The fire burners in Rockets this season are stars Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming. No fan can afford to miss Rockets tickets at this moment. Before you capture your seats at Toyota Center and help them get a home advantage, let's know more about them.

They took off in 1967, as San Diego Rockets, but fans lost interest in them in four seasons itself. They relocated to Houston in 1971, only to find that city crowd was mad about football. The Rockets, now named Houston Rockets, gained their popularity slowly. The first season was witnessed only by 4966 fans per game, on an average. It took four years to reach the playoffs; Calvin Murphy and Rudy Tomjanovich were their key players. Next year they adopted Moses Malone directly from high school. This was a fair decision as it led to their Central Division win in 1977.

Going steady they reached NBA Finals in 1986, but lost. Losing much of that team to injuries, Rockets started on their downfall. Come 1990s and they had Olajuwon and ...
... Tomjanovich (coach) to lead the team to 15 consecutive wins. Clyde Drexler also joined the team and Rockets won the championship title back-to-back in 1994-95. In these finals Rockets were matched against tough New York Knicks and Orlando Magic respectively, but the Hakeem Olajuwon's fire gutted them all and he won NBA Finals MVP both seasons.

Recently the Rockets tickets have been going low as last season didn't bring much excitement and win. They lost in the first round itself. But things look more promising coming season, as the team is being fuelled by Coach Rick Adelman and the Rockets are ready to burn off with Mike James, Steve Francis, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Luis Scola and Bonzi Wells. Fans can hold on to their Rockets tickets and hope to see their newly crafted offence; the team is already known to have the best defense in the whole Conference.

It was spotted in the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2006, after being nominated the 5th-most recognizable mascot by USA Today, last year. They have played at various arenas previously as Hofheinz Pavilion, HemisFair Arena and The Summit. Currently the Rockets are housed in the Toyota Center, Houston, Texas.
