    Charvo, you have become conditioned much like Yao has. Players foul. Players get away with fouls sometimes. Especially big men, and shotblockers. Yao gets away with fewer than anyone, so don't try to spin it like Yao was lucky not to get called. Tmac is getting hammered in the paint every time he goes in there. When they actually let Yao play it seems so weird and foreign. Yao should be allowed to play more, like Duncan. Then every time there is contact without a call, we won't even think about feeling guilty about it.

    Wait until the 4th quarter. Duncan is only shooting 2 FTs by far. I expect him to shoot 8 more, so that's 4 fouls.

    Ok, Kerr is worse, but Elliott isn't any better, when it comes to kissing Duncan's butt. "If a player like Duncan, who rarely complains, actually complained, that must be legitimate." That probably is not the exact words, but it's just bad. A cry baby rarely complains? You got to be kidding me.

    He's only shooting jumpers now. Of course he's TD, he's shooting those jumpers with determination and aggression. He lit a fire in the game by those furious jumpers. Yeah, you are right, he will get calls, for sure.

    Seems Nesterovic is using every means he can imagine to hold and push Yao...

    Yao blocked Duncan straight up. Maybe they can play that on the news, instead of always showing the "no deliveries on Sunday" of Duncan blocking Yao.....that is getting old.

    Yao was not very smart on that 4th foul. Thats inexcusable. He has to know the situation in those circumstances and back off.

    geez, the refs even hold off on calling fouls until yao can get over there and they can nail him with the foul.

    OMG, please, Howard, do a better job guarding TD. We need Yao in the game.

    As I said at the half-time break, Duncan will get at least 8 foul shots after the half. He got 3 already, 5 to go.
