ok we know how the game works. Fact or Fiction: Sebastian Telfair will be the leader of this team for the next 5-10 years
Fact: He definitely has the potential to do that. Fact or Fiction: The JailBlazers nickname will end this year.
Fact, I think we will clean up our act and Zach will clean up his act and be a leader. F or F Zach will be an all star
Fiction: I dont think so Fact or Fiction: Blazers wont make the playoffs but will be in playoff chace.
Fact. Hopefully. Unless he turns out to be another sheed'. Fact or Fiction : Randolph and Telfair will be one of the most dangerous inside out combo in say the next 3 to 8 years.

Telfair has yet to show me anything to say he will be a good player, and although Randolph is a talented player I don?t see him being the premier player at the power forward slot in three to five years. He will be good probably average around twenty points a game for the next couple seasons, but has not shown me the skill to be a leader yet. F/F Martell Webster will me on one of the NBA all rookie teams?
Fact, with DA gone he may start this year at SG and he can light up any scoreboard F or F: D Miles will finally live up to his potential
Fiction.Not this year maybe next year,im not to sure on this one,maybe this year. F or F:Jarrett Jack will play more than Bassy? GO Jarrett Jack!
Sorry, but that's fiction, the Blazers are basing their franchise around Telfair and Jack will serve as his back-up. F or F: The Blazers will be a power in the West in 3-5 years.
Fact. Blazers will be top 3 in 3 years. F/F: Blazers will make it past the first round of the playoffs.
Fiction, they still have work to do F/F It was a right choice to pick Martell Webster in stead of Gerald Green
This one's tough. But I'll go with fact. I is said on NBA.com that during the rookie shoot, Webster threw up half court shots as though they were normal shots and scored more than he missed. Thats scary. So I'll say fact. His shooting is crazy. Fact or Fiction : The Blazers will screw up big time this season before all star break but come back strong and miss the playoffs narrowly.
Even though i must admit its hard to tell how the team will gel in the summer i will say Fiction,Zach will return hungry for stats after a very dry year,Joel will work his ass off for a good contract in the summer and i expect from Telfair to improve even further this summer ( and just a simple reminder: Bassy had an avrage of 13 points and around 6.5 assists per game in the last 2 months of the season). The team is builted better this year yet the roster is younger so we can expect inconsistent stats from the players - a thing that will hurt the Blazers. I guess Nate will build this team alot around the defensive play like he did in seattle so i think the Blazers will open kinda strong but will be more tired and lose more as the season progress... But have no worries! the Blazers are still better than Memphis and LA Fact Or fiction: Travis Outlaw will FINALLY show us that he is worth the draft pick we spent on him and will be an importent player in Nate's plans each night.
Fiction. The most Travis can do is be backup to Darius Miles. He's the first choice SF out there and unless he gets hit by a big injury r something I can't see Outlaw playing a big part in Nate's plans. Fact or Fiction : The Trailblazers will trade for a veteran star soon to lead their team and mentor the youngster there.
Blazer fact or fiction... Fact- The dispensable talent supply is runnin' high and many teams are interested in what the Blazers have to offer. As soon as Nate gets a good sense of what he has to work with, the deals will start to materialize. Fact or fiction: Ratliff will be able to handle steady minutes off the bench at center behind Joel and PF behind Z-Bo.
