He led to the Mavs last week to 4-0 while averaging 31pts and 7.5 rebounds per game. Dirk is currently ranked 4th in the league in scoring with 26.1ppg.  Coach Carlisle commented during the pre-game press conference that "success breeds unity" and "everyone fits into what we're doing." The Rockets make the trip up I-45 without their two biggest players Yao Ming and Aaron Brooks. Speaking with Coach Carlisle he said even without those Mavs do to win he simply said, "keep the Rockets off the free throw line". When the Rockets have won, they have been to free throw line at least 35 times.
