When is Cato coming back from his injury? Does anyone here have an update on Cato's injury? I hope he can play against the San Antonio Spurs today. We really need his defense against the Spurs, a team that has twin towers. If Cato plays I think the Rockets would win. With Hakeem Olajuwon and Cato we will have twin towers to match up with San Antonio's twin towers. Both Olajuwon and Cato play solid defense, block shots and rebound. Their defense in the post-up is also solid. In the post-up Cato keeps the opposing post-up player out of the paint. When that post-up player finds a way to get to the paint Cato blocks their shot. If Cato does not block the shot we have Olajuwon helping out on defense. Olajuwon can shift over to block the shot if Cato doesn't. This is why it is great to have Cato and Olajuwon in the game at the same time. On offense Olajuwon has an assortment of moves in the post. He can bang the opposing player to the rim for an easy shot or he can use his athleticism in the post by performing the dreamshake for an easy jump shot. Olajuwon may have lost some of his quickness, but he still has some solid plays. He can still do some of his athletic plays in the post to find easy shots. Olajuwon is the most athletic center off all-time. Kelvin Cato may not be as good as Olajuwon on offense, but he still find ways to score. Cato is athletic, he can the run floor and he works well with our guards. Cato is also learning some moves from Olajuowon. Cato is still learning and he will get better. Cato scores when our guards penetrates and hands him the ball in the paint for an easy shot. Cato's role on the Rockets is to play defense, block shots and rebound. Cato has the potential to lead the league in block shots. I think he will pretty soon. If Cato got injured on January 16 he can play now because because he was expected to rest 10 to 14 days to recover from his injury, but rotator cuff is a painful injury. My brother used to have rotator cuff. He was frequently complaining that his shoulder hurts. Rotator cuff is a serious injury. Get well Cato! I wish Cato the best as he recovers from his rotator cuff injury. ------------------ [This message has been edited by DJ (edited February 03, 2001).]
He's not expected back until after the all-star break. He was spotted at practice yesterday in the weight room working out and strengthening his rotator cuff injury. Old School ------------------ I voted YES!
Cato is such a wuss. FYI I wish i got paid millions to sit out and whine to the refs. ------------------ May I have another Snowball Clutch? Please may I? Ill be a good little mole.... I promise.
He'll probably be back the first game after the all-stars break. He'll be back on the IR on the second game after the all-star break. ------------------
Damn DJ, that has to be the squarest post I've ever seen, geometrically speaking of course. It's like a big, solid brick of text peppered with "Cato" and "Olajuwon." It reminds me of a Magic-Eye picture.. ------------------ My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.
Sounds like my life......... without the millions. Oh, to be Cato. ------------------ Kenny Thomas had a foul called on him in the Western Conference Finals.
