"Jeremy feels a lot better today," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "We'll bring him off the bench and see how much juice he's got in the tank. It's always hard to enter a series when you haven't played for a while but, hey, we're going to try to keep what we've got going. We'll definitely try to fit him in there and see how he is and see how his arm feels -- most importantly, if he gets hit or anything happens.
"Playoff series end up kind of having a life of their own. To be thrown in the middle of that rhythm a lot of times is really hard. ... That's why we've got to be a little bit careful. Jeremy hasn't played in a while, and not only has he not played, he hasn't been able to shoot or do anything with any kind of contact for a week or so, so that's always hard."
