    Them back to backs get a whole lot tougher without Yao, I still liked our chances but this should even things out a little more.

    No this is only 1 game so I am pretty sure he has to sitout this game, it isn't like MLB.

    Also this is great, I don't care what anyone says about "we would've won if Dirk was playing" and stupid crap like that, if Rockets win this we are 2 up on the Loss column and 3 games up overall, I will take it!

    The "statement" to be made now is how good we can be without Yao, so no it doesn't make it even.

    Aaah! I just can't decide, but you guys are right, it's not like anyone is givin us a break b/c Yao is sidelined.

    I wanted to beat them at full strength also, but the most important part is to make sure we win. I'm tired of losing to Dallas so I just hope we can beat them for once.

    You know, I don't give a **** that everyone's saying "Oh Dirk is a nice guy, it definitely wasn't intentional." This suspension was all about the NBA being consistent in their punishments.

    I wanted the Rockets to beat Nowitzki, but now I'm glad he's not playing. I can't stand watching him. I hate the whiney b****. He sticks his tongue out and pops his shirt and taunts the crowd when it's completely unwarranted. Hey Dirkendouche, make sure your team wins before you go about celebrating. :rolleyes:

    This is how I see it too. The team we have today IS our team at full strength. Yao isn't coming back so there's no point in comparing how we'd be at full strength (including Yao) because the season will be over by then.

    Anyways, we have less excuses for not extending our winning streak. Hopefully we come out swinging for 48 minutes like the past 3 games.

    They killed us because sometimes, we have to help out on defending Dirk. Now that he is not there, we can play everybody straight up. Not saying it is a sure win but Dallas is easier to defend without last year's MVP.

    AK is out tonight agaist MIN, and is listed DTD. That's one less worry for AI Jefferson, and maybe one less win for Utah. Just priceless, I'm loving it man :D :D :D

    Without pay? Cuban must be happy because he can save about $200,000 :D

    Now let's just pay attention to tonight's game first. Franchise record, baby, not like we can witness this kind of thing very often.

    Keep going, Rockets!

    Now if we win we have to hear, well they only beat the Mavs when they didn't have Dirk. It's good news but I hate all the excuses analyst have given this team for why they are winning

    I was watching that game last night and Dirk should have been tossed the moment he slammed AK47 to the floor. Hope the rockets can win tonight and carry it over tommorrow. Any win in the wild west is a good win and no one is going to give the rockets any breaks with Yao being out, so I could care less what the two village idiots on TNT will say with Dirk being out. The rockets are going to really have to get back on defense against Dallas and attack the rim on offense (Mavs are soft inside without Diop).

    yeah that makes sense, but I really couldn't care less what the media thinks or if they need a statement. The only statement I want is a first round pass. Cause if they pass I think they have a good chance to run the table.
