    Yao's 2nd foul. He went straight up. what more do you want him to do? I'm convinced. There is no such thing as defense. You just gotta hope the other team misses....

    He's 7'6". No need to leave his feet and risk the call. That's on him.

    Even if he leaves his feet, it's legal.

    The refs made it confusing for Yao. Some refs told him to stay straight, others told him to jump straight. What should he do? :confused:

    Yeah, not calling a foul on Yao late actually worked in a favor. :p

    Yeah I thought we got the slight edge on the calls at least in the 2nd half.

    Yao was in the restrict area. They call it everythime if Yao doesn't jump. Too bad this time they called it even if he jumped straight up.

    Nice try, but he was inside the circle. The dumb ref will definately call the foul if yao had not jumped straight up. I think that Yao was talking about that a year ago.
