    McGrady passed a ball backwards on a wide open fastbreak then looked like an 80-year-old man chasing down a rebound. His legs looked they were gonna fall out from underneath him.

    If somebody is under neath your armpits, its your space. the refs are saying Yao can't bring his arms downward.

    basically if yao moves a few centimeters this way, its a foul, a few inches that way, its a foul.

    to treat Yao Ming like he is goshdang shawn bradley is disgraceful.

    does any other post get called for offensive fouls like yao? i mean the guy isn't pulling a shaq and bulling people over. he gets called for moving his arms back more than anybody i've ever seen. it's like dwight howard in the olympics, except even weaker calls. it's not enough that he gets called for everything on defense and then gets mauled on the other end with no call, but to add ticky tack offensive fouls on to it is almost criminal. and to reward floppers against him all day and night is even worse. i mean mark ****ing madsen got a flop against yao the other day. and it wasn't even a good flop. could we pretend he's a regular player, much less a star just occasionally?

    That is why he has 4 fouls. He was a little angry, but I guess his shoulders were too strong for the BIG BEN and that ugly hair dude.

    It's obvious the refs are going to continue calling the game this way, Houston just has to play through that. Can't keep giving them 2nd chance opportunities. This is where Deke would help by making sure the rebound is secure, but apparently he's signing with the Spurs or Celtics. Good job Houston front office.

    Usually, when you quote someone, you're writing TO that person. And if that's the case, I don't understand what you're saying.

    He'll have what, 8 minutes? Might as well give up on Yao.

    And that's assuming he doesn't get called for another offensive...man, he should earn those. At the end of the game, if he has 4 or 5, he should just ram his shoulder straight into Varejao's face.

    It's hard to play through it when they won't even let our center on the floor. What are you supposed to do, not even put Yao out there?

    The Rockets talked that way about the 76ers and Trailblazers in the mid 90's.... before they had won anything as well.
