Background - Houston Rockets
The Rockets were originally located in San Diego, California. The club entered the NBA in 1967 along with another expansion team, the Seattle SuperSonics. In its debut season San Diego compiled a 15-67 win-loss record to set an NBA record for losses. (The Philadelphia 76ers broke that record during the 1972-73 season with a 9-73 win-loss record). The Rockets' record entitled them to the first selection in the league's collegiate draft, and they chose Elvin Hayes from the University of Houston. As a rookie Hayes led the league in scoring with an average of 28.4 points per game and helped the Rockets earn their first trip to the playoffs in 1969.
That the Rockets were lost amid professional basketball teams in the late 1960s is not surprising. San Diego entered the NBA in 1967-68 along with the Seattle SuperSonics. The ABA introduced 11 new teams that year, and the NBA would add two clubs the following season. Furthermore, the Rockets' debut season resulted in a 15-67 record, the most losses ever recorded by an NBA team at the time.

Houston Rockets

A starting lineup of Don Kojis and Johnny Green at forward, John Block at center, and Jon McGlocklin and John Barnhill at guard played the team's first game on October 14, 1967, before a crowd of 7,476 in the San Diego Sports Arena. Coached by General Manager Jack McMahon, the Rockets lost to the St. Louis Hawks, 99-98. The team limped to a 2-14 start and didn't earn its 10th victory until Christmas Day. As the Rockets staggered to a league-worst record, they could take consolation in the fact that they would own the first overall pick in the 1968 NBA Draft.
In Game 3 of a first-round playoff series, Houston's Scottie Pippen and Charles Barkley hit the Lakers with an awesome 1-2 punch. Pippen tallied 37 points and 13 rebounds, and Barkley added 30 points and 23 boards as the Rockets won 102-88. But that would be Houston's only hurrah, as Los Angeles closed out the series in four games.
Update The most disappointing team in the league has to be the Houston Rockets. The Rockets have the ability to defeat any single team in the powerful Western Conference if the whole team was healthy at the same time. The Rockets were plagued by injuries all of last year and finished with a disappointing record of 34-48. Tracy Mcgrady and Yao Ming are two of the most dominating players at their position, and should be able to compete for the NBA championship if both play at the same time.
Can the Houston Rockets stay healthy enough through the regular season to make the playoffs and play to their potential? Only one way to find out, come out to the Toyota Center and watch the Houston Rockets LIVE! Get your tickets from Onlineseats.com!
