http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/HOU/ This will be 1st decade where the Rockets have been in Houston, in which the team has failed to reach any type of conference Finals. Since 71-72 season: 70s: Once in 76-77 Eastern Conference Finals 80s: Twice, 80-81 and 85-86, won conference Final and lost both Finals. 90s: Three, 93-94, 94-95, and 96-97, the Rockets won the NBA Championship, twice with a heart-breaking Western Conference Game 6 loss to the Jazz.
Well, let's just hope Aaron Brooks turns into a 50PPG 25APG type of player and leads us to the finals.
Nah this season is the start of a new decade. Last year was our last chance and we were only one game away.
