Cutting down his minutes would useful.Cato can get some points and get rebounds and blocks as long as he doesn't get in foul trouble. Ming should play in short bursts throughout a game unless he is playing very well. He only should be rested if he is hurting.
It seems Yao's defense is crucial to Rockets win. How about rather than running to both ends, he just stays under the glass and stretches his hands. I don't care how many points rockets can score as long as Lakers don't get any!!!
