Ming and the departure of Ron Artest, the health of Tracy McGrady will most likely be a determining factor of the team's success, even with the acquisition of Trevor Ariza. While the loss of their iconic Chinese big man may undoubtedly hurt the Rockets in the months to come, it is worth remembering that after Houston General Manager Daryl Morey put this team together, the players surrounding Yao stepped up much more than anyone would have suspected in their seven-game battle with the Lakers. The Rockets will be an interesting team to watch and, based on the way this team has been built, many a loyal basketball fan will be rooting for the franchise to do well this season. Why not be a part of this new era which is taking shape at the Toyota Center? Get your Houston Rockets tickets now and follow this team on its journey to the top of the NBA.
