I'll do individual thanks: T-Mac: What can I say? You made this season. You were everything that the Rockets needed. You make me happy to be a Rockets fan. Thanks for the scoring, but more importantly thanks the playmaking. Thanks for the Rowdies. Yao: Thanks for the hard work. Thanks for battling back so quickly. Thanks for being the best center in the game. Thanks for dominating your opposition night-in and night out. Battier: Wow, oh, wow. First, I'm sorry. I hated the trade until you hit the floor (in every way imaginable). Thanks for sacrificing your body every day. Thanks for setting the tone for the best defense in the league. Thanks for the spot up threes. Thanks for the baby hooks. Rafer: Thanks for doing what you do. Thanks for running the offense, thanks for being one of the best ballhandlers in the game. Thanks for your reliability. Thanks for the threes. Chuck: Thanks for being in the league. Thanks for the grins that I get watching you defend the best in the league and then out-rebound them. Thanks for sacrificing your body. Juwan: Thanks for the spot up jumper. Thanks for elevating your game when the team desperately needed you. Thanks for being the post offense to keep the Rockets in the game with Yao out. Luther: Thanks for the threes. Thanks for the big games. Thanks for the monster dunks. Dikembe: First, thanks for being the best person in the league. Then, thanks for the blocks, the rebounds, the embarrassment of players half your age. Kirk: Thanks for the dunks. Thanks for the excitement. Thanks for playing within yourself. John-John: Thanks for being on the team. Thanks for being the fastest guy on the court. Thanks for the big shots. Novak: Thanks for the style. You raise the class of the Toyota Center every night on the bench. Spanoulis: Thanks for the heart, for the grit. Thanks for the flashes of greatness you've shown. Thanks for coming over and not leaving. Big Jake: Thanks for being there. Thanks for the post moves. Thanks for being the best third center in the league. Bonzi: Thanks for signing. Thanks for the couple of good games you had early on. Padgett: Thanks for the hustle. Thanks for the rebounds. Thanks for the shot. Thanks for Big Jake. Sura: Thanks for trying to come back. Thanks for 2005. JVG: Thanks for the great job. 55 wins is a great year, regardless of how it ends. Thanks for the Rowdies. CD/Morey: Thanks for Battier. Les: Thanks for being a great owner. Thanks for having this team. Rowdies: Thanks for the heart, the noise, the atmosphere. You made the Toyota Center fun. Power Dancers: Thanks for the best new in-game entertainment idea in years. The dunking dancers is really fun. Clyde/Bull/Bill/Gene: Thanks for continuing to do a great job covering the games. Gene, you are a legend. Hearing your voice warms my heart. Clutch: Thanks for running the best BBS on the net, win or lose! I made a playoff wins pledge, and even though the Rockets didn't earn it for you, I'll make a donation regardless.
I'm sure Dallas fans feel the same way right about Dirk right about now - thanks for a great regular season.
