    What to do with Kelvin Cato. As Bill Parcells might say, she's injured again. It seems an ankle sprain (Steve Francis has had, what, 3 of those this year already?) is going to keep him on the shelf for at least the next 5 games. Earlier in the year, we were trying to come up with some nicknames for Cato. Why don't we start that up again. I have a few suggestions:

    The Brittle Blocker
    The Gimpy Goalie
    The Fragile Force in the Middle

    and my early favorite:

    Brent Price on Stilts

    Any other ideas?

    Kevin Cato is a MAN, not a woMAN. No womens play for the Rockets, DUKE just thought he would point this out since you called him SHE.

    First of all Bill parcells is an idiot and he is the she, Second of all where do get off calling Kelvin names that is just flat stupid to call your teams players names. Just remember freak injuries are part of the game and players do get injured in case you dont know.

    "that is just flat stupid to call your teams players names"

    Without going back into the archives I sure hope you haven't ever called: Maloney, B. Price, Stanley Roberts, Devin Gray, Bryce Drew, or any other Rocket some derogatory name....

    If you haven't, then carry on...

    Heypartner will give a bit of reasoning, because Heypartner knows. Heypartner also knows that gentry titles used as third person is for simpletons. Heypartner finds such people no challenge in bbs smack.

    TheFreak:
    There was no room on the roster for Rogers, unless someone went IR. If Cato needs to sit for a few days, he's the candidate. Even though I agree, 5 games seems excessive for how quickly he RAN off the court after the fall, albeit with a limp.

    This problem with 12 active spots and our constant use of 3 IRs should finally show everyone that there was no room for Maloney and MacClean at the beginning of the year...even though we technically had 2 IR spots available.

    BTW: Cato does not have to sit 5 games is we have less than 12 active players. But, since Gray and Miller are signed for the season, and I doubt Moochie would be released just to get Cato into an extra game.

    Dreamer,

    Don't bother looking. Mantronix is the real deal. He would never dis a player. He maintains a constant positive attitude.

    btw Mantronix, your poster got mailed Saturday. Do you have game 6 finals without THE car chase interrupting it?

    "The Sensitive Swatter"...

    Heypartner, I knew someone had to take Rogers' spot on the IR, but what's a little disturbing to me is Cato's propensity for injury so far, as well as his recovery time from injuries. He missed a great deal of training camp with injury, then he was out forever with a sprained wrist, now a sprained ankle. I'd be curious to see who was out longer, Carlos Rogers with ligament damage in the thumb that required surgery, or Cato with a sprained wrist.

    you're preaching to the choir.

    now I have to leave this thread, because I've become superstitious of the "I" word...and think it's bad luck to talk about someone's propensity to ......

    Maybe he was told to take one for the lottery position, I mean, the team.

    i usually agree with u on stuff but in this one i dont. no offense but u guys arent out there on the court busting your puts like cato is. cato is so quiet and everyone jumps all over him saying he has no heart. injuries dont disapear overnight and they do happen. its not as if he is doing it on purpose. wrist injuries take longer than u think to heal and u guys would have jumped all over his case had he come back early and not be effective. instead he chose to rationally wait till it was healed. i dont know why u guys are calling him brittle and all, ankle sprains are common. steve has injured himself twice and u guys havent called him brittle. back off of cato.
