Those predictions are so bad i don't know where to start You expect zaza a guy who was late first rounder to average a double double as a rookie? lol you expect two guys to average 12 and 10 off the bench...is even more crazy..you expect gooden and howard to average 17 and 15...god thats just crazy and stupid...i think you are living in the playstation world....it's more likely jerry west will make a NBA comeback than those things happening...

you just disagree with anything we say. y can't gooden and howard score 17 and 15. gooden avg almost 20 against big ben, i know he won't avg that for a full season, but why not 17? howard is a scorer, he always finds a way to get his points, so why not 15? giricek and garrity will play around 25 min a game. they won't be regular bench players who play like 12 min. u know garrity will be on fire and get 20 some games, and then 6 the next night and will be more effective against other teams 2nd team. same with giricek. i personally think with how zaza performed in the summer league, that he could be the gilbert arenas of this year(the 2nd rounder that turns out good) and i think he will start and get plenty of garbage points and rebounds. (since tmac will miss a lot of shots )
Howard has always been on bad teams...the only good team he was on..he averaged 14PPG....gooden PPG won't rise from 12 to 17 because he simply isn't as good yet..just because he averaged 20 v an injuried ben wallace means nothing..mike bibby had one lucky playoff series too only way howard and gooden average that numbers is if mcgrady scorers 27 or under..which we know won't happen....and who cares what zaza did in the summer league...it doesn't mean anything..loads of the poor players do well in the summer league but suck in the league he will be no better than steven hunter....why will garrity and giricek improve that much and average double fiqures off the bench? you aren't the kings... <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">you just disagree with anything we say</div> No,i just disagree with anything that is unrealistic.....which is what this is..
12.5....and with mcgrady on his team i doubt he will improve his scoring that much next season..with howard needing shots as well....
garrity and giricek avg 12 and 10 already, so they won't improve any, they will get plenty of time to score points, what's so wrong with scoring 12 and 10 off the bench? they were both starters last year, so our bench should be good. (since we will hopefully have 3 starters from last year on the bench this year) an injured ben wallace is still better than most of the defenders in the league at pf. he looked good and now this year he will have a full year to learn the playbook. it's hard for any player, but especially a rookie to go from one system to another, and having to learn it all over again. and he has loads of potential. if he works on his game a lot over the summer than i think he could avg 17. 14 is basically the same as 15, so you have no argument there. when u said that no way that they would get that i figured u were saying howard would get like 10 or something. just think though, if howard played better on bad teams where he was the #1 option and had to create shots for himself and would get double teamed, don't u think with a player like tmac he wouldn't have to create shots and won't get double teamed? i'm just stating my opinion u always tell truemaster to respect other's opinions, why don't you respect mine about zaza? he looked like he could be a threat. whatever i say isn't gonna happen, that's just what i'm predicting. i mean since i said zaza will get 10 and 10 doesn't mean that he will definetely get 10 and 10.
also, i think that tmac would sacrifice some of his scoring points to make the magic a better team. he might avg under 30 this year and howard or gooden might get 20. last year he had to score 30+ to even give the magic a chance to win, this year he won't have to score that much, because he will have more help. sorry for posting a triple thread.
Garrity and giricek won't play enough to get 10 and 12 PPG....howard will want his minutes..so will gooden...howard will want his shots..and mcgrady will clearly want his 24....garrity and giricek won't have the chance to score...you lot say mcgrady has no help..yet when it comes to next season you act like your offence is the dallas mavericks or the sacramento kings.... <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">i'm just stating my opinion u always tell truemaster to respect other's opinions, why don't you respect mine about zaza? he looked like he could be a threat. whatever i say isn't gonna happen, that's just what i'm predicting. i mean since i said zaza will get 10 and 10 doesn't mean that he will definetely get 10 and 10.</div> Just because i'm disagreeing with what you say here..doesn't mean i don't respect it...zaza will likely be a 6 and 5 player..depending on minutes...but what if i made a post saying this..

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting sportsrock37:</div><div class="quote_post">and yes allnet the trade does matter.</div> Sorry but half a season doesn't count..it is what happens in total for me...and really 12.5 to 13 PPG is not much different anyway...which is what he averaged in orlando
i agree with truemaster. the thing is though, gooden and howard will get into foul trouble, so that gives garrity some minutes. and howard/gooden will play some center and that gives giricek some minutes. they will have plenty of time. garrity will at least, u saw how much doc played an injured garrity in the playoffs. doc loves garrity. mine weren't that bad. they are a little biased i agree, but i didn't predict that bad.
u guys are just cutting down our predictions, post your predictions then give your opinion about our predictions.
Ok fine..but i'm not going to go into ful detail.. Record-47-35 Seeding-4th Player predictions Mcgrady 33PPG 7 rebounds 5.8 assists Lue 7PPG....4 assists Howard 13PPG 7RPG Gooden 14PPG 8RPG Hunter-5 and 5 or something close to that...but i predicted magic top 5 this year..but they underacheived...be interesting to see what happens this time
