    Its not like his shooting touch will be messed up :D

    Anyways, they do need him back. Thier bench is really thin without him.

    They definitely need Cato in the future against the Heat. Even in his lazy years Cato played pretty good defense against Shaq.

    What games are you talking about? Cato was eaten alive when guarding Shaq last year.

    yeah...Cato's weakside help on shaq was pretty good though. I remember the one where Cato left hand swatted shaqs shot and everyone was cheering like crazy. He does as good/bad as a job on shaq than any other Center in the league though.

    Last year Shaq only had one good game vs us during the season when he scored 28pts. Other that that he averaged about 20pts but with a crappy field goal %. So to say eaten alive is a bit overboard...

    No, Shaq ate Cato alive not Rockets. Yao was guarding him most of time w/ weakside help. I remember that Shaq dominated Cato when Yao was on bench. I could be wrong though. Anyway, I don't think Cato is able to slow down Shaq on any given days.
