i don't really think that cato on dirk is a very good matchup for the rockets. would much prefer to see griffen or thomas in that matchup.

Oh, to have options! Isn't it grand. A player for each situation.

Yeah, what makes every one think we can't beat the lakers? Hell, yao shot 100% that night.

Why? more detail needed.

cato is too slow to guard dirk. and when dirk takes cato out onto the perimeter(and cato would have to follow because dirk can shoot) then the rockets would lose all the advantages of him being in there.

Yao is there to rebound. Bradley or Lafrentz can't rebound.

Offensive: When Rice, mobley and francis shoot the ball outside,
Yao and Cato get offensive rebounds.

but cato would get killed on d. dirk would take him to the perimeter and then go around him. if cato doesn't come out then dirk will shoot. on offense the rockets would have the strength advantage but with the dallas zone it wouldn't be as good for houston. i think it would be more of an advantage for dallas than houston when dirk is playing pf.

good points. thanks.

Mavs are just better than Rockets.

FatDaddy · 12-05-2002, 02:23 PM

when lafrentz takes outside shot, Yao follows. Griffin and rice can't rebound because Dirk is there.

griffin can rebound but thats still a good point. i think that cato should only play pf against the mavs if dallas decides to go big with bradley, lafrenz, and dirk all in the game at the same time. that way cato can guard bradley(or lafrenz), yao can guard the other one, and griffin or thomas can guard dirk. then the griffin or thomas will be able to challenge dirk and not have to worry about him going around them for a layup(since ming or cato would always be somewhere near the basket). i don't think any team will ever be able to matchup perfectly with the mavs. they have too many weapons.

Kings are still better than Mavs. Webber and Divac make other players better.
Spurs can take care of Mavs, too.
then Lakers

I don't think the spurs could take the mavs, but they could take the lakers.

IMO Ginobili is the top 5 guard in the NBA. He is not in good shape. That 27 years old 290 ibs "Mogorean Beef" may knock down some big guys.
