There is no distraction on my part, only a gross lack of knowledge on your part with regards to what a legal defensive position is. That is...
Rafer is his own worst enemy here. I always thought that his upside was his transition O in the open court. Well, if he can't play defense...
Im not confused at all. The defender can move and still draw a charge as long as he keeps himself between the ball handler and the basket....
Well, based on stats, it is being called pretty evenly. Rockets average 1 more PF per game than their opponents (considering the Rockets play a...
Because the restricted zone applies to help defenders attempting to draw a charge, not primary defenders who are defending the post (in fact, the...
What instances are you talking about? I don't recall seeing Yao getting called for a charge when the help defender slides over inside the arc....
Im not knocking everybody who supports Yao. I am knocking the extermists who feel its Yao against the world. My personal opinion: His...
If it the complain is based on the arc, yes. I've NEVER seen a ref point to the arc when calling a charge out on the perimeter (probably...
But they certainly don't proclaim that the refs have it out for Yao or are intentionally changing rules to get him in foul trouble. I watched...
The defender can still move though, and draw a charge, as long as he keeps himself between the ball handler and the basket. So the ref can make a...
I agree that sometimes he hasn't committed a foul. But I do think some confuse that with the times that Yao does give some body, because they do...

Personally, I think yao gets the shaft on quite a few calls, but on the other hand, he gets away with more than he used to. The Mavs series...
You are clearly exagerrating here. Thats the rule though. The same reason how a 3 pt shot doesn't count if a player's toes are on the line....
Two problems there: 1) Offensive 3 secs 2) The protection from an offensive foul doesn't apply if the offensive player is already in the...
Just assuming since Yao was standing still and seemed to be kind of in a charge drawing position. Regardless though. The point is, the ref...
2. is correct. You might want to make topic plural though? Not sure. Women's rights are the topics of many debates in our society
Well, I don't know about you guys, but I don't always see a call made there. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. My whole point was, the...
It absolutely matters in this case. Thats why the ref made the remark about Yao being inside the zone. I think JVG's point was, that it should...
Maybe this article on the Blazer's site will put this to rest: http://www.nba.com/blazers/features/NBA_Misunderstood_Rules-88956-41.html In...
