The Houston Rockets have added Ron Artest to their talented team and look to be one of the West's elite teams. They have some of NBA's best on the team, including Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. Both players have proven time and again that they are the cream of the NBA's crop and they can sell Rockets tickets like nobody else. It looks like this could finally be the year the Rockets get past the first round of the playoffs, and likely a bit further than that.

It looks like Artest is ready to recognize his role as a compliment to Yao and Tracy. "More than anything, I'm here to be a complement. I'm not here to be the face. I ain't here to be the No. 1 name," Artest told ESPN. Artest has also said that Rockets coach Rick Adelman is his favorite coach.

As the Rockets showed the NBA world last year, they are capable of taking on pretty much anyone- the 22 game winning streak proved that. Considering the fact that Yao wasn't even there and the fact that their defense will be tons better with Artest should be giving the Lakers, Spurs, Jazz and the rest of the West something to think about. It is certainly going to be a good year to have Houston basketball tickets, so don’t miss out on any of the action.

Houston is already going bonkers, so it looks like its going to be an exiting season for the Texas team. With excitement at this level you can be sure that Rockets tickets will be selling a hot item in Houston as season long.
