    I heard on 950 that Cato told that Fifth Quarter guy that he was uncomfortable at the starting spot. So, that's why Rudy has Ham start.

    Exactly!! Finally, someone agrees with what I've been saying for the last week. Except, when I heard it, it was during an interview that Calvin Murphy had with Calvin Murphy.

    THANK YOU tenchi

    I'm afraid Calvin's ego has just gone too far if he's interviewing himself... someone stop this madness!!!! [​IMG]

    Well explain to me how he is going to get comfortable starting, if he NEVER starts?

    Just start him, he will learn.

    hahah Dr. Yeah I know, Calvin's murphy ego is uncontrollable now!!

    On the real, during Calvin's interview with Cato, CAto said that he prefers coming off the bench.

    Just start him, he will learn.

    Also, during the Calvin Murphy interview with Cato, Cato said that he's just going to work himself into the starting lineup. He obviously thinks that he is not ready to start right now. Why does everyone want to start Cato anyway? Cato still gets the most minutes by far over Hamilton. It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

    I think it is imperative that Stevie and Kelvin have as much time on the court together as possible now.It benefits them and the team.Cato needs to grow along with Stevie....Time to be a big boy Cato.He'll be worth every dime of that 42mil.down the road.
    Besides they are a better team with Cato in there.Right now we need to have our best players on the court from the get go.A trade should be coming down the pike later and Sam Mack is still around.When Dream comes back,if we are close we can get into the playoffs.I have not given up. Peace HH

    I have to give this one to Cato. He concedes that he will start eventually, but he doesn't feel ready right now. I don't think that's particularly unusual. When he was in Portland he got used to playing five or ten minutes in a game. Then, he got into the lineup here and found he couldn't play with that same agressiveness every minute of the game because he would get in foul trouble. Like any player, he tried to overcorrect it by being too passive when he was starting. So, he went back to the bench. If you notice, Rudy has been steadily increasing his minutes with success. Now, he's learning the proper balance between agression and picking your spots.
