anyone else really pleased by the shape and play by Cato? and do you think JVG would toy with the lineup of Cato and ming ? Also i have alot of tickets left to the Rockets Cavs game if anyone interested..khalidk@aol.com
I'd sure like to see it. Cato looked like a monster last night. Can you imagine a defensive front line of Yao, Cato, and Eddie, with 2 guards playing the passing lanes and forcing all the action inside? Yeah, yeah, somebody's gonna say Eddie can't guard 3's. I ain't saying he could. I'm just saying i'd like to see it in the preseason. I'd like to see how other teams attacked it. Of course, JVG would have to get Steve to actually play some D, something that I haven't seen yet in the 4 years he has been in the NBA.
I think in a line up of Cato and Yao that Cato would have to be the center and Yao Ming would have to be the power forward. Yao Ming has the skills to play away from the basket and Cato just does not. I think this might have been why they looked so bad on the court together last year, because Cato just can not play the Power Forward spot.
BTW, if Yao Ming played Power Forward would that mean the Rockets have had the two tallest Power Forwards in the history of the game? Ralph Sampson 7'4" Yao Ming 7'6"
that would be fun to experiment with...esp if we throw in eddie maybe some kind of zone would work, i know well be slower and maybe not as quick on the outside but it would almost make the opposing tem play outside ball and make them beat us by an outside shot,,,i mean if they are off anyway it wouldnt be that bad an idea
