Chronic: Van Gundy Renews big-men plea

You miss 5 fouls committed against Shaq, that's 4 points lost at most. You miss 5 against Yao, that's 8 points lost. Big difference. Game-changing difference.

 

Here's an example.

Pay attention to Tim Duncan's left hand

 

That was very blurry and small. Face it, the referees hate big men. The bigger the Center, the less calls he gets. Yao and Shaq have big targets on them, because they are the biggest and strongest. The referees will let a 6'10" PF to tackle, wrestle, and claw him. The only respect he gets is against 1st and 2nd year Centers/Power forwards.

 

The only difference is Shaq could get away with his offensive fouls in the past, not Yao though.

 

I think you need to pay more attention to Tim Duncan's right foot

 

Oh my god, he learned it from his teammate Bruce Bowen?
