You can see from Udrih's reaction (Fist in the air) that he was NOT looking to score but to foul out Yao Ming. I am not blaming this on Udrih or Theus on this play, this is what they should do in a game like this. Two reason why Yao got that foul: Rafer Alston: Yes, its on you again rafer, you stay in front of your man and you foul him when it is nessesary. Getting blown by is unexcusable. The Refs: Jason Kidd said it the best: "THREE BLIND MICE". They are either gambling or they are really racist.
your right. I said it at the time. If Yao had flopped like Mikki Moore did then it would have been an offensive foul. Its the inconsistency that is the worst part about NBA officiating
I love Yao, but I have to say... I don't think there has ever been a foul called on Yao where he didn't immediately go run to the ref and start pleading his case. It has got to get frustrating for the refs, and I think it would be more impactful if he only complained when he has legitamate beef.
I suggest SINA immidiately cast a public poll on their front page asking public's opinion as to whether Yao has been treated fairly and equally by the NBA refs. and whether NBA is a fair place to play the professional game of basketball for every player.
Even Sac announcers were saying Yao should stand up for himself after he got fouled out. Very obvious bad calls.
Then no one in the league would get calls. Duncan, Kobe, James, Wade all go to the refs after every call and non call.
Well, time moved on, and now the buses are teeming with black men, and women too, and the little chillens as well. Maybe tomorrow, time will move on for Yao.
Hello, Yao had been doing that for years, did it work? Now Yao is more voiceful, and even got ejected, he should tone down? Being raped is always victim's fault by your logic. Beyond me.
I knew someone would say this. Ok, so the criticism on Yao is that he doesn't stand up enough, but not he complains too much?
Yao was quiet as a mouse several years until this year. Everyone wanted Yao to be more vocal. Now he is. What's a man to do?
I think they are robots. There has to be a review system in play like NFL. There are reversed calls in NFL. Coach can challenge a call with a timeout.
WHY DON'T USE Steve Francis! WHY USEING HADE OR Mike James FIRST. THE COACH IS SO STUPID. DAMN ! IN THE SECOND USEING A STRANGE TEAM HADE WES Mike James OH! DAMN ! I WANT TO SAY : **** YOU !教练
Not just calls on Yao, the refs really suck monkey balls this year. Artest was hand checking T-Mac out at the perimeter all night but no calls.
NBA corrupt refs are being a bunch of racist a55holes, Yao should threaten to leave the NBA if he doesn't get fair treatment and respect. This is BULLSH*T!!!!!!!!!!! Yao is a humble guy and if he's mad, we KNOW there's something corrupt going on. I'm glad China TV stations shut down the broadcast of this game right after Yao got rejected. Hopefully China will shut down all NBA access and games until Yao gets some fair treatment and respect! Cause THIS IS BULLSH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uh, Francis was in street clothes, my guess some minor injury keeping him out of the game, because Adelman has been playing him lately..
