History
In the
Rockets' debut season, they won only 15 games. But after drafting
Elvin Hayes first overall in the
1969 NBA Draft, they made their first appearance in the
playoffs in 1969. After Hayes was traded,
Moses Malone was 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, but they were defeated in six games by the
Boston Celtics.
[2]In
1984, the
Rockets drafted
Hakeem Olajuwon, who led them to the
1986 Finals in his second year, where they lost again to Boston. In the next seven seasons, they lost in the first round of the playoffs five times. They did not win their first championship until 1994, when Olajuwon led them to the
finals. The team repeated as champions in
1995. However, the
Rockets did not advance to the finals again, and missed the playoffs from 1999–2003. They did not reach the playoffs again until they drafted
Yao Ming and they did not advance past the first round of the playoffs again until 2009.
