    I can't believe that was half a year ago. I can remember it like it was 1 month ago.

    When you have a 7'6", 150 lb dork (with razor-sharp knees that tear through flesh and bone!) guarding you, you're gonna get the calls.

    Cuban is a whiner. Yeah i heard it when he said Yao is getting veteran foul calls. Similar to what Cohen said, the only way to stop Yao tonight was to foul.

    Yeah I heard him complain that Yao Ming got the calls of a 30 year vet. What I did not here was him complaining about Najara getting the same kind of calls that Karl Malone used to get.

    I heard that too and it made me mad. His team got some good calls and no calls down the stretch. Did you hear his comment that lead to the 30 year vet remark? What did he say, something about "Joey-ball" referring to official Joe Crawford. What a bunch of BS! I think he's just mad b/c he thought Yao was overhyped.

    I have no idea what Cuban was talking about? What calls were Yao getting? Cuban is just jealous and is one of those naysayers that can't admit Yao is actually for real.

    Screw Cuban. He will always find a way to blame the refs for something.

    What are your thoughts on Mark Cuban saying Yao Ming is overrated?

    Well, I was very impressed with Yao Ming. I think the Rockets need a few games to gel this year. I'm very excited about the Rockets. Yao was amazing tonight. Yet, I was so offended when I read an atricle saying Mark Cuban says "Yao Ming is Over-rated" What do you think?

    Cuban is a great owner, but he's just pssed Rockets have Yao and Dallas has Bradley. He knows Yao will only get better with time. He's rebounding , scoring , and blocking better with each game. His movement is more instinctive and his fouls per minute are down. Remember when his teammates used to tell him where to go. Now, i see him doing that to them. In 10 games, he has earned the respect of most players and coaches that have seen him play. Cuban just can't handle the truth.

    Yao did get away with some goal tending and a lil bit of traveling, but the Mavs got a lot of calls their way, and whats with Najera swingin his arms wildly like a mad man and hurting some of our guys? Someone needs to punch his lights out.

    Yao Ming is overrated because he can't have him. Just like Shaq is a bully even though he'd trade everyone on his team in a heartbeat to get him. Just because he's a billion dollars richer doesn't mean his sports opinions mean anything.

    Cuban is green with envy about the Rockets having Yao Ming. Did anyone hear his stupid comments during the game?? Cuban said "Yao is getting calls like his been in the league for 30 years" and "That is because of Joey Ball". Cuban was referring to the ref Joey Crawford. You know those comments will get back to Joey and come playoff time, he will remember. :D \m/

    Mark Cuban is an ass, He sounded like a little league dad with his cry baby comments about the referees when his team already had a comfortable lead. You can't say it was frustration because his team was winning. Someone should have handed Baby Huey a pacifier to suck on. Taking anything away from Yao's magnificent performance showed a lack of class. Cuban is about himself and the Mavericks, not the league. Yao Ming having success in the NBA is great for the NBA.

    Everyone gets bad calls, Cuban videotapes them and sends them in to the league constantly, Wanna bet he doesn't send in bad calls that went in the Mavericks favor. I'm glad he's not our owner, Cuban is an embarrassment to his team.
