With NBA season coming up, no team is feeling more pressure than a Houston Rockets. During the off-season, they have upgraded their roster by trading for Ron Artest to help out Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. There is one main reason why Rockets signed problematic Artest, and that is to advance farther into the playoffs. Tracy McGrady in his career, NEVER advance farther than the first round. By looking at his age, 29, he doen't really have many chances now. This means that Yao-Mcgrady duo are running out time. Getting Artest was a desperate move by the Rockets and they better hope Artest would actually play a "team" game. Because if they don't, chemistry of the team will drop and it will be another early exit in the playoffs for the Rockets.
