    I am more interested in knowing whether that shot went in.

    If it did, more power to Ming. He might be the only player in the league who has X-ray ability.

    Probably an offensive foul. Remember it's a Rockets player in an NBA game.

    it may not be called a foul as yao is passing the ball, but it really depends on the refs, had it been a star player they may get the foul but that particular one may fall in the 'incidental contact' but my guess is that if yao held on to that ball they would be forced to call a foul against whoever's hand that is.

    i think that was an outlet, and that there wasn't really any contact the angle on that picture is just weird

    I just have one thing to say about this game. In Houston, in the last 3 minutes, the refs call Spoon for the cleanest block I've ever seen. Then they give Nash 3 free throws for jumping inside the line and kicking Francis as he goes by. Then they count Walker's 3 after he clears out Francis with a whack in the face. Then, finally, they call Nash for one of the ugliest lane violations in NBA history, and the Mavs scream and moan like it's their first night in jail.

    Get used to it, boys.

    yeah! man it was a judo chop to the neck. thats a great way to clear your defender: "kee-yah" to the neck and then take your 3 ptr. that, the spoon block, the nash kick out, and also steve's fantom 4th foul had me standing up jumping grabbing my hair and screaming at the telly

    I think, technically, it's a no-look pass assisted from Yao's teammate. Impressive! :D

    Will, I have long suspected some refs * HATE * Rockets.

    Time after time I want to puke when the fouls were called against Rockets.

    I say: SCREW those REFs raw, yeah, without lubrication



    :mad:
