With the addition of scoring champion Tracy McGrady, both Houston fans and some Chinese fans alike were starting to think the Rockets were on equal footing with the Pacers—that they were in the same league.

I mean, this was Tracy McGrady. The scoring champion.
The Rockets may have started the season having played four games and lost two, giving them a win rate of only 50%, but Tracy McGrady stressed that he still hadn't reached one hundred percent.
Once he did...
Weren't the Rockets about to take off?
The hype was real.
