I guess that it was so obvious last night that Dampier, Cardinal slapped Yao's wrist numerous times when Yao was shooting, yet Yao got no call. Even GS commentator commented that Dampier and Cardinal got away from fouls. They even showed several sequences in slow motion, and GS commentator said: "Yep, Cardinal slapped him on the wrist." (The result was a Yao airball) And then there was this push by Dampier using both hands, and Yao had to shoot off balance. No call. Yao got an offensive rebound. Immediately he was surrounded with 3 Warriors and the slow motion showed that those 6 hands were definitely not trying to slap the ball of Yao's hands. It was multiple fouls in one sequence. Yet no call. During the games against the Raptors, A. Davis was basically fouling Yao on everyplay in the 1st half. No call. (The refs did begin to call the foul in the second half) Am just wondering why Yao cannot get the calls that he deserves. So many times he is murdered under the basket and yet the refs let them play. Why no complain to the refs, Yao, JVG, or Steve? Maybe Yao is afraid of the Ts?
On one particular play against the Warriors Yao attempted a hook shot which hit nothing and it was clear he was wacked on the forearm which no foul was called. As play resume Yao mentioned it to the ref and on the next play Eric Dampier was called for a foul while Yao was posting up. It was good to see Yao being calm and stuff but damn..... how does he do it? Also on alot of plays when Yao grabs a rebound he's usually wacked alot which forces him to loose the ball. When Yao will get respect from the refs........I don't know. He's need to start swinging elbows. Yao need to let the players know he's not gonna take it anymore.
Yao definitely needs to speak up more. He needs to protest after each time he gets fouled and gets no call. As long as he's quiet about it, nothing's going to change. He needs to let the refs know that this $hit is happening repeatedly and he's getting really fed up with it, not to mention that it's not fair. Over the long run, as long he keeps pointing out that he's getting fouled (when posting up, when shooting, when rebounding), the refs will eventually start to take notice. I hope. And yeah, Yao should start throwing elbows, cause he ain't getting no respect.
