From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The Houston Rockets is an American professional basketball team based in Houston, Texas. The team plays in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team was established in 1967, and played in San Diego, California for four years, before being moved to Houston. 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 won two MVPs during his time in Houston, and he led the Rockets to the conference finals in his first year with the Rockets. He also took the Rockets to the NBA Finals in 1981, but they were defeated in six games by the Boston Celtics. In 1984, the Rockets drafted future Hall-of-Famer 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 championship, and 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. From Wikipedia under the

I hear a lot that if the Rockets trade T-mac they have to match salaries with the team they trade with. Since T-mac has 23 million left on his contract, does that mean they have to aquire players that equal his salary of $23 million? Asked by Keith - Fri Jun 26 14:59:51 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Technically, matching salaries only come into play when teams are over the salary cap. Teams that are under the cap have a lot more freedom when it comes to making trades and signing players. Since just about every team in the NBA is over the cap, this rarely happens. Over the cap, teams have to match up salaries when they make a trade. The match doesn't have to be exact, but the salaries do have to be within a certain percentage of each other. If a team wanted to trade for T-Mac, they'd have to offer up at least $18,300,000 worth of salaries in return.

When I buy fireworks, some of the bigger rockets have a sort of plastic red cone where the fuse should be. I once lit it which took me a while but then eventually worked. But it takes too long to light and I had one explode 2 feet off the ground. Do i take the red plastic thing off or do I continue to stand with the lighter for like 15 seconds trying to get it to go on fire? Someone who has experience with fireworks please answer.

Q. Why doesn't some group focus on the supply of these rockets? It seems so simple to me that if they could stop whoever is arming Hamas, Israel and the Palestinian people could live in peace.
