The 2005-06 Houston Rockets season was the team's 39th in the NBA. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 51–31 output from the previous season. However, they came up seventeen games shy of tying it, finishing 34–48, and failing to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in three seasons. [1] Tracy McGrady played in only 47 games after complaining about back spasms while Yao Ming missed time due to foot injuries. Despite their injuries, they were still voted to play in the 2006 NBA All-Star Game held in Houston.
