    Just heard it on the radio. Oak has been released, and Cato has been activated.

    Searched the front page in the GARM and didn't find anything on this already.

    Houston Rockets.com ticker:


    "Breaking News: The Rockets have released veteran Charles Oakley, and Kelvin Cato has been activated for tonights game at Golden State."

    Check out the Ticker if you don't belive me/proof....

    Good! Hopefully, Cato will help bring some intensity.

    I really miss Kelvin. Yao seems like he's on a desert island on D without him.

    This will help big time, sad to say that Cato would be that much of a help, but in this case yes.

    I heard it on 1150, (sports Radio) in College Station, I am sure 610 is going to say something about it.

    I am so happy we are getting Cato back. We have had no presense in our D inside the paint with out him. We miss you Cato!!

    Y'know, I didn't mind Oak while he was here.

    But...it is good to have Cato back.

    Bye Oakley. We'll always have that mad foul on Zach Randolf to remember you by.

    This has been shown in Rox' website.

    Even if I know the fact that CATO contribute almost zero at the offensive end, he may be only answer to the sucked paint defense of ROX.

    I am wrong about Oakley. After I watched ROX VS Lakers, I was supposed that Oakley would have gone into JVG's doghouse. Unfortunately, he still played in the game against Denver.
