Rockets going small with their first substitution. Amen Thompson in for Jabari Smith Jr. Smith could be a backup center tonight with Jeff Green out, though Jock Landale has been playing lately. – 7:57 PM

Rockets showing Şengün highlights from last night. Even with the long national TV time out, was not enough time for all of them. – 7:54 PM

Clippers call timeout after Jabari Smith Jr. gets a corner 3 to fall from Dillon Brooks, giving Houston a 13-9 lead with 6:35 minutes left in 1st quarter
Clippers trying to get Ivica Zubac going early. Hasn’t gone well: Zu 0/3 FGs to start, and Harden post entry stolen 1st play. – 7:52 PM

Brief but clear cheers for James Harden in introductions. Good number of Clippers fans on that end of the floor, but definitely louder for Harden than for rest of Clippers. – 7:40 PM

Tyronn Lue on Clippers offense tonight in Houston.
Also asked specifically about the Paul George vs Dillon Brooks matchup. Going back to Brooks in Memphis, Brooks relishes getting under George’s skin.
T Lue says that he likes George going at Brooks, but within confines of team pic.twitter.com/HWhBkBBxFC – 6:23 PM

Ime Udoka on Dillon Brooks: “I think he made his name on the defensive side, so that’s kind of second nature to him. I don’t think he’s the happiest when he doesn’t score, but he’s a guy that understands the challenge and took pride in wanting that matchup (Wemby) last night,… – 6:14 PM

Tyronn Lue mentioned today that Ivica Zubac is still finding his rhythm. Not just from last week’s illness, but also from January’s calf injury.
Acknowledges that tonight is a big night for Zu, but that Clippers need to help him as well. – 6:06 PM

Jabari Smith Jr. is working on the floor pregame. Listed as questionable due to illness and would likely be Kawhi Leonard’s primary defender – 5:39 PM

Will be interesting to see if Damian Jones plays, and how much over the next couple of weeks now that Evan Mobley is likely to miss extended time.
Worth noting that Tristan Thompson is eligible to return from suspension on March 16 against Houston. – 4:15 PM

Spoke with Ime Udoka recently about balancing the equal opportunity offense he talks about while also realizing the need to play through Alperen Sengun.

A lot of great #Rockets content out there. You can find content creators who focus on whatever perspective you’re interested in. It’s been fun to watch the landscape change over the last year. Trying my best to support by reading/listening/watching. – 2:57 PM

Rockets Jabari Smith Jr. (illness) and Jeff Green (left knee pain) are questionable to play vs. Clippers tonight. Rockets have had only 1 game this season in which Smith or Green did not start, loss in 2nd half of back-to-back to Boston. Whitmore started with Brooks at the four. – 2:23 PM
