    Yeah, but Lefranze looked like a overgrown kid armwrestling his daddy with two hands.

    Just make sure David Stern doesn't see it, or he'll probrably give us fans a fine like he did to Van Gundy :D

    Couldn't the fact be that 80%+ of the NBA is black? so it would be natural to have most of the haters on Yao be black ( Strictly in the NBA )

    Tell me how Yao can be aggressive!!! Because aggressiveness for Yao equals to offensive foul. And can you see it?

    Those refs screwed Yao and everybody sees it. It's fact and not whining. As fans, if you don't do anything but complain about Yao's play, you are not real fans.

    Let me know if I can help. I have been listening to the new system of a down album on mtv.com and I am pumped to do something. That picture of yao being held by those mofos really got me torked.

    We're not whining. We're just trying to point out that the way they officiate Yao isn't fair. Yao can't be aggressive if they're not consistent with their call that's why Yao is confused and inconsistently productive.

    Nothing works better than Yao speaks it out by himself.

    I hope it will happen and it doesnt look like.

    Com'on Guys. That play happens ALL the time to everyone. In fact, Dennis Rodman recently went on the Best Damn Sports Show and pretty much described that picture in how other players use to try to keep him away from a rebound.

    I really think it's a good idea for talented guys like LegendZ and Rockets2K to make a highlight video that shows yao's poor officiating and send it all over the Internet and generate some publicity.

    The way R2K's game video gets propogated across the Internet proves that's a great way to get the message across. The way R2K does highlight clips I know he's really talented. LegendZ made one of my favorite Rockets clips of all time.

    Are you guys (LegendZ and R2k) listening? Please? :D

    There is a statement by an expert commentator stating that, "A lot of people don't realize that the referees all chat through email and such things keeping tabs on players and the like."

    You can find it by clicking on the "Glog" of tonite's game againt Minny at cbssportsline.com

    scroll to the second quarter at the 7:21 minute mark.

    I think Yao is being unfairly targeted and these referees are colluding against him.

    But my point is the more fundamentally sound eros have no problem with him.

    I'm really really happy we won against the tpups.. really. But I'm still upset with the officiating on yao. Yao wasnt even TOUCHING a player when half those fouls were called!!! :mad: I'd make highlight videos after every game and send it in to Stern for the Rockets!!! (if i knew how to make those things) Like Bull said: You cant just penalize Yao because he's 7ft6!!! thats why he's here!!!! :mad: :(

    I agree that these lame fouls called on Yao is getting out of hands.

    If somebody can find effective ways to voice our concerns, I believe there will be a mountain of support.
