Is Yao/Cato really the only combo we have the rest of season?

OK, Yao played terrible last night, no excuse, especially his offense. But we always have big trouble facing teams with star PF, is it just a coincidence?

Zach Randolph destroyed our frontline the other night, Tim Duncan outplayed our two NO three big men last night. Brad Miller got his first 29pts games this season two weeks ago. It happened again and again. There must have something wrong with it. Our twin tower frontline just doesn't work for those teams.

To me, I feel like:

1. Cato's O, he has almost no range, almost no post move, an abusively liability on the offense end.

Worse, he doesn't set the pick for our guard that often, is it just lazy or something? Most of time we only see Yao going to the high post set the pick n roll. Since he seldom sees the ball from the pick, he has to rush to basket for the offense rebound. No a chance facing teams like Spurs, they box out so well. That is probably one reason make him grab little offense rebound and be tired so quickly.

2. Cato' D, he is a good rebounder and defender, but only under the basket, he is a C after all. How many times we saw both Yao and Cato standing under the basket while opponents' PF took a wide open jumper from outside. And his speed and footwork is terrible for PF position. Twice we saw Yao had to defend other teams' PF, Zach and Duncan, Yao's speed is no good for them either. But JVG might want take advantage of Yao's absolute height.

So, I think Yao / Cato combo can only be the short term solution or when we face small team. No way can they keep it going against the western conference. Starting Mo T and shop some solid real PF at the same time may be the solution. Too bad, EG had a chance to become our answer.
