Blazers True/False Game

[Denny Crane]

Here's how it works. I post a question with a True/False kind of answer. Next poster answers True/False, can explain why, then asks another True/False question.

Here goes:

Oden wins ROY

 

[Ed O]

Oden wins ROY

True. While I think that there's a better chance that he doesn't win it than he does, I think he is the single rookie with the best chance of winning RotY.

He's going to start and play a lot of minutes (knee and foul problems allowing). He's going to block shots and rebound and be efficient offensively... and he's going to be on a team that should be improved. All of these things add up to him have a great chance to be the RotY.

Ed O.

wait to kill a thread, MOD.

 

[Denny Crane]

Ed, you need to ask the next T/F question

 

[Ed O]

Ed, you need to ask the next T/F question

Oops.

OK.

True/False. Bayless will play more minutes in the 08/09 NBA regular season than Rudy Fernandez. And why or why not?

Ed O.

 

[Tortimer]

Oops.

OK.

True/False. Bayless will play more minutes in the 08/09 NBA regular season than Rudy Fernandez. And why or why not?

Ed O.

False. I think it is close but with Nate falling in love with Rudy I think he will get more time. I think there will be a lot of pressure to make sure he gets his minutes.

True or False LaFrenz will be traded this year at the trade deadline.

 

[Denny Crane]

False, I say the Blazers let him expire and use the money next season.

T/F Martell Webster wins the starting SF job by end of season

 

[Minstrel]

False, I say the Blazers let him expire and use the money next season.

T/F Martell Webster wins the starting SF job by end of season

False, if you mean semi-permanently. I think he'll start most of the games, as he did last year, but the Blazers will go into the off-season with the position unsettled.

True or false, the Blazers will win a 6th seed or better in the coming season.

 

[gambitnut]

False, if you mean semi-permanently. I think he'll start most of the games, as he did last year, but the Blazers will go into the off-season with the position unsettled.

True or false, the Blazers will win a 6th seed or better in the coming season.

True. I predicted 82-0 this season, that should be good enough for at least the 6th seed.

True or false, Darius Miles plays at least 10 games for Boston and goes back on our salary cap?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

False, there is no way his knee holds up.

True or False, Aldridge is the teams leading scorer next season

 

[Minstrel]

False, there is no way his knee holds up.

True or False, Aldridge is the teams leading scorer next season

False, Aldridge will lose more shot attempts to Oden and Frye than Roy will to Bayless and Fernandez. I think Roy will lead the team in scoring again.

True or false, Raef LaFrentz will be traded mid-season.

 

[Denny Crane]

False, Aldridge will lose more shot attempts to Oden and Frye than Roy will to Bayless and Fernandez. I think Roy will lead the team in scoring again.

True or false, Raef LaFrentz will be traded mid-season.

Already asked and answered, try another

Doh, lost track.

True or false, Travis Outlaw will be traded within one calendar year from now.

 

[maxiep]

Doh, lost track.

True or false, Travis Outlaw will be traded within one calendar year from now.

True. We drafted another TO who can play defense in Batum. We're going to need to cull the roster and Outlaw's value as the gunner for the White Team was mitigated by the arrival of Bayless and Fernandez.

True or False, the Blazers win the Northwest Division this year.

 

[cpawfan]

False - The finally free of Camby's overrated ass Nuggets win it

True or False, Roy plays over 50% of his minutes at PG

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I'll say False, although its hard to say.... Bayless might play 1 or 2 on offense, but will play 1 on defense. Rudy could play some 1, and Blake will probably play 20 or so minutes a game at the one. So maybe not 50%

True/False Batum contributes in some capacity this season

 

[Minstrel]

I'll say False, although its hard to say.... Bayless might play 1 or 2 on offense, but will play 1 on defense. Rudy could play some 1, and Blake will probably play 20 or so minutes a game at the one. So maybe not 50%

True/False Batum contributes in some capacity this season

False. Batum, at best, gets a few minutes here and there to take some lumps as part of his development in adapting to NBA speed.

