    Does anyone in the NBA have worse judgment in risking and taking fouls than Yao Ming?

    Does anyone in the NCAA?

    Just wondering.

    What is Yao supposed to do when he stands still with arms extended and the offensive player jumps into them? Amazingly, it's a foul on Yao every time. I don't understand what else he can do?

    Maybe Yao really isn't that good. He's looking crappy out there.

    Maybe the Rockets should consider trading him to the Lakers. :D

    I think its safe to say those 6 minutes of Yao's there were his worst since the first game of his rookie year.

    Yao always gets jobbed by the refs on calls.

    Rockets missed 8 straight shots at one point - why is it that they are the only team in the NBA that always have these damn cold stretches every game?:(

    I just mean no one will say kobe is bad even he shoots 1/10. He is still a super star. Why people all blame YAO even he only makes one bad match or even several bad minites?

    That's Awesome!

    I've got two girls (5 and 3). I'll ask them "What do you say to Kobe?" they respond "No means No". :D

    Yao gets jobbed by the refs because they probably view him as a big wuss.

    The Rox always have cold stretches during games because they don't get nearly enough easy baskets in transition.

    Hmmm....the first quarter did not look promising whatsoever. Yao always pulls this crap when my fantasy team is in dire need of points and rebounds.

    Watching Yao's game is embarassing. :mad:
    Is his IQ a single digit?

    And whose fault it is? So many open shots for Butler? What a trash defense.
    I am glad Yao was not in the court. At least he is not the one to blame.

    That is definitely not what happened.

    Yao always has a foot or two in the circle when he tries to pose for a charge, or his feet are moving, or his hands are moving, or all of the above. He makes it impossible NOT to call the foul on him.

    I'm talking about the blocks on the defensive end. It's mostly the offensive end where he gets jobbed.
