    Well,perhaps the rule of the league will be changed soon for Yao that players in the league can doing everything to guy who is over 7''6',and the guy will never get any calls.
    The damned refs were just doing some warm up.:(

    One of the sillier posts of the day. First, why make the quoted post red? Second, Oak barely played and when he did, frankly, he looked good. What's your point?

    Yao's not the only one getting mugged that game. Do NBA refs know what a reaching foul is? Pietrus was stepping right in front of Steve, not planting his feet and reaching around his body to grab the ball. Good defence my ass.

    sssshhhhh
    don't tell anyone
    cause they already know . . .
    steve is never fouled or hacked
    he is just a poor dribbler

    Is it just me or are the officials getting worst and worst through the years? They can really make a game look really ugly like the game against GS. I wonder if they ever look at gametapes and look at their mistakes? I've never seen a game so horribly refereed my entire life.

    Yeah, that would be nice. They changed the rules because of SHAQ (against him), and so they should change it a bit for Yao. Seriously, that guy takes a hell of a beating night in and night out.




    Right on, it's true. I mean, it was crazy seeing the refs allowing Dampier to abuse yao. BUT, our bigman wasn't the only guy being mugged.
    Like you said, SF was repeatedly getting knocked around.
