That was already asked. But to answer it, I say Fact. I thinl they will develop chemistry beyond everyone's expectations. I think they will start of rocky despite a full training camp and preason but around early December or so, they should be working together at high level. Fact or Fiction: The 76ers will make it to the Conference Finals.
fiction. although i love the sixers and they are my favorite team, with this current roster, i still think they are missing something. i think we can make it to the semi-finals, but not the finals. if BK makes some more aquasitions or some key trades, i think it can happen, but really, how can we match up to the heat and the pistons? i hope we make it that far, but seems more like a dream than a reality to me. fact or fiction: chris webber will remain healthy for most of the season
Fact. I think a reduced role and managed minutes will see Webber remain healthy. A solid training camp and pre-season should have him in good shape. Plus with backups, he does not have to play too many minutes, thus limiting his chances of injury. Fact or Fiction: Iverson, Webber and Iggy will all be All-Stars this year?
Fiction: Iguodala still has alot of competition at SF/SG so he wont make it unless voted. But I doubt he will be voted, over guys like: Hill, Carter, Pierce AI is a given All-Star, Webber might need to prove something to make backup role, he wont be voted in. Fact or Fiction: Chris Webber rehabbed his knee will produce: 19 ppg 12 rpg 5 apg this season
Fact. I don't see why not. Everybody saw what a healthy Webber can do in Sacramento why can't he do it here. Fact or fiction - Iverson this year will have a drop off in points (to around 24-25 ppg)
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or fiction - Iverson this year will have a drop off in points (to around 24-25 ppg)</div> Fact, with the emerging young players, a rehabbed Webber, and a point guard oriented coach, I'm sure his points will drop a bit and his assists will go up. Fact or Fiction: Philadelphia will get past the first round in the playoffs next year.
Fact - But only if we get 6th or better seed. At 7th and 8th we would probably get wasted by either Miami or Detroit again. Fact or Fiction - We will have a better record than last year.
Fact, improving the record is a no brainer. Fact or Fiction: Iverson won't win a ring in his entire career.
Fiction. You know AI ain't havin that. Fact or Fiction: The Sixers will draft a big man and a point guard in the 2006 NBA Draft.
^Fiction, I think they'll draft a small forward or shooting guard. Fact or Fiction, Andre Iguodala will fall into a terrible sophomore slump next season.
^Fiction. By slump, you mean shooting, and AI2 doesnt shoot too much anyways. even if he is in a slump, he can always provide us good D. Fact or Fiction: stephen hunter will prove that he is worth the big bucks this season
Fact. I think Hunter was starting to emerge as last years playoffs went on, so with another pre season and learning our system I think he will contribute substantially. We are not too deep in the front court so he will see playing time to develop, improve and contribute. Fact or Fiction: Mo Cheeks will win Coach of the Year honours this season?
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or Fiction: Mo Cheeks will win Coach of the Year honours this season?</div> Fiction, but it really can go either way. If Sixers can boost their wins and get maybe the third seed in the playoffs, it would be a strong candidate. Fact or Fiction: John Salmons will be utilized much more this season.
It's kind of hard to say how Salmons will be used. I think if he gets more agressive in the games instead of settling for jump shots he would be more utilizable ( I don't know if thats a word or not). Fact or Fiction? Am I the only one who thinks that AI is still going to average around 30 a game next year?
FACT. A.I just doesn't have that much left in the tank anymore and some people just have to move on and accept the fact that for the rest of his career he'll have to adjust his game. F/F - A.I will switch back to shooting guard in the near future.
I think A.I will continue to average around 30 points and 8 assists for the near future!! Fiction. Iverson has made such progress and played arguably his best season ever as a point guard. He is far more dangerous from that position and I think Mo Cheeks knows that and will keep him at the point. Fact or Fiction: Louis Williams will be the next Iverson??
Fiction, there will be never another Iverson, but with the right people around him, he could be just as dangerous though. F/F- If the Sixers sign Dajuan Wagner, he could have a breakout season.

What gives you the indication that AI doesn't have much left in the tank? Come on man he just came off a 30 and 8 season. In my opinion he is in the prime of his career. I believe AI can average 30 and 9 or 10 this year, like he did in the playoffs. The tank still has plenty left..... Anyway, I don't think Wagner could have a breakout season with the 76ers. He would be playing off the bench so I don't really see him "breaking" out.
Lets start this back up- Fact or Fiction: We'll be getting a legit starting small forward by the trade deadline.

Fiction. We don't have thee essential pieces to get a legit SF. And our only valuable pieces are our young guys and I know BK won't trade any of them. F or F: A.I will score 60 Points yet again.
