It's famine for Yao today. He's starved for officiating. I have seen worse like the Miami Heat game last year, but tonight's game is the most biased in terms of refs hating on Yao. Yao is getting fouled on every dunk attempt. He gets no calls. Yao is getting pushed in the back aggressively with the defender's elbow. He gets no calls. Yao should take note of the refs manning this game. Either they are prejudiced against Yao, or they have just singled him out by random as the one Rocket player not to get any calls. Yao does get hosed on road games like no other player on the Rockets.
With all the stls Rocks is getting, no need to fight for the rebound. 8 Stls already. Hahaha... What the hell is wrong with Yao? More fouls than points.
The score for the Nets win the other day against the Blazers was 64 to 60. It's obvious the refs are trying to give the game to the Nets with their blatant disregard for aggressive contact on Yao. Maybe the same happened for Zach Randolph. Game management by officiating is a putrid characteristic of the NBA.
Unless you are watching the game, you wouldn't be able to assess the situation in the paint accurately. This game might be worse than the Miami Heat game last year when Brian Grant was able to manhandle Yao without any penalty.
Yao must have had video games available in his hotel, or p*rn...............or both. Bad play, not paying attention, facial hair.......
LOL Bowen what a freaking joke, am I the only person who sees how awful he is. He tries to mask his lack of talent or defense with over the top hustle. He doesn't know how to play D, he just over plays everything, any little move a player makes, he over reacts to it. He looks like he should be in an And 1 video because he is at any moment ready to be severely crossed. He can't shoot worth a lick and his slashing doesn't compare to Boki's. Stop being a moron JVG and bring back Boki.
Even though we're winning, this is a really ugly and boring game. There's no flow at all, looks like a game won and loss by scrubs.
I don't agree with that, Bowen simply has a reputation of hustling ie therefore playing defense. And don't point to Lakers game because that was a defensive team effort. Boki is quicker and more athletic, he's great at drawing charges and his size and length gives offensive players trouble. Give him some time and his D will shine, not top league defender but certainly eclipse Bowen in defensive play.
