Time to experiment

With the Rockets playing their first three preseason games in the next four days, they will experiment not only with rotations and combinations but also with strategies.

Coach Rick Adelman said he could use players for extended minutes in one game, replacing them with other players in the next game. He sounded more interested to see how different schemes would work. Against the Spurs tonight, he could try double teams and defensive rotations he did not use with Yao Ming last season. Against the Celtics, he might look at ways to send help defense.

“We’re going to do that for sure,” Adelman said. “We’re going to pick games, who we’re playing (against) and what they like to do.”

Rehabs on track
Tracy McGrady had no problems Monday, the day after his first scrimmage with the Rockets in training camp. As planned, the Rockets stepped up a portion of his off-court workouts, though he did not scrimmage.

Shane Battier added shooting drills to his rehabilitation from a pulled hamstring. He is not likely to return to practices until the Rockets return from their road trip Saturday
