    Can't exactly tell you with and without him, but I can give you their stats over these last 10 games vs. their stats for the entire season...


    Season-to-date

    42.95 rebounds per game
    39.95 opponents' rebounds per game
    +3.00 RPG differential

    .408 opponents' field goal percentage
    87.63 opponents' points per game


    Without Cato

    43.00 rebounds per game
    41.60 opponents' rebounds per game
    +1.40 RPG differential

    .438 opponents' field goal percentage
    97.60 opponents' points per game


    Difference

    RPG without Cato goes up 0.05
    Opponents' RPG without Cato goes up 1.65
    RPG differential without Cato narrows by 1.60

    Opponents' field goal percentage goes up 3%
    Opponents' points per game goes up by 9.97 points.



    Without Cato, we're still grabbing the same amount of rebounds but opponents are getting more rebounds than usual. Opponents are shooting a considerably higher field goal percentage against us without Cato. Opponents are scoring almost 10 points more per game against us without Cato.

    You can say that other factors are contributing to these numeric discrepancies, but it's a whole different team without Cato.

    Is it a coincidence that our defense has faltered since Mo has been starting. Mo is a lazy ...

    Damn, I guess I have to take it all back now. Not showing up for an important game against Denver might have been an aberration. But, not showing up for important games against Denver and Golden State is not. I try to do my part to defend the Rockets, but if they won't do their part....

    How does not making the Griffin trade solve the PF spot? Would you plug Richard Jefferson in instead?