True or false, Oden will average at least 30 MPG this season.

 

[Natebishop3]

False. Batum, at best, gets a few minutes here and there to take some lumps as part of his development in adapting to NBA speed.

True or false, Oden will average at least 30 MPG this season.

True, I think as long as Oden can stay out of foul trouble he'll play the bulk of the minutes at center. He'll be too valuable.

True or false, Bayless will be the starting point guard by the end of the season?

 

[maxiep]

True, I think as long as Oden can stay out of foul trouble he'll play the bulk of the minutes at center. He'll be too valuable.

True or false, Bayless will be the starting point guard by the end of the season?

True and false. He will be the starter, but he'll play off-guard on offense while guarding the PG on defense. This offense is going to be run through Brandon.

True or false, The Blazers make a roster thinning (at least 2 for 1) trade by the deadline?

 

[Ed O]

True and false. He will be the starter, but he'll play off-guard on offense while guarding the PG on defense. This offense is going to be run through Brandon.

True or false, The Blazers make a roster thinning (at least 2 for 1) trade by the deadline?

True. I dunno who and I dunno how, but I bet there is a more-for-less (quantity wise) trade. Raef's contract and/or the impending cap holds we have seem to dictate that it makes sense.

True or false... Outlaw will play more minutes as a Blazer this season than Webster.

Ed O.

 

[Natebishop3]

True or false... Outlaw will play more minutes as a Blazer this season than Webster.

Ed O.

False. Webster is the only true sharpshooter this team has, so his ability to knock down the three will be desperately needed when Oden and Aldridge are on the floor. Outlaw has been made somewhat expendable by the addition of Rudy and Bayless to the second unit. Outlaw might even be traded before the deadline.

True or False, McMillain will win coach of the year.

 

[Denny Crane]

False, unless the Blazers win 65 games or otherwise are considered one of the top 3 teams in the league. Maybe next year tho!

T/F Michael Beasley wins ROY

 

[Magnum]

False, unless the Blazers win 65 games or otherwise are considered one of the top 3 teams in the league. Maybe next year tho!

T/F Michael Beasley wins ROY

True, voters like PPG and beasley's contributions will be more statistical. Oden's more defensive...

T/F Blazers sign martell or frye to an extension before the season starts

 

[Tortimer]

True, voters like PPG and beasley's contributions will be more statistical. Oden's more defensive...

T/F Blazers sign martell or frye to an extension before the season starts

False I think they would actually sign Frye to an extension before Webster but I think they wait on both. They could sign one or both next year depending on how they do this year and how much cap space they will need.

T/F KP secret target for next years FA is Kobe.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

False I think they would actually sign Frye to an extension before Webster but I think they wait on both. They could sign one or both next year depending on how they do this year and how much cap space they will need.

T/F KP secret target for next years FA is Kobe.

False, Kobe wouldn't want to come to Ptd and KP knows this. Also, the Blazers are stacked at SG and trying to shed any relation with players who have off court problems.

T/F Roy's heel will flare up and cause him to miss some games this year?

 

[1 Eye Jack]

False his heel problems are gone, but he will likely miss time for some other injury.

T/F The most improved player will be Frye?

 

[Minstrel]

False his heel problems are gone, but he will likely miss time for some other injury.

T/F The most improved player will be Frye?

False, I think Frye is close to his ceiling.

True or false, either Outlaw or Webster will make a major leap in his development this season.

 

[drexlersdad]

true

outlaw AND martell should progress nicely.

t/f
blake can win a championship as a starter.

 

[Tortimer]

true

t/f
blake can win a championship as a starter.

True but I would still like our chances with a better PG which I'm hoping Bayless fills that role.

T/F the Blazers will sign Livingston to a contract this year.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

False, As much as I would like it to happen, I just don't see it happening.

T/F Nate is the coach 2 years from now
