2004–Present: T-Mac and Yao Era
The 2003-2004 season witnessed a record of 45-37, similar to the last season, but this record earned their first playoff berth of the new millennium. However they were eliminated in a similar fate as their preceding teams, being knocked out with a 4-1 record in the first round of the playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers. Then during the offseason the Rockets trio ended as Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley and other familiar teamates were traded to the Orlando Magic, but in return was Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard, and many others. McGrady and Yao led their team to their best record in 10 years, finishing the year at 51-31 and seeded 5th in the Western Conference Playoffs. Their season ended in the first round of the playoffs as they lost to their in-state rival, the Dallas Mavericks 4-3 in the Western First Round, and during the 2005 offseason the rockets obtained Stromile Swift, and Derek Anderson. They have also traded Mike James to the Toronto Raptors for Rafer Alston. As both McGrady and Yao have returned to the court, there is a tiny beam of hope that the Rockets could still clinch the last place of the playoffs, though due to McGrady's injury that hope has mostly been dashed. Their record now stands at 29-40, with a suffering loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers, 104-102, for it is the first time Lebron James has managed a win over the Rockets. However, they have no draft picks for the 2006 NBA Draft as they have traded all their draft chances to the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Portland TrailBlazers.

ROckets will probably make a trade or so to get some pick in the draft. Even though next year's draft is supposed to be great, we shouldnt be interested in rookies at that point. Yao and TMac will be in their prime and the rockets will truly be contending for a title.

wikipedia is a complete joke. Anyone can write anything on that site IIRC.
