Rockets guard Tracy McGrady on Tuesday said Dirk Nowitzki's flagrant foul on Utah's Andrei Kirilenko on Monday should earn a suspension and keep him out of Thursday's game against the Rockets.
"He should be (suspended)," McGrady said. "That was a pretty hard foul. Not only that, to slam a guy to the ground like that, it was a hard foul. It should have been a flagrant-2.
"Yeah, I will (be broken-hearted)," McGrady said with a broad smile. "I will. I want them to be at full strength.
"You see the smile, right?"
Rockets coach Rick Adelman said he was not sure what penalty, if any, would come, though the league does consider whether a flagrant foul floored an opponent.
"I don't know what their criteria is," Adelman said. "They said if you bring a guy downIT'S TIME

I've seen the play. It definitely wasn't intentional. Andre sort of unwittingly moved back into him with the pump fake and Dirk's arm sort of got caught and clotheslined him.
I don't think it deserves a suspension, and I'd feel cheap if we beat them at less than full strength, and worse if we lost to them that way...but I wouldn't complain.

We are not at full strength neither.

"Cunning" ?????
Do you people even know the definition of the word? Sadly, T-Mac didn't even manage "calculating".
He should put a phone call into Karl Rove.
T-Mac's statement, 1 day later : "Dirk didn't want to play for the German national team because he can't shoot from the outside and he's trying to hide his Nazi heritage."
And that's how you win the popular vote in our (Please Use More Appropriate Word) country. That is "cunning".....and evil.

I was just checking your post history to see where the heck you'd been the last couple months (other missing posters: GTO, E Wizzle) and saw this:

I was going to read a game recap, but you just saved me 5 minutes. (Nice avatar, btw. The original is at the Menil Collection, 5 blocks from my house in Houston.)
You live like 3-8 blocks away from me. Sorry about that
