    I maybe wrong and I'm sorry but don't take this the wrong way. Maybe you are a Yao only fan because if your comparing those two then something is wrong. Yao Ming's game is way different then Dwight Howard's game. So its obvious Howard is going to get to the line more than Yao. Yao isn't on the low block 99% of the time.

    I honestly believe it has something 2 do with the way they play. I'm sure if they switched places Orlando fans would be saying the same thing. Its all in their games. The refs have nothing to do with it. Well maybe they do but they aren't perfect.

    Yao gets his forearm held most of the time...boozer was doing it recently, and that was causing Yao to come up short on his shots.

    It was a foul that was rarely called.

    Yao is slow, it's easy for a defender to just hold this arm down, and it's easy for the referre to miss.

    I think this is because he's more aggresive going after blocks. Shotblockers get more leeway in contact situations.
