    I missed the Utah game. Did Cato get injured or something? Why hasn't Van Gundy played him the last two games? He seems to be very secretive about reasons for not playing Cato. Has he just given up on him or what? Now's NOT the time for Van Gundy to decide that friggin Scott Padgett should be inserted into the starting lineup. We know that Yao can't contain Shaq defensively (particularly in the playoffs). Cato has to be in there to defend him. What's going on with that?

    well cato is currently playing in the rockets lakers game he appears to be fine. More than likely he was probable not playing cato because since cato was recently activated he wanted to save him for the playoffs and not risk him injuring him self again causing him to miss the playoffs. And more so because the rockets had already selled a playoff birth it was better to be on the safe side of things then to risk anything to a player who plays a large but often over looked role in the rockets defensive scheme when he is on the court .

    Walton referred to Cato being in Van Gundy's doghouse the last couple games due to "the debacle" in Utah. What the hell did he do; I missed the game. Does anyone know?
