    Do we need to put another topic after answering yours? Isn't that how Fact or Fiction works? Well, I think House will average more than 10ppg, and could average 5apg if he gets enough pt. Cuz last year Barbosa or JJ could've averaged 5apg, but everyone was so used to Nash running the offense, nobody else could move the ball like he could. If they second unit learns to work cohesively, Nash's backup could feasably avg 5apg.

    I don't like the rumors floating, but I'm gonna say Fiction, though that depends on this upcoming season. If the Suns get far in the playoffs, and Amare has another monster MVP-candidate season, I think he'll stay around.

    Fact or Fiction: Shawn Marion will get more recognition this season (All-Star, Defensive Team, Defensive POY, etc.)

    Fact. The Spurs are still tied for the best team in the West with the Suns, and I don't think any other team will beat them in the playoffs. If they finish 1 and 2, which they probably will, they will meet in a great West Finals.

    Fact or Fiction - Bryan Colangelo will repeat as Executive of the Year.

    Fiction: He transformed the Suns from a bottom 3 team in the West to the team with the best record in the West. There is little room to improve, and although he added depth the team hasn't improved too much due to the loss of JJ.

    Fact. The suns will dominate the pacific devision because the competition is not really there. The Sacramento Kings is the suns only real rival in this division. HOwever, if Baron Davis stays health i thinik Golden State could give the suns a run for their money.

    Fact or Fiction
    The suns will be one of the top defensive teams this year.

    Fiction. They've improved, but they are nowhere near the top. Nash and Stoudemire still need to learn how to play defense, and I don't think they really will. I still think they have the best all-around defensive player in Shawn Marion, but as a team, they aren't close to Detroit or San Antonio (God that was a boring Finals).

    Fact or Fiction: Amare will average more than 10rpg.

    Fiction. Last year the Suns and Sonics got 3 in the ASG because of their huge turnarounds. This year, less attention will be on the Suns, and only 2 will go. My guess is Amare and Nash.

    ForF: Nash will lead the league again in apg.

    I'll take a stab at this. I'm going to say (possibly) fiction. Why? Well the dynamic is different this year and it's quite possible Nash will be needing to put up more points (and therefor, probably, less assists). Of course he'll still easily be in top 5, if not 3.. hell me might even stay in #1 AND raise his ppg.

    F/F: "Indiana" Jones is going to step up his game and become our go-to guy off the bench.

    Fiction. I think Jimmy Jackson will be the main guy off the bench (granted he's not starting), but would like to see him team up with Jones to provide solid bench production.

    F/F: The Suns will lead the league in ppg.

    "fact of fiction---Marion will improve a lot in his numbers from last year"

    Man! That's exactly what I was going to post!!!
    Totally a fact. Marion was gypped by having JJ and Q getting so much hype last year.
    I wouldn't be surprised to see him be the team's top scorer this season. The Suns have a great trio going on... so:

    Fact or fiction: Suns have the best 3 player tandem in the league (Marion, Nash, Stoudemire)?
