since cato left the line-up houston is playing a much more uptempo game- and i believe that is why ming is putting some #s up. he is not a very good half court post up kind of player yet-but in transition is much more in his comfort zone-he runs the floor very well. when cato started houston played alot more half court sets and played a slower game-cato also is a defensive force. ming is a liability on d. but houston seems to be playing much better t this pace-it sure plays to francis and mobleys strengths. now if dallas blows these guys out it stays under the #-and there has been alot of lay downs this year. houston comes to play every night-and these 2 teams do not like each other. i see dallas 102-96.
