Or is that a typo on the box score? Cato and Hamil'TON' only played 17 min combined, according to the live box score at Courtside Live. So, who was playing the center position? ------------------ I have a dream.........his name's Hakeem. [This message has been edited by DREAMer (edited December 10, 1999).]
Cato didn't play much cus he was static out there - doing nothing. He played harder in the second half. And I know Thomas Hamilton played more than 17 minutes? Seemed like it anyway. And he did a good job in my opinion.
Part of the reason is that Boston forces wierd matchups. The Rockets had a 4 guard rotation out there a couple of times. The Boston front line is tiny and they play a lot of PF's at the center spot. Basically, Rudy was playing matchups. Also, don't discount the fact that the Rockets were turning the ball over so much, they needed the ball handling and Cato doesn't really qualify.
why did rudy have francis sitting the whole 4th quarter and then put in with 2 minutes left when he was cold. if bryce drew was playing good keep him in, if not francis should have been playing the whole 4th
Rocket Fan, Rudy left the guys in that had brought them back into the game. Frankly right now, Francis hurts the team more then helps it. He is too eratic and carless with the ball. He needs to tone it down. No one doubts his talent, but he REALLY has a long way to go to learn how to win in this league. DaDakota
