HOUSTON ROCKETS
The Houston Rockets are an NBA team based in Texas, plays in the southwest division of the western conference in the NBA. The team was established in 1967 and played in San Diego, California for four years as the San Diego Rockets, before moving to Houston in 1971. They play their home games at Toyota Arena and their head coach is Kevin McHale.
PAST CHAMPIONSHIP
They made their first appearance in the play offs in 1967 after drafting Elvin Hayes. After Hayes was traded, Moses Malone was later acquired to replace him. “Malone went on to win the MVP award twice, and lead Houston to the conference finals in his first year with the team. He also took the Rockets to the NBA Finals in 1981.”(NBA.com). The Rockets won two championships in 1994 and 1995.
BEHIND THE NAME
The Rockets was selected as a city's theme "A city in motion"Liquid-fuel Atlas rockets were also being manufactured in San Diego. When the team moved to Houston in 1971, it kept the name Rockets, as Houston was home to a NASA space center. ( NBA.com).
BAD TIMES
The Rockets were struggling to reach the basket when they played against the Suns which is not a very good team. Rockets depend too much on Hayden who was missing buckets.
My Predictions
The Rockets are fighting for the third place with Portland. The rockets are surely making it to the playoffs . They probably going to play Spurs which is a good game, The spurs have a bigger percentage of winning. They will be a good team if they don't trade James Hayden.
STARS IN THE PAST
Elvis Hayes - He was a 1967 NBA draft, they made their first appearance in playoffs in 1967.
