Tracy McGrady is on the inactive list for Houston tonight, resting his sore left shoulder. Luther Head will start in place of McGrady.
Starters for Seattle are the same, with Earl Watson, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Nick Collison and Johan Petro.
For Houston, Rafer Alston, who missed three games with a strained hamstring and did not play against the Sonics in Seattle a week ago, will start at point guard tonight. Head will start for McGrady, along with Shane Battier, Luis Scola and Dikembe Mutombo.
Carlesimo said it will be important for the Sonics to get easy buckets in transition, get to the free-throw line and hit the boards offensively for easy putbacks because of the Rockets' effectiveness on defense.
Carlesimo said he’s unsure what the summer plans will be for his trio of young centers: Robert Swift, Mouhamed Sene and Johan Petro. Although regarding Swift and Sene, Carlesimo said the most important thing is the two get healthy after suffering knee injuries.
Carlesimo and the Sonics will make their first trip to San Antonio on Friday. Carlesimo said it will be a different feeling being on the other sideline.
“I’ve never coached in that building on the other bench, so it will be a very different feeling,” Carlesimo said. “But again when you go in, and you’re in the other locker room it’s just not the same.”
