The Houston Rockets could have begun the season with a Gasol brother at center, but a trade veto and a team willing to shell out big bucks to keep its rising star have kept the Rockets reeling after Yao Ming’s retirement. Rockets tickets for the new 2012 NBA season schedule are not basketball tickets for a team that is completely broken. Rather, Houston is in a familiar place, playing with a roster capable of overachieving.

About The Houston Rockets
The starting lineup will be composed of Kevin Martin and Kyle Lowry in the backcourt and Luis Scola, Chase Budinger, and Hasheem Thabeet in the front court. The Rockets may not have a superstar, but they had an excellent shooter/scorer in Martin, a developing second option in Budinger, and Lowry finally gets the point guard position. Martin is unhappy though. He was supposed to be sent to New Orleans as part of the package to bring Pau Gasol to take over as center. The front office needs to do their best to resuscitate this waning relationship.
Budinger is an interesting player. He has oodles of athleticism but has yet to figure out how to utilize it on the court. He has refined his outside shot and become a serviceable starting small forward. The Houston Rockets has a point guard who can distribute as well. Lowry became a 17 point, 7 assist player at the end of last season. Add Thabeet as a defensive force in the middle and let Scola remains a solid player no matter how ugly his game happens to be.
The Houston Rockets could have had a decent bench too. Patrick Patterson and rookie Marcus Morris could surprise as power forwards, center Jordan Hill is effective in limited minutes, and Courtney Lee is coming off the bench as a decent outside scorer. This is not a promise. The Rockets bench is young and susceptible to inconsistent play.
The TicketSpecialists has the Houston Rockets tickets for the 2012 NBA season at the Toyota Center. The schedule is shorter this season, and that will amp up the competition and make every seat more than worth the price of admission.
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.
