He has said that on several occaisions. Cat doesn't usually try to blame other people. I think you have him confused with Snottie Quitten.
well fegwu, since the only person they ever ask him about is yao, it would be pretty hard for him to not point out his weaknesses every once in a while. it's not like anyone ever seems to ask him a question about himself to get him to talk about his weaknesses. and so what if he was once a rookie, are only current rookies allowed to talk about rookie mistakes? seems everyone talks about rookies making rookie mistakes, that's the way it is. and as mistakes go, i think yao commits the quintessential rookie mistakes whereas the rest of the guys just commit moron mistakes. yao does stuff like not knowing the play, being out of position, getting outphysicaled that all rookie's do while not doing most of the stupid stuff, whereas many of the other mistakes we make are just being stupid and not necessarily rookie mistakes. as for cat blaming himself for bad shooting games as much as yao blames himself, that's b/c everyone talks to yao all the time. you want cat to bust up in the middle of a yao interview "yo, i know y'all talkin' to yao and all, and that no one is at my locker to talk to me, but i just wanted to let y'all know i thought my shooting cost us the game. that's all, bye."
Is it the same Cat that basically said " Spurs can't beat us without the refs help"," Dallas can't beat us straight up " ?
