    Unfortunately, it could just be that his legs can't support the weight of his body and are buckling under the pressure :p

    He's so used to riding that pine, that he is stuck in that position.

    First of all how can a man feel comportable and feel confident playing for a city that obviousdoesn't want him.. He is a good player, but it doesn't seem as though were supporting him or even giving him a chance. If I were him I wouldn't feel comfortable with talking to the press.I saw him on several different television channnels on media day, he looked happy. He was smiling and interacting with the press. The press strives on our reaction as fans, and if we feel negativity as far as Cato is concern, then they will report negative. We all know how thinks can be taken out of context.
    If we want this man to play and play well for us, we have to show some respect. I'm a man, and I know that I have pride, and if I feel that I am being ganged up on I will natruly defeand myself. That's what I think Cato is doing. As far as being in shape I saw him, and he didn,t look out of shape to me. Maybe bigger, but that's understandable he's been out of commission for awhile. Let's give the man a chance, he is a Rocket and deserves our support.Idon't think that he doesn't want to play. He may have the question on wether this city want me to play.Let's give him the support he needs. Let's not forget Cato is a good defender, or did we just forget that?

    I understand what you're saying #1CATOFAN, but I think the man brings a lot of this on himself. If you were him wouldn't you smile because of the money you make? Wouldn't you act happy and stop giving short responses to the media? Come on...As a fan I don't hate Cato, but it's hard to support a player in a world of "what-have-you-done-for-me-lately". It's sad but true. Just think...3 or 4 years ago the greatest thing in the b-ball world was that Grant Hill drank Sprite....Now he is bantha fodder!

    My point is that Cato can get back the love and support if he takes the due criticism with stride and produce on the court...o yea, and acts like he is enjoying what he does.

    well said ROXRAN; cato just needs to start enjoying basketball...and stop falling for the opposing coach's headfakes.

    Hell, I think I accidentally headfaked Cato once from the stands when I was nodding to the beer man.
