well we've found the problem
Transcript:
“You know what? I had two offensive fouls tonight, three (Tuesday) night, two at the Minnesota game … and you can go on,” Yao said. “Every time a defender is on the ground, even if he just wants to sit down and have a rest, it’s my offensive foul.
“Why? If I’m on the defensive side and I’m in the same position, the foul is on us. They can’t call it two ways. When I try to post up and they have a head on my shoulder and lean on me and lean on my elbow and try to push me out and have the knee and have the two hands, no call. I know I have 300 pounds. But the same way people push me, maybe it doesn’t affect much, but I have to really, really limit my strength to push back.”
Yao isn't one to about things. The refs really don't know how to officiate Yao. He's just so big that everything is his fault to them. The dude gets hammered every play.
It's ironic that he says shaq doesn't flop after all this Shaq flopping drama.
well we've found the problem
Yao's english has gotten better. Accent still strong though.
glad to see he's more comfortable expressing legitimate gripes against hte refs
Bout time Yao said something. He's going to get fined for that interview but who cares. Maybe he'll get some respect.
People say Yao is soft, but if Yao tries to take it agressively to the hole he gets whistled. He gets whistled running across the lane. He gets whistled just standing there with his arms up and the defender falls to the ground. He gets pushed, pulled, manhandled no call. If he does it on the other end he gets whistled for it.
He should get ejected on purpose. Might get more respect.
Yao is a great player and a great guy... when he complains he complains for a reason.
Listen...I was at the game last night and Yao got hammered all night long. It's nice to see that he's finally saying something, although it will probably come with a fine but I don't think he cares.
I'm a fan of Yao. He's one of my favorite non-Jazz players. He has a right to complain, not just because of last night but the trend I'm seeing over the last few weeks.
Every game I have see of him he is clubbed all night long by other team, Refs is very unfair to him. Racist against him.
Amazing how Shaq has had incredibly preferential treatment from the NBA for his entire career, while Duncan and Yao (two players that can actually hit from outside of 4 feet) have been jobbed by the refs for so long.
I guess that's what you get when you don't play in L.A., Chicago, or Boston.
Yao gets no respect at all from anybody in the league... bout damn time he said something about it.
OMG Yao speaks better than Marion.
Last night was a travesty. Yao played really hard and the Jazz kept flopping.
If Yao played in L.A., I'm betting he'd average 28 & 13.
The same thing happens to Oden...
-SpursHaveFourRings
Sean Marks too. That's why he can never stay on the floor
Sons, when Oden has been in the league as long as Yao and has accomplished what Yao has, he'll have a right to complain. God bless.
you're an idiot! oden can't even stay healthy enough to see floor time.
I hate to say this but Yao needs to send a message to the opposing team's defenders. He should just go up for a rebound and throw an elbow ala Deke. A few elbows to the head or chest, and I bet the defender would think twice about hacking, pulling or cheating.
You've got to be kidding. Duncan has only had 2 fouls called on him his entire career because I've seen him commit fouls twice and the look on his face was of total shock.
Yea and props for the win.
It is damn near impossible to beat the jazz at their place, they were clicking on all cylinders and Dwill uis just a stud...every big shot every dagger
Sook, now you see Yao is not soft. He gets screwed by the refs night in and night out. If he were allowed to play, he would dominate like no other player in the NBA.
Pretty simple guy, the NBA's refs are racists.
Think about it.
The Whistles Kobes and Lebrons are marketable, they have the fat Nike contracts.
THE NBA is a business, it'll compromise compe ive integrity for teh almighty dollar.
We saw this on display VERY vividly in the 2006 NBA Finals, when Zo was allowed to play Rugby in the paint and the Mavs couldn't breathe on D-Whistle the primadonna wheelchair without getting a foul called.
Why? Shaq and Whistle are marketable, an unconventional german PF with a cast of borderline stars and role players is not.
It's a shame, it really is.
And Yao gets teh same treatment.
RACIST REFS!
Yao Ming is a pussy. I hate that fact that he plays for my team. He crumbles under pressure and is the reason the Rockets cannot execute their offense in the fourth qtr. He plays Zero defense and is an embarrassing shot blocker and rebounder. He gives the entire team a soft label.
You're a dumbass sir.
