    Soft Parade, in the future, post another Fact or Fiction question after you answer it.

    It's all good though. Fact or Fiction, Darko Milicic will average more blocks per game than Ben Wallace.

    Fiction, this one is a toss-up. I mean Darko will be getting more playing time and could easily surpass his avg from last year, but at the same time Big Ben is with a new team and has better defenders around him. I hope im wrong cuz Darko def has a chance to be a real shot blocker in this league.


    F/F - Dwight will have a couple 20pt/20reb nights this season.

    Fact. 20/20 once in a while is definitely no problem for a rebounding machine like Dwight.

    F/F - Dwight Howard will update his myspace with a new song, which will then become a number one hit single in North America prompting him to quit the NBA and form a rap group with Shaquille O'Neal.

    Fiction, I agree with everyone up until the Shaquille O'Neal part. Ron Artest is more likely. [​IMG]

    Fact or Fiction, Jameer Nelson is better than Luke Ridnour.

    Fact. Dwight will take on most of the scoring duties and will be the better rebounder out of the two but Darko will hold down the fort defensively and help out on the boards and offensively.

    Fact or Fiction - J.J. Redick starts 20 games this season.

    Fact, injuries and stuff will get him 20 starts imo. Plus, if we are struggling at teh end of the season, then he will get a few more starts.

    F/F Jameer gets some all star game consideration

    Fact, he is poised to have a good year and with his ability to distribute the ball, i anticipate an 8 assist per game average and maybe 15 ppg which is good enough for all-star consideration. but i think that dwight is going to be the only one wearing an all-star jersey. Nelson would have to beat out AI, Billups, TJ Ford, Hinrich, Kidd, and Tyronn Lue.

    F/F Hedo will have a breakout year and become a huge difference maker as well as the definite starter at the SF position.

    Fiction. Hedo's turning like 26 or 27, he's not going to get much more better, and when you say "breakout" it normally means the player goes nuts and starts putting up statistics that you're not accustomed to seeing them put up (i.e. Boris Diaw). If Grant Hill goes down with an injury (very probable), I expect his stats to go up from last season though, but not by much.

    F/F Trevor Ariza will develop a respectable jumpshot this year.

    Fiction, I only say fiction because his primary goal on the floor will be defense. I think he will get his touches in but his jumpshot will not be as important as his quickness and length on defense. He may get become a Bowen like player, stopper on D and a spot up shooter on O, but I highly doubt that being we have J.J. for that.

    F/F - J.J. makes all-rookie team this year.

    Fact, he will probably make the second team.

    F/F: Dwight Howard becomes an all-star this year.

    FACT! i dont even have to explain that one.

    F/F: with darko starting for the first time, the magic are going to be in the top 10 defense.

    Fiction.

    Darko's a good shotblocker and all, but that doesn't equate to being a good defensive team.

    F/F Dooling will be traded by next season's all-star break

    Fiction, right now I think a lot is being said because of our depth, but he played a lot minutes last season and I think his energy can always be used. Plus we know at one point or another we are going to lose one or two of our players to injury. We need his presence and his skills when that time comes and when players arent playing well...


    F/F - Magic have more than the usual sellouts this season (Lebron, Shaq...)

    Fact, but it's not because of LeBron and Shaq. It'll be mostly because of Carlos Arroyo and our Hispanic community, as well as Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, Darko Milicic, JJ Redick.

    fiction. I love Nelson and everything, but 17-7-4 are superstar numbers. Besides, how the hell is a guy like Nelson going to grab 4 rebounds a night, especially with Dwight Howard being the beast that he is.

    F/F Hill will play 70+ games this year.

    fiction...hill will shutdown for his career after january...also, jameer averaged 3 rebounds a game this year and came close to a triple double on a couple of occasions...so 1 more rebound with about 5 more minutes per game isn't that hard IMO.

    In the other thread you said that hill was going to play 82+ games...

    F/F: This thread doesn't work unless you ask whether something is fact or fiction at the end of your post.
