Last dress rehearsal

The plan is to use a rotation tomorrow night vs. Chicago that resembles the regular season, though Avery Johnson is making an adjustment necessitated by Josh Howard impending two-game suspension.

“I’m going to have to do a little bit without Josh in there some because we’re going to have two games without him,” Johnson said. “We’ll look at some combinations, maybe even our point guards (Devin Harris and Jason Terry) together like we’ve done in the past.”

Jerry Stackhouse, Trenton Hassell and Eddie Jones figure to share Howard’s minutes at small forward during the first two games. Devean George likely won’t be ready to play in the first couple games, though he reported feeling “great” today.
