Fact. I think Rafael will be going to the Rookie Game and Rafer Alston might go and comepete in the skills competition
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting anignatoyn:</div><div class="quote_post"> F/F Vince will be the leading vote getter in the All Star game.</div> is this one of the reasons this thread got moved to the lounge? lol since the last msg didnt have an F/F in it... donyell marshall will be a contender for sixth man of the year
tough call, but I'm gonna say Fact. (I jsut would like it that way). F/F: Toronto will succesfully bid(and in turn, host) the 2008 ASG
NOTE: After a discussion between the JBB moderators and administrators, we have decided to keep these 'fact or fiction' threads, as they are a handy way to discuss the team during the offseason in a light-hearted manner. Please <u>make sure</u> they stay on topic though, any off topic posts will be deleted immediately. In other words, if you don't want to talk about the team in question, don't post. Thanks and happy discussing! Regards, Supersonic JBB Moderator.
Fiction: I think the days of foolishness are over. This season means something on many different levels. Headbands will be out and total desire and seriousness are in! F/F: The Raps finish in the top 5 of the Eastern Conference
Fact: The NBA needs to expand it's market and to have such a huge event in Canada is a great marketing move on their part. Toronto is unique in that it is the only non-US team, that will play well for them with their bid. F/F: The Raps finish in the top 5 of the Eastern Conference.
Fiction. There are just too many uprising good teams in the east, and the Raptors isnt one of them F/F: Toronto will win over 50 games
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bahir:</div><div class="quote_post">Fiction. There are just too many uprising good teams in the east, and the Raptors isnt one of them F/F: Toronto will win over 50 games</div> what? and the raptors are on the way down??? seems to me the raptors can only go UP from where they are. they got a promising young new coach, they got a pretty solid starting line-up that includes a superstar in the making and a deadly scorer. they also have a double double machine whos also versitile in donyell....the raptors may be lacking a center, but lots of teams do. id say the raptors are on the rise fiction...i think the raps will win around 50 games...just under, maybe around 45-49 games. raps will be over .500 but not by lots F/F: Rafer alston will avg over 6apg
Fact. Rafer's the main man at the point now, so he'll have plenty of opportunities to set up his teammates. And he's gonna throw some good ole fashioned And1 passes every time on the break. He's probably gonna average around 7 to 8 apg. F/F: Haffa's gonna start for us after the All Star break.
Fiction, I think Rafael Araujo's gonna get starting spot after Christmas. F/F: Peterson will take the starting SG spot as he proves everyone wrong that he's inconsistent, (he lost 15 pounds during the summer from last year's playing weight of 218 lbs) and Rose will request a trade.
Fact: If Jalen has a heaband on, Carter will follow suit. Remember the JYD socks he had for awhile...EEK ! F/F Chris Bosh will be the starting center, not Araujo.
Fiction: Mo Pete will be a 6th man, and will only start for Rose or Carter and possibly Alston if they're injured Fact or Fiction: Raptors average over 93 PPG As a team.
Fact: I think Raps will have the highest average in the east, but will return to be one of the worst defensive teams in the east. F/F Rob Babcock finishes the season as exec of the year.
^ Carcharias.. u didn't answer Banks question. I guess ill do it...Fact: the running game will allow the raps to score a lot of points Fiction: Rob is still a rookie and I think there are a lot of other GMs that are looking to improve their teams now. Babock is thinking long-term or so it seems F/F: At least 2 more players will be added to our bench
Fiction: I think our roster is bascially set, the only other players that you might see us sign are players invited to training camp that could be added to our 15 man roster, like a Jelani McCoy 2 years ago. Fact or Fiction: Chris Bosh wil make the All-Star team as a backup PF. To help you make your decision, here are other starting PF's in the conference: 'Sheed, Walker, Gooden, Chandler, Kwame Brown.
Fiction...................With Araujo pullin down alot of boards, i think CB4's board numbers will go down. I still think he'll be huge and average close to 15 points a game. Fact or Fiction Vince will play more than 65 games for the Raptors, wheather it be due to injury or trade.
Fact: Vince has no power in the trade market. If he plays well, why would the raps trade him? If he sulks and plays bad, whose gonna want him? I don't think he'll suffer any major injuries this season. F/F: Jerome Moiso shows his atleticism because of the raps running game and averages more than 15 minutes per game
Fact. With the lack of big bodies, I expect moiso to get minutes, at least early in the season. If he doesn't produce, he will be benched much like last year. F/F Sam Mitchell will win coach of the year for TOs turn around from last season
