    Listen to this quote...this guy doesn't even want to play:

    "The All-Star break was pretty good for me," Cato said. "I also got a chance to really think about some things. Just watching Dream (Hakeem Olajuwon) do his thing the last two or three games, I've been wondering if they need me back right now. Everybody keep asking me, teammates keep asking, `Are you ready to come back and play?' "

    He'd obviously rather sit on the bench (or at home) and watch than have to actually play ball. I think this is a pretty clear window into Kelvin's psyche and it is clearly the mentality of a LOSER.

    You won't be saying that when he's leading the league in rebounding!

    Who wouldn't want to get paid millions of bucks to sit on the bench and watch the Rockets play? Where do I apply for that job!? [​IMG]

    Cut the guy some slack!

    He sounds like he feels bad about being out all that time. I'm sure he'll bounce back strong.

    By the way AT

    About your sig, it was Sam Cassel who said that, not Horry.

    How does that sound like "he feels bad about being out all that time."?? He's had a 2-month break and yet the All-Star Break was "pretty good for me,"???

    And I don't think it was Cassel either. But I'll check on that later.

    If I recall my Double Clutch video properly, it was Sam Cassell who said that.

    HOw are you assuming that Cato doesn't want to play? "The All Star Break was pretty good for me". How does that indicate Cato doesn't want to play? He could easily have meant that he's finally getting healthy... that's why it was so good for him.

    "I've been wondering if they need me back right now." This could easily be a compliment to how well Olajuwon's been doing. He also might not wanna come in and screw the chemistry the current units have together.

    I think you all are just readin too much into this.
