The Rockets are one of the most competitive and hardest working teams in the league, due to having a way of getting the most out of each position. The question is, can they keep up their high level of play? They will need to if they wish to be a playoff contender this season. With a record of 23-18 at the halfway point of their season, Houston is currently in third place in their division and 9th in the Western Conference, but only one game out of the 8th and final playoff spot.

About The Houston Rockets
The foundation of the squad being relied upon to make up the difference and get this hard working team into the playoffs is point guard Aaron Brooks, power forwards Carl Landry and Luis Scola, small forward Trevor Ariza, and shooting guard Shane Battier. These guys have kept the Rockets hanging around during the first half, and they are the ones that need to keep playing tough over the course of the second.
Brooks not only leads the attack on the hardwood floor, but he also leads the team in points (18.6) and assists (5.1) for the season so far. Landry is the second leading scorer with 16.2 points per game, while also pulling down 5.6 rebounds a contest. Small forward Trevor Ariza follows on the scoring list (15.9 points per game) while also grabbing 5.6 rebounds and dishing out 3.7 assists, while leading Dallas with 1.75 steals a game, which is also good enough for 10th place in the NBA. Rounding out the top performers are Scola (15 points, 1.9 assists), who leads them with 8.8 rebounds (2.1 offensive, 6.7 defensive), and Battier (8.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists), who tops the blocks list with nearly one per game.
Order tickets now, and come support a team which will work hard and leave everything out on the floor each and every night as they fight to make the playoffs. The Houston Rockets have the talent and desire to be a serious contender, so be there for the second half of the promising 2009-2010 season.
In July of 2009, the Houston Rockets picked up Trevor Aziza and signed him to a 5 year contract to help replace the injured Yao Ming. Ariza is not new to the game, coming from the championship team Los Angeles Lakers. Hopefully for the Houston Rockets ticket holding fans, Arzia will find his groove with his new team and a new home at the Toyota Center in Houston. A new face could be just what the team needs to boost their ticket sales.
