    Idk personally i thought it was unintentional, a foul should probably have been called, but I think its a overstatement that he was "tackled".

    If you watch the slo mo you can see that Z has his left hand grabbing Yao's right leg as he is going down, before he even gets to the ball. That's a tackle.

    You got the point! Z first hit Yao's leg, and then got the ball when Yao was falling......

    That's the fact and he is a dirty player. Now, which part are you hurting?

    come on guys I am a big rockets fan like all of yall but that wasn't a "dirty" play, Ilgouscus(or how ever u spell it) tripped and in an attempt to steal the ball accidentally knocked yao over. I am just glad that Yao didn't get hurt, but to say that he's wife should get a miscarriage is WAY overreacting.

    He didn't say she should have a miscarriage. Earlier in the year she lost twins to a miscarriage i think.

    Are you crazy! When did I said his wife should get a miscarriage? Z is a dirty player. He didn't care if Yao get hurt or not.

    Ok sorry i read wrong, but still my point is that you are overreacting, it wasn't a dirty play nor did Yao get tackled, merely got tripped by Z in an attempt to steal the ball. A foul should probably have been called but not a flagrant one. I think we should just all be glad that Yao didn't get hurt.

    Clean strip ???? Got all ball on a block ?? :rolleyes: Pleeeeeeease watch the video again.

    Yao Ming got the rebound tipped over by the Cavalier forward, that Brazillian. The ball was firm in his hands, and he was about to make movement for a diving basket. Big Z, seeing the danger, could do nothing, just stooped and took out Yao Ming's mid waist, grabbed his leg, made him tripped over.....and all this while, Big Z did not touch the ball or steal the ball.......

    It is an intentional foul. It was so obvious.

    Do you honestly think Z was trying to hurt Yao intentionally? From what I can tell he looks like a very decent guy. I think he accidentally did it on the spur of the moment. You really are a complete ****en moron if you don't think what you said was distasteful and sickening. What's more inhumane, hurting someone (intentionally or not) or poking fun at one's death? Death is a very sensitive issue, especially of an infant. We're all die hard Rockets fan but in the end this is just a game. Yao can come back from an injury, but Z's twins can never come back from death. Grow the **** up.

    The strip looked clean to me but he tripped Yao, so that should have been a foul.
