    Looks like an intentional trip to me. Maybe if both of them were running at full stride and getting their legs tangled up, it would be an accident, but Howard was barely jogging and in full control of his body when he tripped Yao. Not to mention it looks like he got an elbow from Yao right before, so I wouldn't put it pass Howard to retaliate with that dirty trip.

    I watched it again and it seems like Yao tried to return the favour when he was on the ground.

    Josh Howard looked like he's crapping in his pants when Yao shoulder bumped him. And then when RonRon rushed in, Josh Howard looked like he's about to panic. Actually the whole Dallas MavReferees team panick.

    *** Mark Cuban for bribing these corrupt gambling NBA referees!

    Definitely an intentional trip. retaliation for the accidental elbow from yao. What do you expect, howard's ugly face looks like a damn devolved human-ape-monkey so it only makes sense him to act like one..

    I looked at it again and it is CLEARLY intentional.

    Notice the last stride Howard took was EXTRA LONG.. in order to make sure his leg got under Yao's. Pay attention to how Howard was running, and then he shoves the extra long last stride in and plants it. Also notice how Howard does not react at all and keeps looking again. If you accidently trip someone, you would at least glance or react when you feel the other person's feet, but he does neither.

    That was so intentional its not even funny, Howard while running back at full speed stuttered a little just so he could trip Yao. Yao knowing it was intentional tried to trip Howard while he was on the ground (good on you Yao)

    it looked like when Ron rushed in that all the showbaoting was over. No one wanted to ACT hard when Artest showed up. It was basically games over.

    They def should send this to the NBA, but the NBA will probably fine us and blame Yao for getting tripped.

    Def. looks intentional.

    Rockets should send a tape to the league to investigate.
