WE should start a petition like last time. People keep voting on it to make a point to the NBA, how many fans are sick of the bad referring toward Yao in this whole career.
This is a typical game for Yao - fouled 20+ times, maybe ten are called. To all interested fans: www.nba.com and register then write David Stern. Free Yao!
Yao's comment is an understatement. Yao is pushed virtually everytime he takes a shot; look down low and you will see it happening. Often it is even more obvious.
he should just stop and hand the ball over to the ref and say here you go. i cant take this anymore. that should get somebody's attention. you can't touch kobe with an eyelash but u can use ropes, shovel, metal chains against yao. where's the "zero tolerance policy" about complaining to the refs when kobe does it? the refs dont have balls to call a T on bryant in LA.
For an "unbiased" ESPN sportscast, the play-by-play personnel were so blatantly Laker that, when the Lakers made a play good or ill, it was "we" this and "we" that. Disgusting (although I kinda-sorta forgive Walton because that was his kid on the floor).
I love it. He has finally started to develope some mean streak. Next step will be elbow down some guards who want to mess with him.
He needs to just start bulldozing over the opposing bigs left and right. Just do what Shaq did. It doesn't matter if they foul him out and Rockets lose a few games. Bottom line if he would have train wrecked Kwame and Bynum Shaq style last night guess what? We lose the game still. Maybe Yao even sits a game, BUT those two and the Lakers will NEVER try that crap again and the refs and Stern will be sent a loud message. The main reason why Shaq had to turn inton a bulldozer was because of this insanity by the refs. They just let the bigs wrestle out of control and they only ref fairly if you in turn do it back, and whoever is bigger and applies it more meaner gets the calls. Meanwhile ecen breath on Bryant or Wade and its two foul shots. And let's not even discuss what happens with Dirk, practically just look at him wrong and he goes to the line. David Stern has the IQ of a door knob, this is his idea of basketball, but this is how stupid the man really is. If Yao just starts train wrecking people like Shaq the Rockets will win the title every year as long as he can handle it physically, and it isn't won with skill, but with brute force. Because in Stern's NBA world a 7-6 with Kareem's skill set isn't a damn thing at all to marvel at just bloody him up and get rid of him so Wade and Kobe can shine. This is how truly r****ded Stern is. He has to be the worst sports commisoner of modern times.
Yao speaks the truth!If those capitalists(refs)only treated yao like Kobe and wade,he would be averaging 32 points a night.....Something has to be done!!I hate that these refs have huge egos,this should not be the case.
great comments I would like to see Yao elbows those jumpers or defenders when they want to mess him up. Just hit those stupid jumpers as hard as a hammer, knock them down, knock their teeth into their stomach, beat their noses and eyes volently as a gaint. Yao need to stuff like this to really dominate the count!
