I know there's an old version of this but it hurts to look back at it....therefore, it's time for a new one. The rules are simple. I'll start off by making a statement...then somebody answers "fact" or "fiction" with a valid reason of why they picked what they did. That part is easy. The twist I'd like to add to it is this: If you are reading through the thread and you disagree with some one's "fact or fiction" judgement, then I want you to start a seperate thread on that specific issue (unless, of course, it's something we've already covered). When you've started the other thread, post "Challenge" and post the URL to the new thread in the fact or fiction thread. This way we can make sure that we cover all of the offseason issues that we may or may not agree upon. Ok, I'll start this off: Fact or Fiction? - Ricky Davis will start this year.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting 44Thrilla:</div><div class="quote_post"> Fact or Fiction? - Ricky Davis will start this year.</div> Fiction- I think Doc and Danny like Ricky coming off the bench, and would prefer Allen or Gomes to start and Ricky to come in to provide the instant offense Fact or Fiction? The Celtics will start the season with five point guards (Banks, West, Dickau, Greene, and Bynum) still on the roster.

Danny Ainge will trade paul pierce

If marcus banks is traded delonte west will b the starting pg
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting celtics34:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or Fiction?

Al Jefferson will b dominent this year
Fiction - He'll still struggle a little with double teams, but overall he will be much improved. His poor defense will stop him from staying on the court long enough to be an all-star. Fact or Fiction? - Paul Pierce is happy to call himself a Boston Celtic.
Fact or Fiction? - Paul Pierce is happy to call himself a Boston Celtic. Fiction. I don't think Pierce is happy at the moment but as the season starts he will become more comfortable and we will all put this behind us. Fact or Fiction?- The Boston Celtics will miss the playoffs this season and become a lottery team.

Paul Pierce will make the all star team
Fact: Paul Pierce is Paul Pierce his spot as an all star reserve is almost guaranteed. Fact or Fiction: Who is a better PG Banks or Delonte?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheTruth5:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact: Paul Pierce is Paul Pierce his spot as an all star reserve is almost guaranteed. Fact or Fiction: Who is a better PG Banks or Delonte?</div> That's not a fact or fiction question But, I'd have to go with Delonte. His experience with winning, his desire to play and his all around game have shaped him into one of the most promising guards in the league. Marcus is a sloppy player with flashes of brilliance on defense and a very streaky offensive game. Fact or Fiction: Qyntel Woods and Curtis Bordchart will fit into the organization and find playing time?

Ricky Davis will win the 6th man of the year award
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting celtics34:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or Fiction? Ricky Davis will win the 6th man of the year award</div>Fiction - I'm still not sure if he'll start or not, but even if he doesn't, he has a black mark on his name and the national media REFUSES to give him any credit whatsoever. He deserved it last year (or at least deserved a closer vote), but because of his past -- it didn't happen like it should have. Fact or Fiction? - The Doc Rivers/Paul Pierce feud was just a bit of growing pains, and will become a non-issue this season.

Gerald Green will b in the starting lineup for the Rookie Sophmore game
Fiction, Green won't see the floor much before the all star break. F or F? Kendrick Perkins will become the starter by the end of the season.
