If Kobe gets suspended 1 game for flailing his arms, it doesn't surprise me Nowitzki got suspended for this foul.

It just depends on who's role players play better. If Rockets can play the way they are playing I think they have the upper-hand in this game. They have finally grown into Adelman's system and with Scola and Landry in the frontcourt, I think that's where most of our damage is going to be done. But we'll see what happens. Afterall, this game is more important for Dallas than it is for Houston. But about the Kirilenko foul, Dirk definitely deserved 1 game suspension. I seen the foul and it was a pretty hard foul. The guy strained his hip so I dont know why some of you guys are saying he was acting? Dirk may have tried to save himself from falling but what he did definitely deserved a suspension specially with the strictness of the NBA these days.

They need to let loose a little, and let the players play. That's why I say Dirk didn't deserve the suspension, and the sole reason why I want the Mavs to blow out the Rockets. Of course, the Rockets ARE the better team, and I do expect them to win....maybe even blow out the Mavs.
Anyone else believe TMac wouldn't have offered an opinion if the Rockets weren't playing the Mavs? Obviously he wants Dirk out of the lineup.

Also, a lot of people have fallen off Dirk's Bandwagon.
