    Is it just me or is there an over abundance of attention needing noobs lately? Methinks the mods are going to do some house cleaning in the very near future.

    and what is even worse..........

    Yao didnt injure TMac....

    check the video

    Rox v Hornets "Highlights"

    Im not sure where that came from....but it is obvious from the tape that that isnt waht happened...

    btw...thats what we get from that stupid yaozilla guy over at the ESPNTrash forum...he kept the bbs name out there..and we are starting to see the results....noobs that dont have a clue about how to act in decent society. :(


    definitely agree SRF....

    this is a private forum, you do not have any rights to free speech.
    I suggest you:

    1. wait a while to understand how things are done around here
    2. learn how to watch video correctly
    3. recheck your work
    4. become educated before you accuse others of not being educated.
    5. chill out
    6. never assume that the results of a poll make you right.

    I'm downloading your highlight right now. What does it show? If you got it from Bill and VC's broadcast, then it will show that Yao stepped on Tmac's foot, pinning it down to the floor. (actually, the replay is what shows it clearly).

    While it was a complete ACCIDENT, that's what happened.
    For anyone to BLAME Yao, or any other player for a freak accident is simply STUPID.
    I agree about the ESPN boards, that place is rediculous.

    I normally don't like to pile on, however this thread really deserves it.

    This thread sucks.

    Funny, that made me feel better.

    Perhaps Yao may have felt a little bad after that play, which could explain his resulting play (or it being a back-to-back game). If so, he needs to realize that it is NOT his fault and Tmac will be ok.
    I hope he doesn't take troll talk seriously, should he be unfortunate enough to be exposed to it. :mad:

    no...the replay doesnt clearly show it...if that was the case...Bill and Van would have mentioned it...and they didnt...not at any time during the broadcast when they were talking about it did they say that was what happened...what happened was that Tmac planted his foot and the inerta of his body caused his knee to hyperextend and threw him offbalance...then he landed weird on his side.

    Speaking of educated and critical thinking ... here is your logic:
    1) Yao sucks
    2) Let's trade him for 3 of the best 5 players on these teams ...

    Whatever education you think you got, ... wasn't worth the money your parents paid for!

    The real-time game video doesn't show it. Another camera angle of the replay did.
    I rewound the replay a few times, and Yao definately had Tmac's foot planted on the ground. Tmac's leg was straight, and couldn't go anywere because of Yao's foot.

    Bill and Van only had 1 replay to look at, and they, like me, were probably looking to see if Yao and Tmac had crashed knees together. Bill actually mentioned that it looked like Tmac stepped on Yao's foot, but it was the other way around.

    Edit: At the 47 second point of the highlights, you can see it.
    I'm not sure if that had a bearing on the injury or not. I think Tmac attempted to stop too fast after turning around and seeing Yao in his path, and stiffed his leg regardless.
    He came down from a layup a few games back sort of stiff legged, and hurt himself a bit. It was one of the nationally televised games, against Phoenix I think.

    For punishment for Yao, I ask you to send him back to China. I will pay you $10 for your doing so.

    Hey, no body is holding him back, let his contract run out and then he can go back to China and break the bank while making $2 a month:rolleyes:

    Yao is making tons of money here in America, believe me he wouldn't be here if he wasn't a smart, rational being who thinks in a business-like fashion. He wouldn't have left China if there was a penny to make in it. He is playing for his own benefit, not for your own amusement. He is simply making the most of what he has in the land of opportunity. And we as Rockets fans are happy for it.
