Since it is clear that the Rocket's coaches are not going to get off their arse and complain is it possible that we can get some fans on the baseline to print signs or point out to the refs every time there are 2 hands in Yao's back? Maybe we could get a rowdies chant going? Any thoughts on a possible chant? If the coaches aren't going to do it, maybe we fans can get in on the act? DD
I've been complaining about it for years now. What can you do when the coaches refuse to lobby or send in video tapes..
Get a chant going in the Toyota center.....make it LOUD...and CLEAR to let the refs know that we know....... DD
ive never seen or heard of a situation where fans can change the style of officiating on a particular player....doubt that changes with us
Get the PA announcer in on it....have them play a song.....Two hands in the back....a parody of something.... DD
That might help, but lets be real, its not going to happen every game and you need a good amount of people to make the chant happen.
why cant a fan try to send in a video to the league on a weekly basis for the terrible foul calls on yao or lack of foul calls for yao? i mean there are several of us who dl r2k caps and can splice out the terrible instances and the constant shoving back and forth on it and can email those video to the nba officiating office correct? i can try to do it myself but i dont know how much free time i have to do such a thing, maybe if people can write down the time and quarter and what happened whenever there is a terrible call i can then just look for those parts to edit out of r2k's caps and then send it over. would be much less of hassle to then re-watch the cap and go through looking for scenes.
Every movement starts with a few voices. The YouTube compilation each game would be a great start. DD
I had thought the same thing, how could we as fans help this situation? how could our voice be heard by NBA?
It wouldn't happen overnight, but I think that could really get their attention. Didn't the NBA order YouTube to take down at least 1 or 2 videos Clutch put up? They must have people monitoring it...not to mention we can harvest the power of ClutchFans to give each video a ton of views.
The fans counting out loud as Karl Malone took his customary 15+ seconds to shoot free throws during the playoffs. That was remarkably effective.
they did but maybe it could work if the video were made private so only the people you are sending it to could view it. i think the nba does not like having any videos where it may look in a bad light to be public where anyone can see them by doing a simple search.
i just watched the whole game after downloading it. boy denver got away with murder last night on yao, the denver three douchebags (nene, martin, birdman) take turns hacking yao...
Maybe a re-mix of "Push push in the bush".......but with something like... Push push in the back !! DD
