Finally Yao is actually speaking up and voicing his unhappiness with the officiating. I wish he'd be a little more fiery, but this is a start.

“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.”


In other news, the Utah Jazz still don't have a championship.

Oh I'll try to get myself fouled out in the 1st quarter and see how ironic this can get.

I hope he stares down at those crappy refs and then the latter will be so intimidated that Yao will get his way around.

Actually, imagine if China steps in and tell stern to wise up (stop his idiotic "guard" popularity formula for the NBA) or get bashed up by some secret service shaolin monks.
