    After Yao did a spin move on him, he stuck out his leg and tried to trip Yao. Yao ended up getting hammered by Jones though. Did anyone notice that or was that just me? That was a very dirty play.

    I dont see why he would so such a thing, I didn't see it

    before the game, Yao commented on what a great player Nene has become

    I bet Yao would even commend DJ Mbenga :D

    saw it couldn't believe they had to wait to call anything

    if it was brooks going up and jones took him down like that it wouldve probably been a flagrant

    Did not see the play but Nene was jawing with the officials from the get go because he didn't get any calls. So he was pretty frustrated so I think was trying to be rough with the Rockets.

    I saw that play, but didn't see what Nene did. If he was intentionally trying to trip Yao, then how can he sleep at night (on his pile of money I guess.)

    most definitely should have been a flagrant foul, he used one hand for the block and one to elevate using yaos head as a trampoline, as for the nene, it didn't appear to be a trip to me at the time, it was like yao spun around him, and nene was like f*$k this and just let him go, may have bowed his knees a little, can't remember

    Wish some of you guys could see the replay, it was a blatant trip attempt. Someone so big as Yao, tripping can be very dangerous. There is a lot of room from the floor and his 7foot 6 frame. Jones foul was a questionable flagrant, I mean he wasnt even close to getting the ball.

    im not looking at it right now, but i have a pretty clear recollection of what happened, yao spun base line, and nene stood there pissed off as if he gave up, i would think i would have noticed him sticking a leg out, if you have a replay do post please i want to see what i missed

    He didn't really stick his leg out - it was more of a hip check type of move - tried to bump Yao as he passed by. I think a foul would have been called on him if it hadn't been for Jones trying to fly through Yao.

    You dont recall the play very well do you? Im telling you how it happened. Nene completely tried to trip Yao. Im not capable of finding that replay because not many people noticed it. Trust me that leg went out unnaturally far.
