Cato has a bigger frame than Yao. Why is Yao guarding the opposing center when Cato's better built for it? Yao also has a longer range on offense than Cato. Wouldn't he better understand defending a guy who'll take it out past 5 feet? I like playing the 2 towers, but I think at least defensively we need to switch 'em up. It just might free Yao up a little more, and he might not rack up the ticky-tack fouls as often.
Yao is wayyyyyyyy to slow to guarge the PF's in the NBA, Cato is slow enough but Yao he is super slow. Bad idea, IMO
While some of our defensive prowess is due to our offensive style of play, you can't argue with under 40% shooting defensively as a team. I think I heard the other day that that has never been done defensively in the history of the NBA. Defense is not the problem.
