Fact or Fiction: T.J Ford will play at least 75 games this season.</div> I'm going to give that a fiction, and Bucks fans should hope that that's true. After a debilitating injury like the one Ford suffered, you're never actually out of the woods. The worst thing they could is rush him into things and have him playing too many minutes. Thankfully, the NBA has the lightest workout regimen of any league in the world, so Ford can rest assured that he will have the chance to get a full recovery without too terribly much pressure. All things being equal, Ford can be the real difference-maker for this team this season. His presence may very well spell the difference between lottery and playoff contention. Don't forget, this team just wasn't that bad two seasons ago. Last year seemed like a fluke to me, and they turn out to be the better for it, so I guess it wasn't a total wash. Ford seems to run an offense capably and can turn bad defenses into worse ones, both great things out of a point guard, especially with all the defensive vulnerability in the eastern underlings (not Detroit, Indiana, etc.). So here goes, Fact or Fiction - Michael Redd was the most important off-season dealing the Bucks were involved with. It may seem like a lay-up, but I have my own ideas about that one.
Fiction: Adding Andrew Bogut was a better move than keeping Redd. As talented as Redd is, and sure 20 point a night guys are rare, a big man with the potential that Bogut has can turn around a franchise. Fact or Fiction: Bobby Simmons will average more than 15 ppg
Fact even though Dez is gonna take some playing time from him, Simmons is gonna benefit from Redd's presence on the perimeter and Bogut down low. He'll prolly even approach 16-17 ppg. Fact or Fiction The Bucks will make the playoffs this year.
Fiction I hate to say it, but the Bucks won't. We're a very young team, and our division is going to be really tough. That said, I will be very disapointed if we don't win 40 games, and if we aren't in playoff contention. Fact or Fiction: Andrew Bogut will have a 20/20 game
fiction because hes probly going to get hurt but shaq or yao because he so small and probly injure hime self the whole season. But i wish it will be a fact
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting NBA_FAN:</div><div class="quote_post">fiction because hes probly going to get hurt but shaq or yao because he so small and probly injure hime self the whole season. But i wish it will be a fact</div> Getting hurt by yao??? I dont think yao can hurt bogut, Yao is kinda soft. Fiction, Cause Bogut will probably get injurys and playing hurt thoughout the whole season. Fact or Fiction: Will the Bucks Win at least 40 games this season?
Fact. 40 wins is about what we should expect this year. We're very talented, with depth, but we're also very young, inexperienced, and learning to play defense. We won't make the playoffs, but we'll be in the thick of the race and 40 wins sounds just about right. Fact or Fiction: Desmond Mason will be 6th man of the year.
fact- he is a better 6th man than a starter and the experience at starter will help him a lot coming off the bench f/f- T.J. Ford will start more games than Mo Williams
Fiction. I think that Stotts will ease T.J back into the lineup, and maybe even have him come off the bench until it's sure that he's healthy. It might happen, but I'm thinking that we're going to take it easy with T.J and let him have time to get back on his feet. Fact or Fiction: Bobby Simmons will average more than 15 points per game.
Wow, I remember what I posted, don't I ? Fiction: Redd should stay. We overpaid for him, but that's because he's a very important part of our team. Maybe down the road, but definitely not now. Fact or Fiction: Andrew Bogut will average close to a double double as a rookie.
Fact - Bogut will average CLOSE to a double-double - 11 points, 8 boards is my guess. Fact or fiction: Milwaukee will win the season series against the Cavs (with whom they share a lot of similarities)
Fact-There certainly are some similarities between the teams, and I think a big one is that they are both young and looking to establish themselves as a legit playoff team. I think that it will be close, but the Bucks will trump the Cavs with their depth. I'm sure, though, that with the way the Bucks play D, LeBron is going to have a memorable performance or two... Fact or Fiction: T.J will average at least 12 points per game this season.
Fact. 16 points and 8 assists. There are no ball hogs on the team really, and you'll be forced to double Redd, so a bulk of the teams points have to come from either TJ feeding Bogut or TJ scoring himself.
Fact Or Fiction Maurice Williams has proven to be a good backup if Ford has foul trouble or something along those lines.
