The Rockets won at least 50 games for the second straight season and made the playoffs also on the back of a 22-game winning streak, the fourth longest in the history of the NBA. The Houston Rockets came into the 2007–2008 playoffs without Yao Ming, who was still injured. This injury contributed to the Rockets' elimination by the Utah Jazz in the first round (2–4).[1] This was the second consecutive season where the Rockets' had their season ended by the Jazz. The team brought back Steve Francis, but his return was short-lived as he was active for only 10 games, starting 3 of them. It would be his last season in the NBA. Key dates prior to the start of the season: - The 2007 NBA draft took place in New York City on 28 June.
- The free agency period began in July.

RecordsStarting with the 29 January 2008 win versus the Golden State Warriors, the Rockets won 22 consecutive games. The streak came to an end against the eventual champion Boston Celtics. The streak is the fourth longest winning streak in NBA history. Milestones{{Empty section|date=April 2013 }}TransactionsThe Rockets have been involved in the following transactions during the 2007–08 season. Houston will begin the 2007–08 season with recently hired Rick Adelman as the team's 11th head coach.[2] Less than a week later, Scola signed with the Rockets.[3] On 20 July guard Steve Francis signed a 2-year deal with the Rockets, after he accepted a buyout of the last two seasons of his contract, worth roughly $30 million from the Portland Trail Blazers. He is expected to compete for a starting job with Mike James and Rafer Alston [4] TradesOn 14 June, the Rockets traded Juwan Howard to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Mike James and Justin Reed.[5] On 12 July guard Vassilis Spanoulis was traded to the San Antonio Spurs along with the rights for the 2009 second-round draft pick, for center Jackie Butler and the rights to Luis Scola a 2002 second-round draft pick, yet to play in the NBA. 24 Hours after this deal was made, Scola came to a "Basic Agreement" which could see him playing for the Rockets next season.[6] Free agents Player | Former team | Steve Francis | New York Knicks (via Blazers) | |

Court RedesignOn 7 September, it was announced that the Rockets will debut a new court design for the 2007–08 season. The court design includes a lighter varnished wood inside the three point area, similar to the Seattle SuperSonics, while the rest are dark varnished wood. The color red will remain on the Rockets logo, and the script.
